Tyres

[Pride]

Thanks for replies,no luck with "ears".Any thoughts on mixing existing ADO8R fronts with Toyo R888 rears.

Hi again, as you know the front tyres hardly ever wear out, I remember my front Eagle F1's never did, they just exceeded the age limitation on the date stamp of the tyre.

Change them for the 888R's at the same time and then feel the extra grip and increased G on turn ins, you'll love it.

i think the b'stone potenza is a decent competent all rounder on the NSX ... been using these tyres since owning an Evo and now with the NSX and they have yet to let me down and I have done all types of driving. You should not be disappointed

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, just my personal opinion, but every NSX I have ever driven with mis-matched F2R tyres does not feel as planted as a matched set of tyres. Something for you to consider perhaps. Rgds Paul

They're very popular with a lot of Japanese cars. I have hankooks ventus v12 evos and had the potenza re040's, just not as grippy in the wet. I think a few have had the hankooks on their nsx's in here.

That's cause they are a Japenese company!
i have never had any issues in the wet in all the cars I ... Talent perhaps but not tyre related.
quality branded tyres are one of those areas that divides opinion. However we all can agree that cheap crap is crap.

I ... what? crashed??? Talent???

I know they are, Bridgestones are popular with those wanting something that sticks like you know what to a blanket, better grip etc.
The RE011's is it are the best for grip for something race like and road legal that leave bits of tyre in potholes on the road as they move over it.

Yes the hankooks will last longer and for everyday use would be financially cheaper, so it depends on the amount of driving being done, if the car is taken out in the summer months then its a no brainer, go for the potenzas.

Agree with potenzas! Great tyre. Although ad08s are good too.

[NSXGB]

The AD08R's that I put on mine come up a lot more generous in the width. Stacked all four tyres next to the stack of old Good Year GSD3's and the Yoko stack was a good 3" taller. Worth bearing in mind if you don't have power steering.
