Yokohama Advan Neova AD08

Nothing short of OUTSTANDING.

I've never experienced grip levels of this sort on a FWD car. every aspect of the tyres grip and response was superior to any other road tyre available. feed back is one of the Honda Integra TypeR DC2's strong points, and by jove do you fell every little thing that the car is doing with these beasts on.

In the dry it is nearly impossible to get the car to actually understeer! which is aided by the car, however the drive is second to none. In the wet it is a different story, I have experienced considerable understeer and aqua-planing during heavy to treacherous downpours. However this is under spirited driving which i suppose is not advised. In damp to wet conditions they are OK - average , in other words i wasn't massively impressed.

Overall however they are something else, these tyres are built for fast road and track driving and they inspire confidence which is unrivaled by any other tyre i have tried and experienced to date. If you want the best feedback, grip and response available from your cars performance you can'y get better than these tyres. I'm pretty sure I have even achieved 0-60 sprint times as fast if not marginally faster than Hondas supposed (6.5secs) fastest times in a DC2 due to excess grip levels.

In addition I have taken them off for winter with 4mm of tread left, the reason being... I want to keep them for the track this summer :-)

Staggering! These are the best tyres I have ever used on my Impreza's. I have used Goodyear GSD3's (V-pattern's), Falkern Super Steel 595's, Toyo T1R's (terrible), Goodyear Vreddie's.

I went from the T1R to the AD08 and whilst in the tyre fitter's it was obvious seeing the two side by side (the T1R's had only completed 1K miles), the construction of the Yokohama was far superior. The carcass was very solid - sidewall and main tread part. A friend who was with me joked they hardly need inflating.

First drive out (120 miler round Shropshire's finest B-roads) was a revelation. Basically they seemed to totally sort my Type R Impreza. Turn-in was direct with good feedback. General road feedback was good too, allowing a more fluid, connected drive. Grip levels (dry) are brilliant, all the way up to the limit. When the limit is reached there is a wide amount of safe, easily explorable progression. There's no sudden letting go.

The shoulder's of most tyres would be showing signs of wear after about 1K miles (car only used for blats out), but the Yoko's have not worn in this manner, staying good

In short I am very impressed with the tyre, they do everything you could want from a tyre and do it well. They seem to suit the Impreza very well indeed. Highly recommended, and will buy again

Great tyres, super super sticky in the dry, the best I've ever experienced in gact. also noticeably more comfortable than my last set. I have these on two of my cars I like then so much. Only down side is wet weather behavior. A little bit of rain is no issue, but I've had some aquaplaning on standaning water at over 60mph in torrential conditions, but as long as you drive accordingly they are super.

Wanted some toyo 888's but was put off by lack of grip in the wet and high road noise! Well i'm glad i went for the yokos! Way more silent than my michilen ps3's,look great and are super sticky!

Only had these on for around a week and already driven them in torrential downpours and extreme sun and they've performed extremely well in both!

These tyres in the dry, have not given up on me yet. I'm almost scared to see how far I can push them just because I don't think I will stay in my seat. G-Force isnt even the term with these.... These... Weapons!

Good strong side walls, so not the comfiest of rides but if you want comfort why are you looking at a review of this tyre?
Suprisingly not as noisy as I thought they'd be and felt very stable at high speeds!

I would definately buy again without hesitation!

Used these on my EK9 at the nurburgring. Used in both wet and dry conditions and performed well in both. Can push these to the limit and they still feel like they have more to give. Very good feedback and consistant grip levels.

Would deffo buy again.
