thanks for info, interesting to compare. How Hankook RS2 can be sold as track tyres as on Camskill is beyond me. They are absolute rubbish, avoid at all costs.

The question was for AD08 rating, which is 180!

I wanted to know both so i could get an idea of the performance and application differences. Sorry if I confused the issue. The AD08 sounds like a good road tyre, the A048's must be awesome on the track. I currently use R888's mediums for road and track which are 100, but wanted to see if A048's could be a more econonical option for the future.
Again, sorry if i crashed the op's thread.

I had AD08's fitted today. They feel totally different to toyo's. I'm happy with the way they hold when they get warm. Looking forward to a track day now..... Just need to pluck up some courage.

+1 for Eagle F1s, which are a good all round tyre. Excellent dry grip and still very good in the wet too.
