I ordered them from ATS Euromaster during the change over phase from R to RS. It was a unknown as to which version of the tyres I'd get. These were my first "track" tyre so was happy with either option.
However after driving on them for about a year and doing several trackdays they really aren't anything special. Michelin PS4 has 90% of the dry grip of the AD08RS and much better wet grip, also PS4's work when its below 10degrees, the advans go hard and have no grip at this temperature.
I don't think we (UK/Europe) are getting the AD09. See the Yokohama press release for the tyre, there is no mention of UK or Europe :
Be interested to hear if anyone has tried 16s. I have some Team Dynamics Pro Race 1.2 wheels, nothing special, in 16x7 with I think around 38 ET. The current tyres are AD08R in 205x55r16, and I was thinking of going back to something like the Primacy when those are worn.
I'm running these on my CT at the moment with TPMS valves, and I heard that the valves are the same for Toyota and Lexus, so hopefully just get a new centre bore part and they'll go straight onto a GR86, whenever it gets delivered.

Might as well consider PS5 than PS4 or AD09

I'd add the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 to the list, as it's comparible to the PS5 according to TyreReviews.

Have you heard of Bridgestone potenza sport as well? Should be also comparible to PS5 and F1A5.

Yes I have. A friend bought a set for his GT86 and assumed they'd be similar to the PS4 and Eagle F1.
We both had a trackday booked the following week after he had the tyres fitted, at Bedford Autodrome. When he arrived he commented how good the tyres felt on the road.
However after a couple of sessions on track they were toast.
Basically a qualifying tyre, made him really quick for about 2 laps and then they started mellting.
Me and the other GT86 owners that were there had no issues with our tyres. They weren't overheated either as he checked the pressures after each session.

To make it easy find wheels which will fit the GR86 without clearance issues we have a GR86 Wheel Library , if you can think of a better title let me know . This thread is not open for discussion to keep it as a reference. There will be a separate thread for each wheel where discussion and photos can be posted. The library will grow over time and hopefully it will be a quick link for anyone looking for different alloys

This thread is a quick reference to the wheels which are a confirmed fitment for the GR86. There is a separate thread for each wheel which is open for comments and discussion. The U.K. Standard fit 10 spoke black alloys have the following specification so any wheel which matches this should...

Looks really good. I think they are 18 9.5 +45 TE37SL Saga. I am also looking at ST XTA coilover which is KW owned brand.
That looks smart, lot of wheel though, can't see how that doesn't rub at the back unless they've ground the tab in the rear arch.
This setup caught my eye, not as aggressive but still looks good. Enkei TSV, 18x8.5 ET 43 with 235/35/18 Michelin PS4S

Am I being a bit thick , but any setup which rubs rubber against the body work , under any conditions can’t be a good idea

This is a good read on how to set up the car / what tire or wheels combo to avoid rubbing or shaving the rear tab.

I just don’t get running the tyres so close to the bodywork when you can pick up a stone etc and drag that around the wheel arch , maybe I’m getting old as these days I prefer Burger King to Macadees
