The Yokohama ADVAN Neova AD09 is a high-performance tire designed for drivers who want the performance of a racing tire while still being suitable for street use. It is made with race-inspired technology and is engineered to deliver excellent dry grip, precise handling, and consistent performance on both the track and the street. To achieve this, the tire has an optimized, asymmetric tread pattern with large outboard tread blocks. This design improves responsiveness, dry cornering grip, and high-speed handling. The strong center rib provides solid on-center feel and responsive steering, allowing for quick transitions when driving in a straight line or taking high-speed corners. In wet conditions, the tire's inboard tread section, curved circumferential groove, and deep lateral grooves work together with a high silica compound to prevent hydroplaning and improve traction. This means that even in wet weather, the tire can maintain good grip and performance. The internal construction of the Yokohama ADVAN Neova AD09 adds to its performance capabilities. It features two wide steel belts atop a two-ply polyester casing, resulting in a rigid sidewall that enhances high-speed handling and durability. Two nylon reinforcement plies further stabilize the tread, ensuring the tire performs well even under demanding conditions. It is important to note that the Yokohama ADVAN Neova AD09 is an Extreme Performance Summer tire and is not recommended for use in near-freezing temperatures or on snow or ice. Exposure to these conditions can negatively affect its performance and durability. Additionally, if the tire is exposed to temperatures of 20 degrees F or lower, it should be allowed to gradually return to temperatures of at least 40 degrees F before any adjustments or use.
