Ekona Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Yup I'm not keen on the AD08s, but that's only because you can get the MPSS or 050A for the same money and they're better IMHO. That said, the AD08 is definitely better than 040, 452 or VUS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ioneabee Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 so which order of preference would you put that lot Dan - 'cos there is no question that the VUS are a million times better than the 040's (from physical experience) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glrnet Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 I think the guru would say 040's 452's VUS AD08's 50's MPSS 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spursmaddave Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 I think the guru would say 040's 452's VUS AD08's 50's MPSS I concur, thank you for calling me a guru. Sent from the Jaaaaaag at the golf club YAAAARRRRRRRPPPPPPPPPP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdg32 Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Running VUS on mine. Been very impressed so far, though would probably try the Eagle F1 next time (a bit cheaper than the MPSS). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Ferrari 355 360 and 430 all came out the factory with stones on? Doesn't mean a lot, just who paid the most to get their tyres approved as an OEM option to make money down the line. Porsche approved P Zeroes, 050A and PS2 for the 9x7 cars, and there's no way in hell you'd get me to put P Zeroes on a sports car! Luckily Michelin appear to be playing the money game right now and are getting the MPSS put on everything decent, which is a Very Good Thing Indeed. As far order in terms of quality, or at least what I'd consider putting on a car, Graham's got it spot-on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djb55 Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 (edited) I went for Avon Z33's for the rear off my Zed to match the Z33's on the front. Totally transformed the car, ive pushed it now a few times in wet and dry and they wont let go. The car has become a pleasure to drive instead off a white knuckle ride going round bends in the wet. They may be worth a look if your replacing tyres. Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk Edited October 19, 2013 by djb55 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djb55 Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 (edited) ATS were supposedly doing a deal on Avon tyres, might be worth giving them a ring, I did try them but they were always out of stock.

djb55 Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 What did you have on the rear before you matched the Avons? I had cheap budget Rotalla tyres , fitted by the previous owner, so I had a nice grippy front end with a nice slippy back end, driving in the wet was lets say interesting.

Simon+Kat Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 I had 4 fitted a couple of months back and found grip very much improved, as a result I think that, when I'm in the mood, I actually push harder than before I and have felt some slight pogo-ing. As if there isn't enough rebound damping. I dont think its my suspension, I think its the tyres, but as I say, it could be because im loading the sidewalls more round the bends. Overall though I'm very happy with them. They also make nice squealing noises Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, the AD08 is definitely better than 040, 452 or VUS. Bit of a late response, haven't been on for a while. You can get MPSS for about £25 per corner cheaper than AD08s, not that price is everything of course. I don't think there's a choice between the 050As and the AD08s, the AD08s are better in every way (apart from in really cold/snow maybe but I haven't tried that). Personally I haven't tried the MPSSs but they'd have to be excellent to compete, which they may well be from all the recommendations. If you're considering track use without spare track specific tyres though I'd highly recommend the AD08s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been looking at them lately They are and Ive not heard a bad word about them yet Yep, we have them on or MR2 Turbo that we use for track days, love them.
