Default Softer compound A032R available?

Does anybody know where to get the softer compound Yokohama A032R? I heard AJ Racing can get them.

Is it true that the A032R sold in the US is the 'hardest' compound available in the A032R?

I've heard the same as Kenji. The A032R comes in different compounds in JDM land.

The softer A032Rs are available in Japan - but I think they are phasing them out in favour of the new tire designs....i.e. A048 (which are available in a variety of compounds). Call Ben or Alan at A&J for more info.

true
we receive H compound I believe, the hardest compound AO32R (more are available in Japan)

mine were H compound, but would have been great to get even softer ones too

Just remember, if you plan on auto-x'ing on these, anything but DOT certified tires are illegal.

A032R is consider H compound. The S compound is the A032RS.

Also, the A038 and the new A048 is softer than the A032R.

Yeah so far there are only 032 w/ H compound is available. R&D, IPS, AJR etc can get u whatever R/S tires that are or aren't DOT approved. Advan's from 032 to 048(of coz Neova), Dunlop from D01J to D98J, Bridgestone's 520s & 540s etc etc.

I think if u are just looking for fun and not racing for points in CACC/SCCA events, DOT tires or not doesn't really matter.
