Yokohama ADVAN Neova AD07 review

Name: Yokohama ADVAN Neova AD07
Brand: Yokohama

The Yokohama Advan Neova AD07 is widely regarded as a high-performance, track-oriented tire that excels in dry grip, steering feedback, and predictability. While it is highly praised for its communicative nature and progressive breakaway characteristics, users note that it is an 'endurance' style 200TW tire rather than a 'super 200' compound, meaning it prioritizes longevity and consistency over absolute peak lap times.

What owners like and dislike

Themes extracted from 79 owner reviews across retailers and review sites.

Pros

Exceptional dry grip and steering precision
Highly predictable and progressive breakaway behavior
Excellent durability and tread life for a track-capable tire
Strong communication and feedback near the limit

Cons

Can become 'greasy' or lose grip during extended, high-heat track sessions
Higher road noise compared to standard summer tires
Performance in wet conditions is adequate but requires caution
Premium price point compared to some competitors

Worth knowing

Owners of lightweight sports cars, such as the Lotus Elise, report that the tire significantly improves handling stability and reduces twitchiness compared to OE-spec alternatives.
High-horsepower vehicles (500+ whp) generally find the tire effective for street traction, though some users note that it may not match the ultimate grip of dedicated 'super 200' tires on track.
