The ADVAN Neova AD07 represents the latest offering from Yokohama, and is the flagship of the company’s Extreme Performance Summer tyre range. It is specially developed to be used in sports car, sports coupe and performance sedan, an aspect that should encourage car enthusiast who love sport driving. The high point of the ADVAN Neova AD07 is that it is equally suitable for wet and dry roads and possesses high levels of traction, responsive handling, and makes for great control. It is interesting to note that it has been earlier used as Original Equipment (O.E.) on the Lotus Elise.

The ADVAN Neova AD07 utilises the much in demand Micro Silica (MS) tread compound so as to increase cornering stability and steering response while promoting more even wear. Five large circumferential and multiple directionally aligned lateral grooves are there as well that apart from preventing hydroplaning, augments wet traction.

Moreover, the tyre is specially structured to provide the necessary strength and uniform ride quality while ensuring high speed capability. It includes two wide steel belts supplemented by spirally wound nylon for the purpose. Then the sidewalls of the tyre are also taken proper care and are tuned to resist lateral deflection providing handling control and cornering stability.

Yokohama has carried out radical innovations and out of the box technology to develop the final product which is meant to provide you optimum service within a specific range of ambient temperatures. Like the other Advan summer tyres, including he Yokohama Advan ST, the Advan Neova AD07 must be properly stored. Therefore, the company has also clearly instructed users to use and store theses tyres at temperatures above -10 degrees Celsius, especially considering its compound characteristics.

While driving a car it is common sense to perceive that you want to be in complete control; and it is possible that speed thrills you, but unfortunately speed also kills. This contradictory situation means that you need to get hold of something that will fulfill your weakness for speed while simultaneously ensure your safety. The latest offer from Yokohama, the AVS ES100 Tyres, are a viable solution and fits the bill perfectly as they are specially prepared and designed to provide high sped capabilities and quick steering response along with stable cornering and traction on dry and wet roads.

Actually, AVS ES100 tyres are “Ultra High Performance Summer” tyres and a great bet for sports cars, coupes and sedans. The model is member of the company’s illustrious Advanced Vehicle System flagship family of performance tyres, and as such offers a better performance than say the ordinary Yokohama Parada. You should however, guard against using these tires in near-freezing temperatures, as these are all but winter tyres. Another great aspect of these is that they are low profile tyres and consequently will have a low impact on your budget.

The low cost notwithstanding, they are any time better than the customary stock tires. Pointers in this direction include a better grip, quieter operation, and a smart look.

Technology wise, it features a high-tech silica tread compound molded into a directional tread design with long tread blocks and a continuous centre rib for better gripping, responsive handling, and high-speed stability. Moreover, it has two wide circumferential center channels and “high angle” lateral tread grooves that play a pivotal role in enhancing wet traction and minimise hydroplaning. It does that by effectively pumping water to the sides of the tyre’s footprint.

The interior of the AVS ES100 features twin steel belts supported by joint less and wrapped nylons that stabilise the thread area. The arrangement literally shores up high-speed capability while minimising weight and you can also leverage the benefits of better handling.
