brandon - can you elaborate a little on the difference between the AD08s and the Advan Sports? The AD08s look more aggressive, but they have a lower speed rating. Similar wear ratings. Can anyone comment on first hand experience with these tires?

Tires go on the M3 tomorrow - I'll be able to give you a first hand opinion after the weekend.

I believe the sports have a higher weight tolerance, and have a different rubber compound being used in about 75% of the tire. The sport is also the top of the line tire by Yokohama.

The new AD08 is actually more of an extreme driving tire with super soft rubber, that is competing against the Bridgestone RE-11's

It's a bit difficult to compare since they are in different classes. TireRack clasisfies the AD08as am "Extreme Performance Summer" tire while the PS2 is a "Max Performance Summer" tire. I've had PS2s on both e46 and e92 M3s and have been very pleased in the past - but am looking forward to pushing the AD08s in the near future to see how they perform.

Here's a quick video on the AD08s from Yokohama:



The AD08 tires are a bit on on the soft side for maximum grip, you trade a bit of longevity for top performance.

Can you list sizes, specs, and pricing so I don't have to go to Yokohama's website?

...

Never mind... just went to TireRack's web site and discovered the AD07. AD08, and the A048 don't come in a lot of complimentarty sizes for staggering. Is Yokohamo's product/marketing department stuck in the 80's?

If this is what is defined as 80's, then yes you are correct

Just wanted to say the AD08 is one of the best tires you can get at any price, and compared to pilot sport cups they are so much cheaper, yet perform nearly the same. and they completely blow the PS2 out of the water.
