Toyo Proxes R888 Vs Yokohama Neova AD08

One of these tire sets would most definitely be the next set chosen for my clk55 amg.

Which one would u guys choose based on grip, wet and dry performance, everyday use, how long will it last and value for price.

Experiences shared from you guys who have already tried either one or both of these tires are very much appreciated as it would make it a lot easier to choose a set.

Thanks

I think these are the two best tires on the market today to help our cars use most of the whp they put without too much loss in wheel spin.

depends on the weather
the R888 will offer more dry grip. It will also be horribly loud, not very good in the wet and will wear very fast. If you are looking for a tire to drive on the street the AD08 is a better choice. If you are looking for a track tire that you can drive to the event the R888 would be a marginally better choice.

as far as "the best choice for your car" you may want to look elsewhere ...

here's a quick list of the top 4 extreme performance tires on the market
BF Goodrich G-Force Rival
Dunlop Direzza Z2
Bridgstone Potenza RE11A
Yokohama ADVAN Neova AD08R
