Yokohama ADO8Rs back in stock

Postby chefie » Tue Aug 30, 2016 9:46 pm

I ordered a set of 205/50/15 Ado8Rs in july and stock arrived today

$195 each at Bob Jane and Yoki promotion of 4 for price of 3 is great deal

Promotion ends tomorrow under $150 a corner for these tyres is a bargain

How are you finding the nitto's as daily tyres, in the wet, from cold and noise levels?

I have dríven a bit on my nt01's, not sure if I could put up with the howl and growl they make.

Dailying the tyres is too ez for me. I can bare the noise, and in fact I kind of like it and most the times you can barely hear it due to the exhaust.

Theyre so good in the wet! I thought I would be sliding all over but I've got total control and grip in the wet.

I havent taken em to the track just yet, but will be in 2 weeks.

I have a set of Nt01 on 15 x 8 6ul for track tyres, the yokis are to and from track and practice when needed, the nittos at 50% would be scary in the wet and need temperature to work

Nittos are great track entry tyre , Not for road or insurance

I think these will go on my wishlist.

I need better tyres. Its been a long time since I had these sort of tyres fitted to Patchy. I used to love the old Falken 215's & 615's but I read things have improved significantly since then. different Era, Different generation of tyres.
