    Had RSRs before; they are really nice, but AD08R are in a totally different league, both dry and wet. RSRs are much cheaper though, and overall they may be better value for money

    No such trouble for me with the same wheels and tires. Local Discount Tire M&B’d them no questions asked, even the one I replaced after picking up a screw in the shoulder.
