Matt1878 Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 The time is near and I'll be needing 4 new tyres soon. As a lot of you know my Glanza is my daily boost bus and my only car.I run Uniroyal rainsports currently and have on my last 3 starlets. Just thinking of taking a step up in performance to try a more 'grippy' tyre. I'd like to give R888's a try not I feel it's too early in the year to go for them as the weather is still pretty shit.I get the tyres at cost price so a set of 4 isn't really that expensive, what do you recommend!?Anyone run AD08's on their daily?

morgey Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 I dont use my starlet as a daily but i would say they would be fine in most conditions i dont worry about what weather i drive in in it and you can still lean on them fairly, albeit restrained slightly.I cant say if they'll be as good as your rs3 in the wet but they're not really aimed at wet weather driving as much as the your's are.

Matt1878 Posted January 20, 2015 Author Share Posted January 20, 2015 I doubt I'll find anything that's as good as the RS's in the wet really there fantastic. Think I'm gonna try ad08's.. I don't hammer it round 24/7 and I take it pretty easy in the wet anyway.Just not sure what else is on par or any better than the RS's as they are all Ive ever ran with T1R's being the exception and I found them awful!

MARC MOSS Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 I run them on the dc2 and they are great man,They are a track derived tyre which perform well in all situations Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Matt1878 Posted January 20, 2015 Author Share Posted January 20, 2015 I run them on the dc2 and they are great man,They are a track derived tyre which perform well in all situationsAwesome. It's between ad08's and R888's but I get the impression the ad08's will be a better choice for daily road use compared to what I imagine is a more all out track tyre with the 888's?.

jimmymac101 Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 I run ad08 on my ignis and I love them way better than my pradas I used to have and I love them! I'd recommend them to anyone James Quote Link to post Share on other sites
maddox710 Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 The uniroyal is a good shout anyway matt but ad08 are a great tyre even in wet conditions they ain't as bad as people make out Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I've never had anything but good things to say about uniroyals but I just fancy a change and the ad08's are better in the dry than the rainsports, I'm led to believe Quote Link to post Share on other sites

morgey Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 T1r's have now been replaced with a new design/tyre but it doesnt have as many sizes yet. Tbf its been needing a redesign for a while its a 10 year old tyre now. A lots changed in that time! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

morgey Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Yeah r1r's are more toyos equivalent to the ad08. I have heard the r1r is quite soft though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FMuscle Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 I'm thinking about A050-M for mine, for a few reasons. They come in my size, big advantage! Available in Aus, 1 of 2 countries where it's available(!). good grip on wet, but it never rains here anyways... Plus they look great. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mikey4410 Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 I have used r888s as dailys. there fine in normal conditions ie bit of rain etc but in standing water or heavy rain they are a bit dangerous and aquaplane so easy so be warned. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MARC MOSS Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Definately wouldn't use them on a starlet lol my mate tried them on his supercharged dc5 and it just wheelspan in 1-4th gear constantly Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mad Mike EP82 Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Used both yoko ad08r and Toyo r1r and r1rs are the better tyre but downside is they don't last very long lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
