Pros, cons & observations
Themes extracted from owner reviews across retailers and review sites — not the opinion of TireWheelGuide.
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.
Pros
- 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.
Cons
- 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.
Observations
- 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.
The Yokohama Advan Sport V105S is widely regarded as a high-performance tire that excels in steering precision, dry grip, and wet-weather confidence. While users frequently praise its responsive handling and feedback, opinions on tread longevity are polarized, with some reporting rapid wear under spirited driving conditions.
Pros
- Exceptional dry and wet surface grip
- Precise steering response and road feedback
- Progressive handling characteristics
- High value-to-performance ratio, especially when discounted
Cons
- Inconsistent tread life reported by some users
- Firm ride quality may be uncomfortable for some
- Increased road noise compared to touring-focused tires
- Limited rim protection
Observations
- Users with electric vehicles noted that the V105S can offer better longevity in the rear compared to other premium performance brands.
- Drivers transitioning from run-flat tires to the V105S reported a noticeable improvement in ride comfort and overall road manners.
- Performance enthusiasts noted that the tire's stiff sidewall is highly beneficial for track-day feedback but requires a capable chassis to fully utilize.

How do we compare tires?
Every category score blends two independent signals. 60% comes from professional tire tests (braking distances, lap times, noise measurements) normalized against the best tire in each test and weighted toward recent tests. 40% comes from thousands of owner reviews collected from retailers and review sites. When a tire has only one of the two, we use what exists and say so.
Community buzz from Reddit and forums is shown for context only — it never changes the score.
