In which case, it might be time to decide between AD08Rs & PS4s. But I always associate Michelins with soggy sidewalls (the Yokos aren't that stiff by BS standards) so I'm leaning towards the former.
You may find this useful, Nick.

Thanks, Simon.

Pretty much confirms my theoretical analysis!

I like the Yokos on the NSX, but am conscious to try to avoid confirmation bias.

The PS4 are 91Y XL fronts and 95Y XL rears - can't get them much stiffer. Will have them on well before the next meet so will have some feedback by then i'd think.

You will like them UF. They are a world away from the MZ's

I dunno .. once you had heat in the MZ they were fine, better than the Falkens i had before but then i found the Falkens were better from cold. Tyre tech has moved on though so looking forward to a change .

Are Bridgestone still producing the RE002 in a 16" fitment? Been looking in the usual places and they don't seem to stock them at all.
My OCD demands the tyres all match, but my front RE002's have barely a 1000 miles on them!

I have read they are discontinued. One or two have mentioned on FB that they had just managed to buy the last available.

Sadly it looks like you are correct, and the replacement RE003 is 17" only.

Looks like I'll have to find a decent alternative or slap on another set of RE050.

I have a set of RE050As, but I fear that they might have gone out of date/rock hard by now.
