AD08R's

Everywhere that sells these have 2 sets of this tyre, 1 dearer than the other but the exact same details on all the sites. Don't suppose either of you know why there is a dearer set? Guessing 1 set is softer than the other but no site explains this.

Cheers

One is probably the old AD08 and the more expensive is the AD08R?
 
That must be a recent addition, just checked and there's now two options in my size too.

I wouldn't £15 just for Rim protection, oh and they're noisier too
 
Semi slicks.
If I'm using them on a dry track, with a spare set of wheels to take me home, is there any reason I can't keep using them until they're almost bald? I assume the performance might drop off due to less movement within the rubber but I don't personally know.
 
set of 4 of them is something like £300 in my 16" size, but I went with a cheaper option at £220 for some Michelins :p

I remember my polo was £120 for a set of whatever you wanted, Pirelli, Goodyear, Michelin..... 14" :D
 
I need new tyres for my VTEC Mobile, currently I've some malasian crap on and it spins and understeers like mad in the wet...

From a bit of reading I did yesterday, I found these:
-Kumho Ecsta HS51
-Toyo Proxes CF2
-Continental ContiPremiumContact 5 Continental ContiPremiumContact 5 (a bit outside the budget)

Size: 195/55 R16

They're for a Civic 1.6 Sport, so nothing powerful neither fast. I just want a bit more grip in the wet and whilst at it something a bit quieter. I don't mind sacrificing the longevity for better grip though. :) Around £50 (+/- £10) per tyre sounds about right?

Looks like I've the RainSport 3 at the back, the front's are Mayrun MR500 and the sizes are 205/55. Judging by the tread, I could get away with just buying 2 more rainsport 3's for the front. :p
 
PS4S rears seem to have better rim than the CSC6.

Had a tyre give up on me on the drive down to Southend last night and need a new tyre ASAP this morning. Kwik Fit stock one in the size I need but it's not a tyre I'd want.

Is there any easy way to find if someone has a tyre I want in the right size without phoning everyone in the area?
 
Had my f1 Eagle asymmetric 2s for about 14months now and still a couple mm tread left, they are needing changing though due to lots of bits of steel being stuck in them (from work). Loved them for the first 6 months then noticed grip started to reduce. Longevity of these have been amazing compared to my continentals though. Not sure what to buy and if to go for these again.
