Yokohama Advan Neova AD08R. FEATURES AND BENEFITS: Summer weather traction; High speed controllability; Longer lasting tread life; . OVERVIEW: The Yokohama Advan Neova AD08R is a performance and high performance, summer tire manufactured for passenger vehicles and SUVs.The tire enhances the summer weather traction. The model utilizes the special MS compound 2R and the directional tread pattern to boost the dry and wet weather traction. The tread design's optimal road-to-tire ratio improves the grip on dry pavement, while the compound optimizes the traction in wet weather conditions. The compound also avoids heat build-up along the tread area during its summer weather performance. The tread's circumferential and angled lateral grooves disperse water and slush from the footprint. This helps maintain the surface contact by preventing water to get between the tire and the road. The result is a safer summer weather performance.The model guarantees exceptional high speed durability and performance. The tread pattern's rapid reflex twin continuous center ribs upgrade the surface contact throughout the drive. In this manner, the tire improves the steering responsiveness and accuracy to the driver's instructions, while it also secures the structural stability while the tires are in motion. The shoulder pattern's outer rib wall and the stronger shoulder construction work together to optimize the cornering ability. They maintain the road contact and provide extra biting edges during maneuvering. The steel sidewall inserts prevent the tire's deformation under the high speed pressure, while the heat-resistant 2R compound eases the high speed pressure off the tire. This combination ensures the tire's secure high speed performance throughout the tire's lifetime.The Advan Neova AD08R offers a longer lasting service life. The MS compound 2R and the ideal tread's outer rib wall manage to optimize the tire's longer usability. The compound's heat-resistance prevents accelerated heat build-up along the tread area, which protects the tire from premature wear. On the other hand, the tread design allows the tire to evenly distribute the driving pressure along the tread area. The equally spread out forces of acceleration, cornering and braking actively prevent irregular wear formations. In this manner, the tire greatly elongates the tread life. Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored before they are sold, the year of their manufacture will not shorten their service life.
