Not the best day for us today, customer came and picked up the car at 10.30am this morning. Went though everything and it was all good and happy.

Had a call from him at around 12, saying 2 of the AD08 on the passenger side blew up on the M25 Junction 9 so we went there with his set of Rota Fighter with A048 there to swap the wheels over for them.

First time we ever seen anything like this on the AD08, will upload some photo on monday to show you how bad they are. Wondering if Yokohama will do anything with it, they will probably say something hit the tyres on the motorway....

Not happy!

But the car pull like crazy though, it feel like the front is ready to take off and it had so much torque around the mid range

Yes very Odd, we have sold 1000s of AD08 and never had any problem apart from Great review. I don't understand how the tyres just blew up, I reckon something might have cut the tyres up on the Motorway.

Is it the S2000 on this thread, customer just came and pick up this morning.

I have used lots of them - never had a problem. Only time I have had 2 tyres blow on the same side was when I went over a filter kerb on a motorway leaving my exit a little too late and having to push in. Clearly my fault and embarrassing. These tyres do not just blow up without something happening and if both on the same side then even more persuasive that the car has hit something.

What size have you got? I want to get him a new set as I feel really sorry for it as he should be going home with a smile on his face not sitting on the hard shoulder and being pissed.

So let me know the size and pm me how much you want for it and if he still want to go back to ad08 and I will pay for this,
