It's good to hear that the RS3s have good turn in and don't get too greasy and last the distance.

Can I ask, have you tried the new AD08R compound? Reviews on the Yokohama website suggest that it's 1-3 seconds faster in the dry on a 60-80s lap time. I'm wondering if this will make it much more comparable to the RS3s as well.


i don't have any personal experience from compound changes.. Most people that I know that have used both the Dunlop Star Spec or RS-3 compounds have liked both versions. It's been a long time since I have seen a tire get WORSE with a new compound... but by the same token the new compound seems to be largely similar to the previous version, typically improving one attritbute in some way. I would not expect that a new compound would get more than 1 second faster for a lap..well. unless the previous compound was that bad...
