Great tires but $$$$, depending on your needs they might be the best or not best solution, read the tire rack and other reviews before deciding

If you wish you could post a bit more info so we can help you make the right decision.

Intended use as in street, track, autocross, mountain or canyon runs, all year use, summer or 3 season use, miles you want to get from them, sizes, budget, etc....

A lot of things to consider when picking the tires that will best fit your needs.

They are great tires and may be the best or not a great choice for your particular situation.

It's going on the stock rims and it will be street, mountain run, autox, an maybe some track days. Mileage Im not worried about. I like the stock potenzas they just reach 30k on them it's impressive that they lasted this long since i have a heavy foot.
Size is going to be 205/45/17 on stock suspension

Heavy foot and 30k on stock tires? Lol...

I barely got 14.5k out of the stock tires.

Wow that's not much. Well I guess I got lots of mileage cause of highway driving going to work 100m a day

Ah, gotcha. That would definitely make a difference. Our FiST is the wife's daily and I rip on it on the weekends. I also did one autocross and a weekend at VIR full on those tires, which I am sure reduced my overall mileage significantly.

quick question on millage, so you say your up to 30,000 hows your car holding up any major changes or is it as good as you first got it?
thanx

 

[iX-Grimjow-Xi]

No changes its still good like I got it just faster now.

I ran ado8s in the past but not the r version.I loved them. Had better turn in than other street tires I tried imo. I'd buy again.

I have a set of 215/40x17 AD08R's on 17x8 et 48 TD's. I really like the tires - turn in response and dry grip are excellent. Wet, they're not very good. I won't buy another set of these tires though in this size. Suggested pressure for maximum grip is 32 psi HOT. That's just not enough pressure for the street. I've bent 3 wheels on the street which I've replaced. If I was to do it again, I'd go with 15 or 16's with say the RE-71R's in a higher profile.

Yea i wouldnt run them at low psi in the streets

 

[ericr]

At higher PSI, they feel kinda greasy. For the track at lower psi, they're great - for the street, I'd look elsewhere.

I just got them about 1k miles ago and what a tire! They are 80-85% of a michelin pilot sport for 60-65% of the price. I put 215/35s on my stock 17s. Wider contact patch and no sacrifice in comfort. Get them if this is your price range and use of the tire.
