The A052 needs more negative camber to work - while the stiff sidewalls of the AD09 helps it cope better with running street alignments on the track. If this was retested with -3 degrees front and back I firmly believe we'd see a larger time gap between the two tyres.

For a single time-focused lap the A052s are faster, but for longevity the AD09s last much longer I found. On wet conditions the AD09s grip pretty well too.

The 125d doesn't show the massive difference between the two tyres because of the chassis limit. The A052 is basically the same as the A050 with poorer wear characteristics. We tested the two tyres at Sydney Motorsport Park in a time attack Evo and there was a 2.2 second difference between them with a pro driver.

@nesmio7378 7 ай бұрын

Sorry, not really clear - which tyre was faster in your test? Would you say the A050 is a better tyre than a A052 as far as raw performance is concerned then?

@sodazman 7 ай бұрын

@@nesmio7378 A050 is better than A052 in terms of endurance but peak grip levels are similar. The A052 drops off sharply in performance after a few hot laps but the A050 doesn't.

Definitely available in 15” and not much between them in price. I’m considering the two in 205/50r15. $215 AD09 $260 A052 (Australian dollars) Looks like the A052 have more tread though which may bring them even closer in price still.

Interesting video. Seems like maybe the AO52 didn't perform optimally, and could have been quicker with more negative camber and some coilover tweaking? I'm trying to decide on some tyres for a ring trip & as a wet option on trackdays alongside slicks. My car's set up for slicks with a lot of negative camber though. Seems like the AO52 would work well with this setup, but what about the AD09? Am I going to struggle to get the tyre flat to the ground with so much neg camber?

@DarksideDevelopments Жыл бұрын

I think you would be happy with either. We still use the A052 as our tyre of choice on our race cars, as these do perform slightly better, but the AD09s are really not far behind and very good for the price. The AD09s are also better suited to the road if you are driving their on them

@chrispetty5058 Жыл бұрын

Can I ask what hot pressures you were targeting on the AD09’s? I previously ran the RT660’s, I like that these are an a-symmetric tire because they can be moved around instead of just front to back.

Awesome. Ryan good one at 5:00 LMAO 🤣 6:30 this is exactly the problem i had with my a052 to finding the right air pressure to have even temp numbers from inside to outside. Without running ridiclous camber Also did i miss what tire sizes u were testing? I am suprised the ad09 are a abit more noisy. It sounds like the ad09 will be good contender for your wet track sessions on your TCR cars. If the AD09 would last longer than the A052 this would be the perfect tire for me. Both have TW200. Which i think is rly too optimistic for the A052 Would love to see another comparison to the bridgestone potenza race tires vs the ad09
