I need some new tyres and have been using pilot sports 3 which are to soft and I have ruined the outside edge of them.
Are Rainsport 3 any good in the dry or can you suggest anything else. They need to be 1a so no ad08r 888 etc

1a Covers the Goodyear Eagle Assymetrics, but if you're burning out PS3's then you'll likely be no better off.

Yoko Paradas, in my experience, need to be red hot to even grip on the road, so maybe an idea?

This has happened after 2 events and being standard I can't add camber think it would probably happen to most tyres tbf

If PS3s are doing that forget about rainsport 3s. Bridgestone potenzas re040/050 have a stiff sidewall so will reduce the above wear, and if you can get run flats in your size even better....

If you can't find any AD08 in 16''
The next best tyre is the Pirelli p zero Nero in extra load spec, they have just as stiffer sidewall as a ad08 and are 220 tread wear

Sorry I don't have any experience of List 1A tyres...
If I was looking for a tyre advantage then I would look at the reviews for some of the more obscure tyres - something like the Cooper Zeon CS Sport.
What about the Kumho range? I used to swear by the Kumho Ecsta V700 until it became a List 1C tyre - maybe there is something in the Kumho range that would suit?

I've used Kumho KU39 on my type R and they where very good for the money.
