Goodyear eagle f1 asymmetric3 I'd say out of that list.

the shreksta 18 December 2017 04:42 PM

ad08r any good?

sunny1989 18 December 2017 06:44 PM

Love the AD08R, ran them throughout this year on my classic but only in fair weather. They aren't the best in these road conditions.

Ran Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta's for the rest of the time.

been looking at the sessantas aswell, very reasonably priced on camskill

I'd certainly recommend them for fast road use, failing that the eagle F1's are a good tyre too.

I've got sessanta and rate them highly but I'm sure I read that they changed them and they weren't as good, pilot super sports are excellent too

You won’t be disappointed with the AD08R. Best tyre I’ve had so far on a Newage scooby. I’m trying out 595rsr Now on my Blob and they seem pretty decent aswell.

I looked at them and a quick Google search led me to believe they perhaps were not road legal

slo7899 20 December 2017 01:05 PM

Definitely 100% road legal as they are E marked. ��

I have been using them for a year now....Good tyres mate:thumb:,excellent in the dry,but watch them under acceleration in the wet when cornering as they can catch you out....SJ.
