I'm currently running 255/275 RE71s in stock 788M wheels, and happy with them. Recently bought a set of Titan 9.5/10.5 dedicated track wheels and looking for a wider rear tire setup for better grip/acceleration out of corners (better durability would be nice too).

Ideal would be 265-295/30-19 but not available in RE71s.

I've written off Cup2s (too expensive/wear fast) and, from what's left, I have narrowed my choices to:

RE71Rs in 255-285/30-19, or
Yoko AD08 in 255/35-19 and 295/30-19

I run stock suspension with camber plates -2.8 front and -1.8 rear. I'm beginner/intermediate level and run on dry only. I would be ok sacrificing a little grip for symmetrical pattern and longer durability.

I haven't found much here, or on the F80/F82 forum, about the AD08s. Any feedback from people tracking these? If dry grip over a 30min session on RE71R is a 10, where do AD08s rank?

I have been pretty happy with the slight oversteer on the 255/275 RE71 setup and would expect more neutral or slight understeer in 255/285. Would the 255 to 295 difference in the AD08s move the car much more noticeably to understeer?
