Tyres

I've been very impressed with these on the NSX and even during the recent slush and heavy rain they have performed well! Bed in a lot quicker than the F1's and warm up quicker too.

All 4 tyres are XL, which means they have a stiffer sidewall and thus a higher load rating than a standard tyre and this really works as there is minimal roll in the corners.

It really sharpens up the handling!

So far so good!

Hi Ary,

I had the GSD3's (I think that correct) which are directional and sided. Great in the wet and superb in the dry, especially when almost slick ;)

The Evo's are IMO equal to the F1's, offer a stiffer side wall which should suit the coupe better and are less ££

Regards,

Paul

Have just ordered a set of AD 08s
215 45 16 @ £103 each +VAT fitted
245 40 17 @ £140 each + VAT fitted

Anyone tried these yet ?

Hopefully they last a bit longer than the RE050s

Where are you ordering from?

If these are the long awaited new Yokos thats highly rated, then the prices seem quite reasonable. They are supposingly a semi track tyre aswell as road. I searched some on line prices from overseas retailers last year, when they weren't not available in the UK and they seem quite steep then.

Agreed. Just found them on RareRims for £40-50 more per tyre! :eek:

(They even want >£100 for ITR-fitment, which is frankly nutty...)

Funnily enough they are from my local Honda dealer.
Not sure where they sourced them from.
Will let you know what the feel like as and when fitted.

Well it time to change my fronts. The thread depth is more than fine about 70% good, but on close inspection the tyre has deterioration, in between the tread itself. I guess lack of use and being on for a long period of time, its just taken its toll now. So doing a bit of searching around and found some tyres for the NSX in OEM 16" Size

Bridgestone Potenza RE040
Pirelli P7
Dunlop Sport MAXX MFS
Continental Premium Contact 2
Yokahama A043A
YokahamA A022
Goodyear Excellence


Anyone have any experience on the above?

It depends what you have on the rear, however I enjoyed the feedback the RE040's gave.
