Yep, happy with those. Handling balance much more neutral, very grippy, nothing in ride or handling adversely affected as far as I can tell, scarcity and cost of AD07 fronts avoided. And looks quite nice, I think. thumbup

Lots of people going down the 7" fronts/205 AD08 option these days due to the ridiculous cost of AD07s.
Bonus is the wheels look great too smile

Yep. The tyres-pneus-online.co.uk and yokoracing.fr sites still have the AD07 LTS fronts up for about 80-85 quid, but the regular UK suppliers are all £140-£160, and I think you have to expect that you will usually get stung for the latter. And there have been times they've just been like rocking-horse poo, which is no good if you really need to replace them immediately. And it's an old tyre pattern now. The tyres on the old alloys were much lower on tread than I usually like to run them, so it's not a fair comparison, but the grip on AD08Rs all round and 205 section ones at the front is very impressive.
