Track tire....

Blue370tt

If you google re11 vs ad08 you will get many answers to this question. Since the title of this thread is "track tire" I would say the AD08 is better. All the comparisons on the web show the AD08 as the clear winner in track times and grip.

That being said most comparisons rate these 2 tires almost even or close. The RE11 does have superior wet performance....but....thats not what this thread was about....and.....my Z doesnt go out in the rain.

And for the above post "I got a better time with the RE11s", I am sure there were many other factors involved in your time that day. You could probably also say "I got a better time wearing Hanes underwear" too....but that does mean the track conditions, temp, car running condition, etc, played no part.

looks like i need to go buy hanes underwear... and then actually start wearing underwear.

But i agree, so many facters in track times. Truthfully, either tire would be great for the OP. If hes worried about the diff between the 2 to help him on the track, he must be a really pro driver.

The RE-11 feels faster than the AD08 because it can hold a little more cornering force, but the AD08 is better under braking. All in all there isn't much performance difference in these tires, or any of the tires in this grouping - they are all good. I've driven on just about all of them, unfortunately not all on the same car so I can't make a true comparison as car setup is much more of a factor than tire.

That said, if you want the lowest lap times then you need something like this
