Yokohama ADVAN Neova AD08RS Owner Reviews

What owners say summarised from 40 reviews

Owners broadly agree the Yokohama ADVAN Neova AD08RS is a durable road/track compromise tire: those who mention wear report outstanding tread life, often surviving multiple track days with little degradation. However, dry performance divides opinion-around four in five owners comment on dry grip and more criticise it than praise it, typically describing early sliding and a lack of confidence when pushed hard. Noise is also a common gripe (mentioned by nearly half), with frequent reports of squeal or groaning near the limit, while wet grip is generally considered better than expected for this type of tire.

virtually the same as a previous AD08R. I've been driving them all the year. I wasn't on the circuit. I drive them only on roads. I rode cautiously in the wet and then it's okay. They are perfect when dry. Of course you need to think of warming up before a quick ride.

I've run AD08R â€˜s since they were first released. Amazing tire!

My driving is a mixture of fast road and track use.

I took the new AD08RS's over to the alps and covered a couple of thousand miles.

The compound is noticeably harder and there is a lot less dry grip. I found them to be quite unpredictable- sometimes they'd grip and others they wouldn't. Not great when you're on a mountain pass!

I won't be buying these again.

I've had 2 sets of the previous Ad08r compound on the car before for road/ track use and 2 trips to the Nurburgring and they were excellent but the new Ad08rs tire is not as good , the compound is a lot harder and I thought the car struggled with dry grip at the Nurburgring this time around , the car lacked the confidence the previous R compound gave .
I will be looking else where for a Trackday tire in the future I'm sad to say
