Yokohama Advan Neova AD07

replaced a full set of bridgestones with more oe spec bridgestones only to find the original compound has changed for my car. the new spec are as far as i'm concerned undriveable so bit the bullet and changed to a full set of yoko ad07's. what a transformation! the level of feedback is so much better with the car being far less twitchy as speeds rise. i thought that was just the way the car behaved but these tyres prove its not the case. dry road grip is as at least as good as before but not had that much dry roads since fitting so a bit limited in that knowledge. i was warned against very poor performance in the wet though but i feel this is actually better than the potenza's.
i have also been warned not to subject the tyres to extreme cold temperatures (-12 or more)which will cause permanent damage. if i drove my lotus in those conditions i would need my head tested anyway so this causes no problem.
price wise they were a tad more expensive than the oe spec potenzas but as that spec has changed now, it is no longer an alternative as far as i'm concerned.
really happy with this tyre and would recommend

Got these yokos with the car and though they do rumble they stick to the road like something to a blanket.
I use my car to go to work and fun little trips and though the suspention is hard the feed back from these front tyres and the bigger rear tyres are great, they will let you know when they want to let go and once gone are very easy to guide!! I have now ordered a new set of fronts as the old set though still legal have lost it as I fear the winter cold has trashed the surface of them, they are rated for min -10 so I have been told and we have had a lot colder this winter. but these tyres ROCK.

These were brought over on a drag starlet so had seen some use. About time to change them now but they still grip fairly well. The car is FF weighing 760kg so getting the power down is an issue if it's anything but dry warm tarmac...in the wet these tyres didn't offer much grip or traction, lighting up the fronts at over 80mph.

I buy this tyre because of many racing tuners recomending this. Some said it is better than Michelin Pilot Sport 2 and Pirelli Nero. So I buy it. I also do not want my friends to think I am stick in the mud. So far I am bowled by it's cornering and handling. It is stupendous. I tis very costly but I like it when my friends pat me on my back and refer me as a racing man. I feel like real man now. Only my mother and younger brother and sisters said the car is too uncomfortable riding since I put on the Neova AD-07. Sometimes they get very angry because they now have to shout at each other to make conversation because of the noise.

The best thing since sliced bread.

Incredibly progressive, stunning grip in the dry, which becomes even better in the wet. The ultimate MK1 tyre that you can use year round.

*Please note this is the LTS compound so is only available in elise sizes.
