Latest tyre test in EVO.........

Contis win the test.....

It would be a braver man than me to run on COnti's in anything other than dry conditions. I had these on my daily and they were very poor in the wet and only OK in the dry IMO.

They also wore very quickly giving up only 9k miles before the were on the wear limits.

Entirely depends on the particular model though. All tyre manufacturers make good and bad (relatively) tyres. That's one reason to stick with the well known big brands, they tend to make fewer poor ones.

I had Conti Sport 2's on my 993 and they were excellent.

Indeed. The Contis were the fastest round the track in the wet.

Must say that having put a few hundred miles on the AD08s they are fantastic. Not sure how long they'll last but dry grip is awesome.

I saw you yesterday........... I wouldn't have overtaken where you did so they must be good, lol.

Which sizes did you get?

Have been driving like a Christian, only overtaking where safe to do so.
Sizes are standard which I believe are : 215 45 16 and 245 40 17.

That is what is getting me confused as the fronts aren't shown on the link - I may have picked the wrong tyre

Are Advan Sport (Noel's link) the same things as Advan/AD 08? I thought the latter was a dedicated track day tyre?

Hankooks do well in some of the tests here
