Features and Benefits

The A008 series sets the original ultra-high performance standard. Designed from technology obtained directly from racing, the A008 series introduced the asymmetric tread to the American motoring public. These tires offer superior wet-condition handling and maximized cornering traction. The A008G is an improved version in the lower profile 50 series, and is designed for drivers who want the finest race-bred performance from a non-competition tire.
