Yokohama Advan Neova AD08 Tyres

[James.Judd.1]

Has anybody used these?

They seem to sit right in the middle of a fast road tyre and trackday tyre which is exactly what im after.
The car will be driven very rarely in the wet so its mainly dry performance I am after, although it would be nice to know the car isnt going to pirouette every time it rains.
I know the Prada's were terrible tyres but these seem too be getting really good reviews!

im using yoko pradas and they are the best tyres i have had. but like you i dont drive it in the wet. in the dry pradas are great.

 

[James.Judd.1]

Yeah I have also had the pleasure of using pradas in the wet.
These are meant to outperform pradas wet and dry

I will have to have a look at a set next time I change pradas are only 55 a tyre

Pretty sure Bill has wrapped his race car in these, though won't have driven on them yet to be able to comment. Just trying to narrow down the best price

 

[James.Judd.1]

They look like good compromise between a normal fast road tyre & something like a R888.

The best I have found so far is about £115 for a 215/45/16. Let me know if you find anywhere cheaper

 

[Robbie C]

Cool - yeh sound like the perfect compound for fast road/track use

Cheapest I've found so far is Camskill, coming in at £112.75 inc VAT for 215/45/16

 

[gazcuprablk]

also been looking at these in 205 45 16 for summer use they are £111+vat will keep an eye on this thread

Rob/ James, are you :gay: hahaha.

Something I may look into in the future. I'll let you guys buy first

What about the Hankook RS2's?

Heard good things about these yoko's tho.

 

[Robbie C]

Couldn't see the RS2s in 205/45/16s Phil, think I'm swaying towards these AD08s tbh
