Who said that the Advan tire has a 100tw compound? This is illegal based on the Gazoo regulations. Do you understand that the car in the video is a Gazoo 86/BRZ car? Check the tires that are allowed:



A 200tw compound is the softest you can use. The Advan A08b was a different name of the A052 and maybe had some small differences. The A052 is the productive version of the early prototype.

It is also available on tirerack: https://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires...del=ADVAN+A052
