Just to update a friend of mine came back with a good price (i thought) for Bridgestones so i decided to go for them. Stock sizes for the 16/17 combination Bridgestone RE050 Rear and RE040 for front - £520 fitted and balanced.
Cheers All.

This place is very reasonable for tyres and cheap shipping to the UK. Unfortunately they don't sell the Advans. Going to buy some winter tyres from them for my DD though as they are super cheap for my car.

The Bridgestone combo above would come in at about £460 delivered.
Hi Guys my first post in the forums, I have just had a new set of Yokohama AD08's 16 & 17 inch fitted by www.blackcircles.com at a price of £618.00. I have not tried them yet, and it will probably be another week at least looking at the snow falling outside.
One question is that the pressures put in by the fitters is 33 front 41 rear. That seems to be a bit OTT as my previous Yokohama's A022's had 30 and even then had the centre a bit more worn than the outers. That would be the rears of course as the fronts had not realy worn but had been on for 13 years so I thought it was wise to change them.
Cheers

Hi, Paul. Welcome to the club though you joined about 2.5yrs ago.....
You can find the tyre pressure setting for OEM wheels and tyres on the sticker located at the driver door opening.
As you can see, it’s F:33, R:40psi.
In UK, it’s not an easy task to get hold of OEM tyre set. Most of them are no longer available in UK or a certain corner is missing.
If you are using aftermarket wheel size or using aftermarket tyre (which is the case for you), then you will need to find the sweet spot of tyre pressure for your own taste.
OEM setting of 33/40psi is a good starting point for AD-08 and once the weather gets warmer, you may want to play with it.
I use AD-08 on OEM 16/17 wheels and I prefer bit lower tyre pressure setting than the Honda specified one but my entire package is quite different from yours especially around the suspension and brake area so may not suit you.
Since you have new tyres, it would be a good time to check your alignment.
My NSX is every day car and I cover about 3K - 5K miles per annum so it’s a ‘must’ for me to carry out alignment service at least once a year.

I'm trying to buy two Advan Neova ADO8R 225/50R16 for the rears on my 1991. Seems to be none available,any ideas?

I tried everywhere for some a couple of months back and nobody could help, except camskill who said they had them, took my card details, said they'd be dispatched in two days and then said they didn't have them after all! Ended up with bridgestones all round...
Hi pralognan, I've got a 92 on origanol 15/16's.Quote:

Over 17 years of Nsx ownership I have tried nearly everything in that time but these have absolutely unbelievable grip in the dry, far better than you'd ever expect in the wet and totally smooth and silent running but best of all they are the coolest, meanest looking tread pattern on the market when parked.
Admittedly, because of the softer compound the rears lasted about 10,000 miles, but in imho that's a small price to pay for such stunning performer.:)
Thanks for replies,no luck with "ears".Any thoughts on mixing existing ADO8R fronts with Toyo R888 rears.
