I've been running RE050A's on mine for about 3-4 years now. I really rate them - maybe not as good as the old SO3s (gawd love em) but still a great tyre in both wet and dry i.e. UK weather! If yours sits in a garage all winter then there are undoubtedly better dry tyres out there.
I have 265 35 18 rears and 215 40 17 fronts - these are Y rated (upto 186mph).

ok i dont surelly know how they are in rain at 4 *celsius. but they are especially very good in rain. in dry conditions all tyres are not so bad, also the sport maxx (245-40-17)

My local tyre place has got me replacement bridgestone for 105 each all around which is cheaper than my ford kuga! New rubber in time for the European tour. Happy days
My Yokohama AD08R tyres arrived today. Been on a slow boat from China.... or Japan!
Looking good,all matched up for the summer
Morning,
For 02+ wheels I've been researching tyre options, annoyingly a brand new set of GSD3s on the front will have to be binned as the tears are no longer available.
I come up with two main contenders
Conti sport contact 3... Is this an old tyre... Seems to be a "5" out there now

Yoko AD08R... Possibly noisy?

On the RE050 potenzas I'm not sold... I see people saying they're designed to work well on an nsx and some followers but all the reviews I read are poor. What am I missing here?
Cheers

Hankook works fine as a substitute for Bridges. Firmer sidewall than Conti but not as firm as Bridges.

Yoko R's are great, noise difference between that and the previous Goodyears not noticeable. Hankooks were terrible!
I'm not sure the Yokos are viable as they are only W rated. I have RE050s on mine as they have a stiff sidewall - something that the GSDs didn'tOriginally Posted by Lankstarr

I'm sure I read somewhere that the Michelin Pilot Sports will be available soon in 17/17 sizes, they are rather good tyres, hopefully will be on the NSX too.
