The top 3 tire rankings are based
on customer overall rating scores for 14 different performance
factors.
Ratings provided by
Tire Rack
Note:
The overall ranking of a tire
may not be the best judge of it's performance capabilities
for you.
Look at how each tire performed in the individual
performance factors and decide which is the most important
for your driving style and needs.
Example:
The number one ranked tire may
rate low for tread wear which is your most important
consideration when choosing a new tire. But...the number 3
ranked tire may have a better customer rating for tread wear
which might make this your better choice. To

The Number 1 Rated Tire
The
ADVAN Neova AD07 is the
Extreme
Performance Summer
tire
member of Yokohama's ADVAN
performance tires
created for sports car, sports coupe and
performance sedan enthusiasts who love
sport
driving. Used as
Original
Equipment (O.E.) on the Lotus Elise, the ADVAN Neova AD07 is
designed to
provide
high
levels of
traction,
responsive
handling and
driving
control in dry and wet
road
conditions. The ADVAN Neova AD07 is not intended to be
driven in
cold temperatures or in snow.
The ADVAN Neova AD07 molds a "fine particle"
Micro Silica (MS)
tread
compound (to
provide
greater road
surface adhesion)
into a directional
tread
pattern
that
features
massive tread blocks
with
rounded edges to
increase cornering
stability and
steering
response
while
promoting
more
even
wear.
Five
large circumferential and multiple directionally aligned lateral
grooves
resist hydroplaning and
enhance wet
traction. The tire's structure includes two
wide
steel belts reinforced by spirally
wound nylon to provide strength and
uniform
ride
quality and high-speed
capability
while the sidewalls are tuned to
resist lateral deflection
providing
handling
control and cornering
stability.
Like the motorsports tires
this Extreme
Performance
street
tire has evolved
from, the
ADVAN Neova AD07 radial's
construction and compounds
have
been tuned to
maximize the tire's traction and
performance
within a
specific
range of ambient temperatures.
Therefore,
unlike
less highly-tuned tires, Yokohama's
care instructions
specify
that due to its compound
characteristics, ADVAN Neova tires
must be
used and stored at temperatures
above -10 degrees Celsius (14 degrees Fahrenheit) to
maintain its performance and
avoid tire
damage.
