Consider the new Hankook R-S3, which is said to be MUCH better than the old R-S2.
Compared with the AD08 it has better cold/wet properties.

In the US they sell it at least for one year, so there are already many reviews on the
forums. Now it's available in Germany:

(this seller is in Kiel and I know this guy from slalom/autocross)

Ad048 are 80 wear too

Each brand uses their own wear rate so 80 for one is not the same for another Brand. Totally crazy i know.  :chicken:
