Thanks for sharing, Adrian. Good info. I love the idea of a tire that wears like a street tire with better dry grip than an NT01. The question is whether it will take heat-cycle abuse like an NT01 or not.
Also, sorry if I missed it, but I assume you are running the 11" et44 EC-7? Effectively 11" et29 with the 15mm spacer? |

It does look like the A052's wear differently then the NT01. I don't recall any micro-chunking on the NT01. This is what my last set of rear NT01's looked like Last edited by Adrian g.; 10-09-2018 at 04:53 PM.. |

3 sessions and you're almost down to the wear bars??
Do you think theses tires would fit on Apex Arc8 wheels 9.5/10.5" front to rear? I'd like to try these tires too. .

Keep in mind they are only 6/32's new (vs. 8+ for most other 200 tw tires). My guess is that they'd fit your wheels but would be a bit pinched (especially the rears) since the tires have a 10" and 11.2" tread width respectively.

Pretty much sums it up as far as my thoughts on running these tires on a narrower wheel/s. |

Where did you get the tires at? How much did they run?
THank.

Nice feedback on the A052. I'm thinking these will be a nice upgrade from the AD08R I'm currently running.
Have you done any street driving on it? At 200TW, I'd assume it is streetable?

Thanks. I see it now on the right column under streetable track tires.
Just wanted to get an idea how much they run. Going to be tight on my 9.5/10.5 Arc 8 wheels. Hope it doesn't rub in back. .

I have around 150 street miles on these tires, dry weather only. They are quiet enough to where I forgot they were on the car. And, short life aside I think these tires are very usable on the street. But I have no idea I how they would behave in the wet/rain.

For a 10" wide wheel, assuming you want to stay with the A052 tire, I would recommend 265/35/18 as it will be properly supported. |

With 11" front fitment is going to be even tougher. In rear I recommend 11 et28 with a 295/30/18 A052. That's the spec I run with E88's in the rear (with 265/35/18 A052 in the front).

I want to try these tires but they're a bit pricey!
TireRack has the A048 295 on killer deal now. .

Completely different tire. The a048 is very old compared to the a052. A048 was very much a R compound from back in the day - high grip and it will need to warm up before it will work. It will not last as long as a A052.

Thanks ZK.
Has anyone tried the 295/35-18 in back? You guys think I'll rub on APEX 10.5 x 18 wheels with et27? Lowered on coilovers. .
