Yes, you will almost certainly notice a difference. I would strongly recommend using four tires of the same model, and not mixing the ES100 with the AD08. Here's why.I've decided to go with the Yokohama ADVAN Neova AD08 for the rear tires.
Right now my front tires are pretty new (9/10). They are Yokohama AVS ES100s, which TireRack classifies as "Ultra High Performance Summer".
Should I go ahead and replace the fronts with the ADVAN Neova AD08 so they match the rears? Will I notice much of a difference? Thanks.
Yes. Of course, any recommended pressure is a starting point, and you can vary from there (preferably in 2 psi increments) to adjust for ride comfort, handling, etc. But that's where I'd start.My question is: should the AD08's be inflated to 33/40 like the OEM A022's?
Just installed the AD08 as well. Simply amazing tires.Got the AD08s installed yesterday. Amazing grip and handling. Much better and quieter than my previous AVS ES100s.
Figured I would give a post a shot. A long time has passed. Entering 2022 - what tires are 1991 nsx owners with originals rims using these days (15in front and 16in back)? Tirerack has a very small selection..... Any and all help appreciated.
"Best" is subjective and depends on your usage case. Best all-around in the 15/16 sizes is the Continental ECS. It's very highly rated in both wet and dry conditions, including by one of our long-time members @stuntman.
If you are a warm weather only driver on dry roads, then it's probably a tie between the Dunlop DZ III and the Falken RT660. Both are top-level extreme performance tires, but not really for wet weather.
I just introduced Gunther Werk's to the Conti ExtremeContact SPORT tire. They are now using it on their ~$750K Speedster. I'm sure it's good enough for the NSX![]()
Thought I would piggyback on this thread instead of starting a new one.
A friend suggested the Yokahama ADVAN Fleva V701 after installing a set on his car (not-nsx) and they seem a bit sportier than the Continentals but they aren't listed as options for our cars because the front tire is only V speed rated (149mph) whereas we should have W rated (168mph).
They are available in OEM sizing (205/50/15 and 225/50/16).
If we aren't planning on going over 150, which I'm not sure my 92 could even do without a runway or stretch of open/flat/empty highway, is it ok to run this tire?
The load rating, wheel width, pressure, etc. are all the same as the Continental. Tire Rack gave me a thumbs up on them as long as I didn't plan on cresting 149mph but wanted to see what the forum thought.
