Yoko A008 race tire

[Celica RZ]

how do you guys feel about these tires?

[nxracer]

A few years ago they were the tire to beat, wait you may be talking about "the" A008 street tire not the A008R, A008RS, or A008RSII. I don't think Yokohama makes the good ones anymore so even if you find a set they are probably hard from sitting around.

[Celica RZ]

yeah, I was referring to the A008R. if they're hard can't you heat treat em or something to make em soft again? They've never been run...

[nxracer]

Nope once dead, allways dead.

A new A032 or Kumho V700 wil be much better.

thanks for the advice!

Where do you see the 008R available at? I was looking to pick up a set for nostalgic purposes.....

I was wondering that too.

As far as I know the only A008 race tire still in production is the A008 SRF. It's the spec tire for SpecRacer Ford and they only come in 185/60ZR13 and 205/60ZR13

sorry about the late reply, they were available on ebay, although I think bidding is over
