Default 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... 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.

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

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

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

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

Well the good news is that based on the one size they will be the same price as the old ones. They are suppose to have all the same sizes as before. I'm sure will see more sizes soon.

Well those of you thinking about them I can tell you since I replaced my AD08 with AD08R's two months ago I have been to 2 tracks and set personal best times. Lap times are down 1 to 2 seconds. Also I have won all of the Auto-X events since in my class, use to be close but I have won the last 4 events by over a 2 seconds.
