After installing this on all four corners, I covered over 8,000miles and the rears are about 1mm to go before starting to hit the wear limit.
As my chassis setup is quite different and while I don’t accelerate hard (WOT in lower gears), I do use really hard braking so my comment may not be the same for your setup and driving condition.
For OEM wheels, even with the today’s latest technology, I still felt the OEM NSX specific tyres suited best for my style when I compared it with several well known aftermarket ones on different NSXs.
You can still get these OEM tyres in Japan and possibly in US.
I went through so many tyre set over the 136K miles on my NSX and initially, I was bit worried about going for the AD-08 based on the characteristic of OEM Yoko’s in wet conditions.
However, soon, I was really impressed with it and at this stage, it is my choice of the tyre next to the OEM one for the NSX with OEM wheel.
If you use different tyre size compared to the OEM ones on the aftermarket wheels, it’s a completely different story.
Personally, the OEM Rear tyre width is too narrow considering its performance/characteristic and I would rather have much wider tyre at the rear and find the suitable aftermarket wheel for it.
AD-08 performed really well under braking not only in the dry but also in the wet.
Even in the cold winter weather, it was OK but I have upgraded ABS.
Very consistent even after several 1’000s miles in all weather conditions and just recently started to feel nervousness while its temperature is still low when going through the roundabout.
I better start shopping for the rear tyres as sometimes, it is out of stock and could be a long waiting time….
