Default A048 substitute

Good evening Gentlemen,

I had been running AO48s as my daily and track tires for a couple seasons. I was putting a lot of miles on the car so I switched to AD08s which were great last season. Not as good as the A048s on the track but a nice compromise. I've recently changed jobs and the don't get to the drive the car other then Sundays now so i want to switch back tot he Ao48s. One problem, I'm having trouble locating the usual size i pick up which is 265/35/18 front and rear. I was wondering if you guys could suggest a different tire with similar characteristics to the Yokohama AO48.

Thanks in Advance

Chris

Hmmm maybe one of the Hankooks? Their road race compound tire would probably be similar.

How many miles were you getting on a set of A048s daily driving?
