Agree gav I'm not bothered by the small radius change either way.

I'm looking at Yokohama advan neova AD08's all round any opinions on if these are useable as a street / track day tire in the uk?

Or in honesty is it best to stick to a plain road tire?
I've got those on the NSX. Cracking tyre!

I've yet to try them in the wet (I bet they don't like standing water, but little does on a mid-engine) and they'll be NFU in the snow.

They are very sticky. Even when cold. They're not long for this world...

I've tried contis, goodyears, michelins and every other pretty much available (ask Paul J)

And from generally 5000 miles on each set Michelin are the best outright and conti's a close second, i've always found bridgestones fantastic in the dry, but not really anymore than Ok in the wet.
Which Michelins? and can Costco supply.?

Costco can supply they were pilot sport ps2.

They were great on track showing minimal wear but also great in the wet too!
