That is what is getting me confused as the fronts aren't shown on the link - I may have picked the wrong tyreOriginally Posted by Driver Matt
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.
Mark at Event Tyres said Yoko's website is bloody confusing - the earliest they can get me some is 25 July, apparently.

“I find myself irresistibly attracted to cars that nobody else buys. The NSX is a classic of the genre because nobody buys it and yet it’s a fantastic car. It’s got a wonderful compactness and simplicity and unpretentiousness to it. Honda rudely continues to make them whether we like it or not, even though there can be no commercial logic in doing so — I thoroughly admire that.” Rowan Atkinson
Are Advan Sport (Noel's link) the same things as Advan/AD 08? I thought the latter was a dedicated track day tyre?
Cheers

The older I get, the faster I was
Tyres definitely exist in 215 45 16 even if not listed on web site.
"For racers and car enthusiasts with highly tuned cars. They use their car on the street and occasionally on the race track and want one tyre to do both duties. Capable of astonishing lap times. 1:44.37 at Eastern Creek Raceway, Sydney to win the Clubsprint Class at World Time Attack 2010. 107.4 at Wakefield Park set by O. Zaberca. And 59.945 lap time at Tsukuba Circuit Japan - SEE VIDEO BELOW.

If you want a high performance tyre that will give you comfort, low noise levels and good mileage this is not the tyre for you. Please choose the ADVAN Sport."

If you like to have a stiff tyre sidewall please stay away of Contis.
My next tyre will be the Hankook EVO V12 or even the racier RS-2 Z212 as I don't need a wet tyre. The later also have the right sizes for the front: 215/45/16. People on the Racer-Forum of the Nürburgring give it a thumbs-up.
I believe the AD08 is the new 'extreme road/trackday' one which everyone is raving about. Yoko are making it available in a wide range of sizes, including 'rare' 16" dimensions.
Isn't the sport the more 'sensible' summer tyre?
