This guy is trying to sell me tires with that name, ive searched and havent found anything on these tires. Do they exist or ever existed and has production stopped? I know there are 032 Rs but not 032 As

They are an R compound tire that you could run on the street. They are a noisy tire if you are planning to use them on the street

Thanks
I plan to put them on for autocrosses, do they need to be warmed up for optimal grip?
And do you sell them at the TireRack, couldnt find them? Whats a reasonable price for used examples with about 4/32 of tread left

^i had these Yokohoma Advan A032R on my rsx 225/50/17s all around and loved them for street driving, but for auto-x they are IMO far poorer than expected because you cannot get the needed heat into them.

Cold they are scary...even on street.

not to mention for street use they die around 5000km.

noise is also a consideration as they are very loud, which i dont mind, but many do.

Great lapping day tire, not so much for auto-x unless you get the "Soft" version of them

I also had some along time ago and I remember them being very loud. Almost sounds like a 4x4 truck with big mudder tires.
