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.

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

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