Best Tyres for the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VI GSR

I have these fitted on my Tommi Makinen Edition running 370hp. These tyres are phenomenal, the grip is enormous and the direct feel from the steel inserts in the sidewalls means you can really point the car through the apex with astonishing precision. These tires have so much grip that it's actually scary and maybe not as fun to drive on them if you like a car to be quite playful. These are extreme road legal track tires so it's hard to imagine you will go near their limits on the street. If you do, you will be cornering at outrageous speeds. They are very progressive on the limit and are not snappy on the edge of the grip limit. They don't go off when very hot either. Wet weather they are actually very decent although I cannot judge them in standing water yet, only a wet surface. Tire noise is acceptable, however you don't buy tires like these if you are worried about noise levels. The jurry is still out on wear rate, but I would assume they are not going to last a lengthy amount of time if you are driving hard and on the limit. That being said, I could not imagine a street legal tire that does a better job for the price for sheer outright grip in dry conditions. I certainly don't think a the more expensive Michelin cup tire is any better, but you pay a lot more for them. I recommend giving the AD08R a try if you are after extreme grip and care for nothing else but going ballistic.

A pretty decent set of mid-range tyres, would recommend these for anyone that is not going to blast around the track. They have more than taken a fair bit of test punishment on my Evo (4WD), not sure how they would be on a 2WD though.

Having come from the old F1 Asymmetrics to the newer Asymmetric 2, my Evo VI now rides like a BMW in terms of softness on the rough stuff.
Dry cornering grip has improved over the old Asymmetrics and it's quite noticable in a 400bhp machine.
Road noise is definately improved.
Steering is more direct and lighter and has quite a lot of feedback.
These work beautifully with AYC equipped machines and the braking on my Brembo & Carbotech drilled brakes is extremely good (its was amazing before:), the braking distance has imporoved quite a bit.
All i'll say about wet driving on the Evo VI with the Assy 2's is, it's the same as the dry, maximum grip with no understeer and predictable oversteer (AYC sorts this anyway but x2 with the Assy 2's).
Wear hasn't been an issue at all (3k Kms).
The rolling resistance of these tyres is second to none. Acceleration has improved as has overall ride at higher speeds. Also using less fuel due to the lower rolling resistance.
Can these babies get any better
Highly, Highly recommended, especially if you have an Evo.
