I was told by a bloke at yokohama UK that it's their official replacement for the A539.  I have them on my car and have done track days on them, they seem pretty good to me.

Hayesey, do you have good handling at wet? Also, they are getting warmed rapidly?

I don't find they require much warming up no, not like the A048 advans I use on some track days.  I don't really rag my g40 in the wet much it just wheels spins like mad so it's hard to comment on that.  They seem as good as ny tyre in the wet to me though.
