My apologies, I am only talking about the occasional track days market .

To be honest, I don't have first hand experience with the AD08 but from looking at various threads the PSS is about 0.2 slower than the AD08 on average for a 1 minute track, it has the advantage of going much faster in the wet. Although it chucks on track but it still give similar life to the AD08s for tracks.

The AD08R is apparently 2 seconds faster and that will certainly push me over to the Yokohama camp even if there is no improvement on wet performance, providing it gives good performance with both long and short runs.
