Got AD-07s :D

Nikhilb2008 · 9th December 2008, 15:52

Yes. Yes. I know it's overkill for an NHC Vtec. But as a friend said, if I dont go for it, who will? If me being a Yoko dealer doesnt experiment with such expensive tyres, who will?

Also, spoke to couple of people who had/have AD-07s.Binz, Rahul on the forum. Raj Hingorani(who also said these are awesome and he got 45k out of them before he changed to A048s and there was still some life left in them!!).

The rubber surface seems very different to a normal tyre. It isnt the usual soft rubber. It feels different.
Size is 195/60-14. Will be fitted tomorrow.

Price: Dont ask. Being a dealer, I got a special rate from Yokohama directly.

I will also get free balancing, alignment, free nitrogen.

Congrats.
Now better get a set of coilovers for the NHC and come over for a track day.

Nikhilb2008 · 9th December 2008, 15:57

I know. Performance mods for the NHC are next on the list.

Everyone in Banaglore is an expert but when I start a thread no one bothers to help!

Wow Nikhil the tyres look awesome

Will look forward to reading your views on them

Tejas@perioimpl · 9th December 2008, 16:11

Nice! How about a great set of alloys as well? Post pics once fitted, specially from the back perspective.

VJ_MAVRICK · 9th December 2008, 16:13

Hey Nikhil ! Those are nice shoes for your NHC's feet and definitely there are many people who will help you buddy when you plan to modify your ride. Have a good and safe one

I would rather say congratulations for such a wonderful career with hidden perks

mclaren1885 · 9th December 2008, 16:18

Congratulations Nikhil. Like I was mentioning to you before these tires will slow you down incredibly. So better get going on the engine front if you want to see what these tires are capable off. If you get bored of them, you know whom to approach to get rid of these tires

Haha. Sure man. Though these exact same tyres will be fitted to another T-BHPians ride tomorrow if the company doesnt have more in stock.

Yes, karthik told me about it. All of you must pay recommendation fees to v1p3r & myself

Hehe. As far as I know T-BHP is a free site where people give PPHHRREE gyaan

Seriously man, thanks for the advice.

On a sidenote, for the price we paid for this, even if they last 20k kms, it is worth it!

Naaah. Not interested in upgrading alloys. The stock NHC Vtec ones are already 14". Now, if I upgrade to 15" I need to think of another set of AD 07s in a bigger size. I dont think spending more money on alloys is worth it.

abhinav.gupta88 · 9th December 2008, 21:18

What is the MRP.
They look pretty amazing though.

TARUL · 9th December 2008, 21:35

Nice choice I am sure you won't regret,looks like these pics are taken at Madhus.

I hope I wont

Hope your Physics exam went well!

Abhinav Gupta: The usual price is about 5.3k.

Hey bro,
these look pretty good. What is the MRP for these tyres? And are they available as part of Yokohama's indian options or do they have to be imported?

Cheers!
