I have a set on back order from Camskill (about 3 weeks now). They had the fronts but it seems the rears were the problem. Black Circles also said the rears were on back order.

If nothing comes in the next 3 months then I'll have to think of something else...

I got a full set of 17s from demon tweeks a couple of weeks ago. Must have been lucky! Liking them so far, but not had chance to really push them. The ride is less crashy than the bridgestones, but without the soft turn-in feel of GSD3s, and they feel less 'squrimy' under load round roundabouts, even far away from the limit. Not got to their limits yet though.

And they seemed to cope with a very wet A30 with no problems too.

Cheese spread would be better than the standard Bridgestones, they really are poor tyres unless mine are that old that they just need replacing due to age rather than wear.

I found them better than GSD3s, except in the cold/wet. Stiffer sidewalls and they didn't overheat as easily on track. But they are 10 year old tyres, so there must be new technology involved by now. Anyway, back to the subject, i knew AD08Rs weren't that common, but didn't realise how short the supply was. None of my usual suppliers could get the rears before April/May but Demon Tweeks sent me a set within 2 days.
