I wouldnt put them on something thats used everyday though, the roadnoise on some surfaces is pretty bad and I wouldnt fancy em in very wet conditions.


Say whaaaat?

I ran them year round, wet dry hot freezing.

In moderate rain I could launch the car on low boost (10psi) and have the rear wheels maintain grip through first and second no problem.

AD08 are awesome in the wet :mrgreen:


From what I've read, the AD08's should be pretty decent in the wet, but will struggle in very cold temps. Have you used them when it's been near freezing?

Yep, if you check the tyre specs they are rated down to -10c.

Over 5 years and plenty of different rubber, they were the only tyre which allowed the car to be mobile in the snow :)
