AD08R being discontinued?

[Danith]

As above really. Someone mentioned on the FB pages (when I was on them) that AD08R are being replaced and so won't be available soon.

So before they do I want to try them after hearing they're pretty much one of the best all rounders for a track car/fast road.

Is this the case? If so, I might order a set in for when I eventually kill these ZZr's (@JB21 - the Avons still going strong! I must be far too much of a fanny on the tyres!?)

 

[RMDavis]

Really are a cracking tyre mate. Impressed me massively on track in my old Megane R26, and much better than Nankang NS2R's which I used previously! (although still a very good tyre)

 

[Danith]

Yeah every review pits them against the ns2r and every review says they're a different league. Not sure they'll be as sticky as the zzr but better for me so I don't have to buy rainsports for a wet day as the yokos can cope easily I hear

 

[JamesBryan]

I ran them for 2 or 3 years, very good all round tyre.

 

[Danith]

Think I'll invest. Book it in for a couple of months for when my bro gets back

 

[Danith]

This is when I wished I had a clio and not a civic

They are at 220 for a set in 195/50/15 brand new

Only money

 

[Danith]

Tyres make or break a track day too, thus making the cost of a td, vfm or waste of money. Man maths

Decent all rounder @Danith. Need a bit of heat on the road but no real issues, grip of a decent midrange tyre cold and really are good with heat on the road. My real suprise was how good they where in the damp/light rain on track, no drama whatsoever. For me they lacked on a dry track where they soon reached the limit of grip and started to squeal and understeer hence why i had them as road/wets.

Just got a pair of ZZR in 225/45/16 for the rear of the Celica. Looking forward to trying them at Aintree.

 

[imprezaworks]

Must admit I preferred rsr on track.

 

[Clio_fool]

The original question hasn't been answered, are they going out of production? Would seem like a silly mistake as they are very popular.

Bringing out another tyre?

 

[RIC172]

If they do get discontinued why not get Toyo T1-R instead ?

On second thoughts...

Ha I don't get the hate for them! I've had them on my first 328 sport and they were a billion times better than the budgets on before.
Track car no, but everyday I really don't get the hate apart from being a bit soft.

 

[Louis]

They'll surely replace them with something else just as good? Heard of people getting 4 tyres for 200 in 195/50/15. Makes me think about getting 4 new tyres on my new wheels and selling these wheels with tyres still on

 

[imprezaworks]

220. Date of tyres 44/17 iirc

Lol, I think it does depend on the car but they were truly dangerous on my cup even with 6mm of tread all round. I replaced them with continentals that only had 3mm of tread and all the handling issues were gone. Replaced those with Rainsports and they’ve been fine too. I’d never go near T1R’s again as they had dangerous tendencies in the wet and dry

Tyres really are the most influential part of a car's handling and totally user specific.
It was a long time ago and they only replaced sunnys!

Makes me lolz when I see someone spend a bomb on all the blingy bits and coils etc, then chucks a set of davantis on

 

[imprezaworks]

Davantis are a sister company of Pirelli.



Maybe.

Ha. Yeah they all are apparently. Like the proper brands cast offs or floor sweepings

The most cockney car vid ive seen since dick tv! ha.

That thing is quality. Love how it still sounds like a R32 from the back as sometimes turbo ruins the car's sound. The gearchange in it is savage!

Jordan Beets I think, used to sell them a lot last year. Was slightly cheaper than Ben too. He's on about doing it again in talks with suppliers.

I've not heard anything about them being stopped. Probably a similar rumour to the Dunlop DZ03G being no longer made, they're still readily available.
