Black Gold interesting that you think of the AD08 as a track tire that can be used on the street. My perception, just perception, is that the Yokohama marketing in Japan is more along the lines of a street tire that can be used on the track. Based on your experience with the tire do you have any concerns with my use which is 99% street?
I don’t I think it’s a great tire.

If you don’t mind the reduced tread wear and road noise, the better steering feel from a stiffer sidewall and more grip to me feels great on the street.

I would say the tire is best suited for someone who does a lot of hpde and auto x events and or likes a performance tire on the street.

True racing tires like an r comp are a little harder to drive on as the limits are higher and they don’t break away quite as progressively. At least in my experience.

An ad08r is a perfect weekend track warrior tire imo.
