sorry I forgot to add im on v70 k11, but the ado8 react much the same as the kumos, the first couple of laps are a bit fluffy, I always aim for 26/28, however coombe wise you will find the n/s/f tyre will need to be softer than the o/s. same with the rear. If it rains your looking at roughly a 5-6 psi increase in cold pressures with soft dampers, I even tend to disconnect my front drop links.
I have tried many track tyres costing me literally hundreds
ad08
888
v70
michy sa00
ive not tried nankangs at all, trying to get some federal fz201 but I need rear arch work to accommodate the sizes offered.
the kumos so far for me have been by far the best tyre, ask adam b if you like, the sheer amount of grip cold is absolutely amazing, and they get better with heat, saying that I did maybe 60 laps at cadwell and trashed 500 quids worth of kumos but they were very consistent and progressive.
The 888s and the ad08 were very similar I feel, however the main difference was whilst trying to heat up the 888s there are many fluffy periods which is entertaining but can catch you out hence why I was in the tyres at croft. saying that you can defo push the toyos harder than the ad08 but the yoko seem to wear better.
The sa00 for those who are going to fcs you can see for yourself, a "proper" tyre but at 320 a pair they should be.
Also if any1 wants some 17s Dunlop slicks I can bring them to fcs for a sum of £100..
