After running the Michelin Cup 2's for a few years I was keen to give these new Yokohama's a try. 0:00 - Intro 0:25 - At the track 1:11 - Hot Lap 3:12 - Summary & Thoughts

This is just brilliant, I was looking for a tire to replace my Cup2s with AD09 on my 718 GT4, first search and your video came up. Mine is manual as well and similar setup with camber. Much thanks for the comparison and review 👏🏻

Thanks for the video, the old AD08Rs were an amazing track/road tyre, looks like these are just as good.

Nice video Steve. What are the advans like on the street compared to the cup2’s when it comes to comfort and road noise?
@SteveReed333 ай бұрын
Very similar. Better in the wet with no real downside. I used AD08's in the past and they were extremely noisy but the AD09's aren't really any louder than the Cup 2's.
@druscanam Жыл бұрын
Nice to hear, also they should be much better on street and in the wet then the Cup 2 as well as last longer too.
@SteveReed33 Жыл бұрын
Yea I am struggling to see any kind of downside. Faster. Cheaper. Probably better in the wet and have significantly more tread depth. Will update with longer term observations after a few more track days.

@@SteveReed33 Just progrss and new technology. The pilot cup 2 was relased early 2014 so it's almost 10 years old like the AD08. Seems like it could be the new halo tyres. Similar to RS4 in wear, treadlife and grip but actutlly good in wet as well as not having that dangerous snap out oversteer or sudden chronic understeer when tyres are not up to temp, in wet, worn or heat cycled. A052 still seems best for low speed sprint events where a softer tyre that gets to temp quickly is ideal although the AD09 is not that far off seems to have better high speed stability, wear and road use. Also the new Bridgestone RE-71 RS that just replaced the RE-71R seems like a good one to try. The old RE-71R seemed very similar to the A052 being very soft fast working and fast wearing although the new RE-71RS seems to now sit between the A052 and the AD09 now having stiffer sidewalls better high speed stability and better wear and street/wet usage as well as like the AD09 now also switching to an Asymmetric pattern for an easy rotate at the track. Might be worth trying those next 👍
@SteveReed33 Жыл бұрын
Re71 RS are definitely the fastest tyre in this category but they don't make them in 20 inch sizes so not an option for me without downsizing wheels. I plan to try A052's next but they are more expensive and don't last very long so I feel like these AD09's have struck a good balance.

@SteveReed337 ай бұрын
I have done about 6-7 track days now plus 2 drift days and they are just starting to reach the wear indicators. Lap times have dropped slightly but are still outperforming Cup 2's. I think the only reason I will ever buy Cup 2's again will be to have on the car when I sell it.

@SteveReed3311 ай бұрын
I was running about 25PSI cold in the front and they handled that just fine. Can probably go even lower as the pyro was showing signs of overinflation at anything above 30PSI when hot. They handle the lower pressures much, much better than the Michelins do.

I was starting around 25/26psi in the front and they didn't roll over at all like the Michelins did. I am going back again this weekend and will take some measurements with the pyro to see how the temps go across the face. Aiming for 30/32psi when hot but will adjust if any measurements are out.

@mrmysterious600611 ай бұрын
I have always used yokohama. The new ad09 is a superb overall tyre and they perform well in wet conditions and last longer. One of the best advantages over the Michelin is the steering feel and off centre sharpness. I do not use michelins for this reason as the sidewalls are too soft which gives a numb steering response and when driving at the limit the tyre feels like it wants to roll over and feels squishy. And they are overpriced for what they deliver. I bet off the bat, you would have noticed the better steering.
