I was on 452's before the AD08s..... The 452s were great on the road but would over heat seriously on track and be like driving on jelly and at the Ring I had zero confidance in the car once they'd warmed up, which wasn't ideal driving round there lol.

Can't really compare the same tyre on a FWD and RWD, FWD is safe wheel drive so it doesn't matter as such. RWD just makes the choice harder, but I still stick with my choices

Can't recommend these highly enough I was running eagle f1s before which would break traction easily in 3rd since switching to the sessantas the grips unbelievable.

On my TVR I'm running 235/40/18 and 265/35/18 I believe.

Also to add these are very highly regarded in the BMW M scene, I was about to fit them to my e46 m3 after loads of different owner rave reviews then saw sence and sold it lol
