Never, never put the A008RS down.  They were undoubtedly the best track tires that I've ever seen.  Long lasting, lots of grip and extremely dependable.  The only problem that I had with them is that with the GT you could overheat the front tires over a long session, and then you needed to back down.  I even ran with those tires, nearly in slick form, in the rain.  I was lapping every other car, and no one could believe it!  Phenominal tires, wish they still made them...the A032R was a weak replacement.
