Yokohama ADVAN Neova AD07

The ADVAN Neova AD07 is a compelling choice for drivers who prioritize wet grip, with a score of 9 that surpasses the ultra-high-performance summer category average of 7.6. However, its treadwear rating of 180 suggests a shorter lifespan, and the absence of a treadwear warranty could be a concern for cost-conscious buyers. In terms of performance, the AD07 delivers solid dry grip and handling scores of 8, which are competitive but not leading in the segment. Comfort and noise levels are in line with category expectations, ensuring a balanced ride for those who value a mix of performance and daily drivability. The 'R' speed rating is a notable outlier in this category, where higher ratings are typically expected for high-speed performance. When compared to competitors like the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S, which offers a 30k-mile warranty, the AD07 falls short on treadlife assurance. The Pirelli P Zero (PZ4) and P Zero also provide more traditional high-speed ratings, making them more suitable for drivers who frequently push their vehicles to the limit. Overall, the ADVAN Neova AD07 is best suited for drivers focused on wet traction performance who are less concerned with tire longevity. Those seeking a tire with a warranty and longer tread life might consider the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S instead.
