Yokohama ADVAN Neova AD08RS im Test
The Yokohama ADVAN Neova AD08RS is a polarizing tire that serves as a durable, long-lasting street-oriented performance tire rather than a dedicated track semi-slick. While many users criticize it for failing to match the legendary dry grip and track-day performance of its predecessor, the AD08R, it is widely praised by those who prioritize longevity, consistent handling, and daily drivability over ultimate lap times.

Vorteile
- Exceptional tread life and durability compared to traditional 200TW track tires.
- Predictable and stable handling characteristics for spirited street driving.
- Surprisingly capable in wet conditions for a tire with this tread pattern.
- Consistent performance across a wide range of temperatures without overheating.
Nachteile
- Significant reduction in dry grip and 'bite' compared to the previous AD08R model.
- Frequent reports of audible squealing when approaching the limit, which can be misleading to drivers.
- Harder compound requires more aggressive driving or specific pressure management to reach optimal operating temperature.
- Not suitable for competitive track use where maximum mechanical grip is required.
Gut zu wissen
- Users with lightweight, mid-engine platforms (e.g., Lotus Elise, MR2) report better satisfaction with the tire's balance and predictability.
- High-horsepower RWD vehicles often struggle with traction, with some users noting the tire is insufficient for cars exceeding 400hp.
- Drivers of FWD hatchbacks appreciate the tire's longevity for dual-purpose road and occasional track use.
