I managed to find a review video. The tires were compared on a WRX STI car, but it is as much closer to what we have. Unfortunately the video is in Russsian:
[ame="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AdR9DU9KG50"]Тес‚ ˆин Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2, Yokohama A052 и Yokohama AD08R на Subaru WRX STI - YouTube[/ame]
Quick race track results:
Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2
1:45,345
Yokohama Advan A052
1:46,366
Yokohama Advan AD08R
1:46,470
Overall, the reviewers say that the A052 tires are more of a pseudo semi-slick tire and they are not a direct replacement of the older A048 tire. They say that they are more road friendly and had to comply with the new stricter European regulations for road tires.
A comment should be made also about the result of the older AD08R tire. Their most weakest point seemed to be the brake performance. Nevertheless, given that the cost price of AD08R is the half comparing to the other two, it looks that they are still the best compromise between price and performance.
