I have REO40's ( 16" front) and REO50's (17" rear)
combination works well
just replaced my rears after my trip to Switz/Germany inc trip to Nurburgring, put on Bridgestone RE050a's on last week. 50's were on car originally and work very well. little or no wear on the fronts after all this
thumbs up for b'stone

Can the original JDM spec tyres be bought in the UK for the NA2 NSX-R
My car has Bridgestone RE 040's on it currently.
Having now put in 3,000 miles on the AD08s I can only continue to sing their praises. Great grip and long life. I'm yet to find a better alternative.
Hugely better than the Bridgestone 040, poor grip in the dry and useless in the wet, unless you like terminal understeer. The 050 on the rear was better but lasted for 3,000 miles.
Who makes the AD08's ?
Is there any general opinion as to which are the best tyres for the NSX or does everyone have their own favourite.
The AD08's are made by Yokohama and there full title is Advan AD08, I have these on my car at the moment and IIRC Kaz has just fitted them to his as well.
So far they have performed very well.
The problem we have is none of the original OEM tyres are available anymore, however Yokohama were one of the OEM tyre manufactures and list the NSX on their website.

Yokohama.
And everyone seems to have their own favourite. Paul likes his Hankook Ventus V12 Evo, a few seem to stick with the Bridgestone RE040/050 "OE replacements" as they've got stiff-enough sidewalls, and I'm sure there's other options out there.

Blue '08 FD2 CTR - big, ITR-sized shoes to fill...
Yellow '96 NSX 3.0 - oh was it worth the wait!
Black '99 ITR - well, I had to have another one, the first was so much fun. Miss this one even more than #1...
Blue '03 S2000 - SOLD, flawed but fun
Blue '04 Focus TDCi Sport - SOLD, very good fun for a diesel!
Black '00 ITR - SOLD, still missed
Red '98 Civic VTi - SOLD, probably still bombproof

Yep, these are working well with 5k miles on them.
I also have two sets of the OEM NSX-R tyres
Paul's correct in that Kaz is running with the new Adnan tyre.
