Tyre comparison - short note on v105 vs ad08rs

[DeanB]

That's great news.

It makes me want some. I'll probably fit some when my 105s are finished.

The 105s are a decent all year round tyre but you're right, they aren't the grippiest.

Let us know what they are like in the cold, wet and damp would you please Will?

My feedback from the AD08RS on my car during the recent LitP weekend drives - Saturday Pootle, Saturday practice Ashbourne runs and Sunday morning Ashbourne run.

The lateral grip is a marked improvement over the V105s, especially when pushing on. Car feels more planted and haven't felt anywhere near the limit of grip (which I did feel sometimes with the V105s).

Still playing with pressures.  Started at 28 psi Front, 32 Rear as that's what they were set at by the tyre fitters; based on feel during first few hundred miles I dropped these to 27 front, 30 rear for LitP which I'm happy with, feels slightly more supple and less crashy over poor surfaces.  

May try 26/29 (which is what Lotus recommend) next, but when I ran these pressures on the V105s I did get quite frequent TMPS warnings when setting off and tyres were cold.
