Hey all, so I started this thread about the AD09 a year back, and I have some updates. I have a year and 6.5 track days on these tires. Last year I ran them with an alignment issue I didn't catch, which lead to lower than expected corner grip, and me trying to compensate with too low hot pressures. I ran them down to 30psi hot in a few sessions at Pitt Race.
While the lower pressures helped get better grip, it also caused the outside shoulder to get excessively torn up.
I was at VIR last weekend for a full weekend event, and I loved the tire after fixing the alignment. It had very good grip, and more in reserve for when I enter into a corner too hot. Also gripped well at 34 all the up to 38 PSI. My opinion of the tire took a 180 turn after getting the alignment fixed. I will be getting another set.
The shoulders are now pretty torn up, so I need a new front set at least, as the rears are still ok. ~5000 street miles and 6.5 track days on these. Wear on center is quite good still, just barely on the wear bars.
But what do you think? Can I get 1 more track day on these before I see cords?
