Yoki AD08s are very good tires. Hankook RS-3 are every bit as good as AD08s in AX and DE for about 1/2 price. Also available in 17s.


Disclaimer: I am not a tire professional I just play one on TV. I also have been very fortunate to drive a fairly well sorted 2.5L Boxster that holds most of the track records in class around SoCal/Nevada.
