Default How long before Advan AD08 hardens

Been using AD08's for a year now with about 30k kms for daily driving and am starting to notice the grip falling off a fair bit.

Was wondering if other AD08 users could share their experience with regard to daily driving and how quickly the tyres hardened in terms of life span or mileage.

It really comes down to the number of heat cycles you have on the tires. I would think this tire would actually wear out before you get to that point.

Hi Jim, i've still got about 30% visually but the grip ia definitely down. Life is about 1yr 3mths. Haven't done much track work either.

Might probably explain why they hardened up. Did the same kind of mileage with an earlier set but as there was more track time, I could attribute the lack of grip to the tyre being pretty much bald.
