I find that hard to believe. The AD08's have a tread wear rating of 180. The Michelin Sport Cups are rated 80, ie, a much softer, grippier compound.
AD08's may be stickier than the PS2's, (which are rated 220) but I highly doubt they are grippier than Sport Cups.
At any rate, they don't come in 315/30/18 either, so I'll probably never try them to find out.

I would agree on the AD08. It's an awesome overall tire.

Michelin PS2's have slightly better grip than Michelin PSS's. That being said, the PSS's last longer and ride smoother then the PS2's. My buddy builds pro touring muscle cars for a living, and he is running BFG Rivals on his 1970 Chevelle right now. He said they are awesome, and I have heard a couple guys at the tracks have said they prefer the Rivals over the Michelin tires. My personal choice is Michelin. I swear by them and I use them on all my street cars. They simply are the best all around tire for what you do on the street. My 944 track car has Toyo R888's, but they are a softer tire and they are noisy to me on the street.
