Comming Soon Yokohama AD08R
 
Looks like Yokohama decided to tweak their AD08 tire with a different rubber compound. Everything I can find speculates that it will have a 140 tread wear rating. It would be interesting to see what that 520hp 86 runs with a track setup instead of a drift setup.

Hopefully they don't fail as miserably as Bridgestone with their RE-11a sizing...:shakes head: I was so disappointed.

You can get the RE-11's in 305/30/19. It's roughly the same OD as a 275/35/19. With stock height it shouldn't rub.

I read about this about two weeks. I love my current AD08's. Great tires hands down.

RE-11's are different from the RE-11a's. RE-11a's have a new and better tread compound. Plus I have 18's :tiphat:

Yeah the RE11 18s sizing blows. I told them that too when i was still sponsored by Bridgestone for time attack. We'll see if the RE11A gets better wide 18 sizing

I don't expect it Clint for sizing....I've talked to the Brigestone Reps that communicate with us at Costco. They said the RE-11a's are just planning to cover the most common RE-11 sizes. For the rest they are going to stay with the RE-11's so the RE-11's will not be discontinued other then for those sizes that are being replaced by the RE-11a's. The pricing is down significantly though on them right now at Costco. 275/40R18's at $263.52/tire and the 275/35R18's at 259.99/tire. Down about $30 a piece.

im running 285/35/18 sqaure, and thats the minimal OD i like, 275/35/18 makes the car really low, and im not even low on my coilover settings

I contacted Yokohama and they said there are no plans to bring these to the US at this time.

06PlatinumG 06-15-2013 12:37 AM

Now acordding to Tire Rack they will be released this summer, more information in July

Merlinshawn 06-23-2013 07:39 PM

Tirerack.com has listed it on their website, but they have only put up one tire size right now.
