Yokohama AD08 R recommendations
Anyone have experience with the new Yokohama AD08 R? Considering it for combo daily driver/track use on a 991 Carrera S, as a more track-friendly alternative to the Michelin Super Sport.

On the street, you wouldn't be able to tell the difference but get on the track and you will notice that the ad08's are better right away. After 2 to 3 laps the pss will get greasy whereas the ad08 will continue to grip lap after lap.

How are they in chillier and wet conditions vs PSS? I'm considering going with them next. I'm also a little worried they might be a tad wide in the rear if I go 295/30/19

Are you sure about narrower? In the other thread, everyone said the Yokos are slightly wider. If narrower, then I'll try them when I need a set of tires for sure.

My narrower comment was based on tirerack info regarding tread width. ad08Rs = 11" and PSS = 11.5" All other dimensions are the same.

Why not just get dedicated track wheels/tires?

My understanding is that Manufacturer dimensions are helpful but not necessarily consistent across brands. Despite the dimensions that you point out above, my experience has been that AD08's run wider and more square than the PSS (or any other tire). I do however think the PSS is a little wider towards the bead due to the larger rim protector built into the design. I know you have had both tires. Don't you agree that the AD08 seems to be wider than the PSS at the shoulder/tread width in the real world?

Edit: Just saw your pics. Your car is definitely lower than mine. Wow that stance is so right Here's how close mine is. I'd love your opinion if you think the AD08s will work:

That plastic nub can easily be dremeled off. The bigger concern is the metal fender towards the front of the car. Aggressive fitments will contact the metal at about 10:00 on the drivers side and 2:00 passenger side. When IND works the rear fenders for wider wheel fitment this is the area that they address. Not the top (12:00) as some people assume.
