Nissan R33 GTST 2.5 turbo RWD Tire Review Highlights

Writing about the Yokohama ADVAN Neova AD08RS given 73% (255-35-18-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 10000 spirited miles
Been on 6 track day events this year with amazing results in good weather. Still a lot of life in the tires left.

Also did over 10000km this year on these tires, mountain roads, citys, highways. (road trips) daily driving.

Great tire in dry warm conditions, as soon as its cold or wet you will have problems with grip, even on not so powerful cars.
Braking distance in the rain is really bad, you just slide.
Out of corners you need to expect to oversteer, if you put your foot down to early.

235/40/18 and 245/40/18 (rear)

Bought these tires 5yrs ago (due for renewal now though) after coming from using the Kuhmo ecta sport and falken FK451's.

They were the only brand avialable at the time. So i trusted them after seeing so much of the company sponsoring cars at drifting events.

The MA35 is a summer tire which i was a little unsure about as i use the car all year round as a weekend blaster and it lives outside. During the warm months the tire is planted offering plenty of grip, predictable, comfort- hard to tell on coilovers, road noise no more than previous brands mentioned. It's a loud car any way. During colder months i think it can become a hard tire so needs a bit of heat in it to help it work...

In the wet they do fine aswell plenty of grooves to expel water. Until obviously getting down to the wear markers where im at now on the rear. They easliy spin up in 3rd when rolling and planting it reaching full boost. The roads do get greasy so no tire will grip. Also operating temps will have an effect. Combination of everthing once worn makes them pretty useless, but when dry again still really good and grippy.

Note: The tires are 5 yrs old the fronts have cracks on the outer tread pattern- rubbers going off. The rears are fine no cracks but are worn out, maybe they get to temp quicker and don't dry out?

I would buy again depending on price (£470 for four last time). Currently looking at cost of these, kuhmos and falkens again to do all four.

Used the Kuhmos on the Nurburgring a few years ago and once the pressures were adjusted t oallow for expansion it was a great tire with plenty of grip-which makes me want to go back to that brand on past harsh use on track.

Car is @420bhp rwd only, no traction control or fancy stuff. Just raw driving.

Driving on track for 0 spirited miles
i bought a pair of these brand new for my front wheels only one day before a open pit track day at keevil airfield 22 oct 2011

Im running 408 bhp and they were not too bad!
turning in at high speeds i got a tiny bit of understeer but when they warmed up they got much better

ive got bridgestone potenza's (275/35/19) on the rears and they are awesome and the coopers on the front didnt let me down to be fair

i would get these again but only at the same kinda price i paid
(private ebay ad £150 the pair brand new delivered)

at the normal price from regular tire dealers id probably try another brand instead.. thats not bad mouthing the coopers mind - just why not not shop around and try them all..

the weather was 100% dry on my track day so i dont know what they are like in the wet etc

id give them: 7/10
