Yokohama Advan Neova AD09 brings track performance to the road
03 Nov 2022|7,589 views
High-performance tyres greatly enhance your car's grip and handling, which is why enthusiasts are so eager to upgrade their stock tyres.
But for some drivers, even ultra-high-performance tyres may not be enough to meet their demands. Unlike most motorists, these drivers not only drive more powerful cars - they also frequently participate in track days.
Driving on a racetrack is hard on the cars. Apart from hotter temperatures, engines, brakes and suspensions are subjected to higher loads due to hard acceleration, cornering and stopping. Tyres will experience the same stresses as well.
To unlock your machine's full track potential, you need a track-focussed tyre like the Yokohama Advan Neova AD09, which offers even greater levels of grip while still being able to withstand the difficult conditions on a circuit.
Traction is the top priority
The AD09's contact patch is maximised by having fewer drainage channels and grooves, so there's more rubber in contact with the road The Yokohama Advan Neova AD09 is a UHPS (ultra-high-performance-sport) tyre.
Its tread pattern is indicative of this. There are two drainage channels and fewer grooves.
Having fewer drainage channels and grooves helps maximise the tread's surface, thereby increasing the size of the tyre's contact patch. The contact patch is the part of the tyre that is always in contact with the road.
Further enhancing the AD09's grip are the wide and stiff shoulders, which contribute to better handling as the tyre's sidewalls flex less when cornering.
This stability heightens the driver's confidence, as turn-ins will feel both sharper and grippier. And speaking of turn-ins, the AD09's solid centre rib delivers the precise steering feel and upgraded feedback that keen drivers seek.
In addition, the tyre's rounder profile and two-layer belt cover give its structure higher rigidity, which is what drivers demand when driving on a racetrack.
Unfazed by wet conditions
Track conditions can change without warning. A hot and muggy track session can easily become wet and slippery when dark clouds arrive.
In this situation, drivers running slick or semi-slick tyres would have to stop or even call it a day. But the Advan Neova AD09 is just as ready to face a wet surface as it a dry one.
It may only have two drainage channels, but apart from being wide, these grooves are also wavy. The tyre's high-silica compound also improves grip as well.
The wavy design isn't just for aesthetics, though, for compared to straight grooves, wavy ones are even better at channelling water away from the tyre.
Complementing these grooves are the drainage channels' smoothing block edge, which help maintain wet performance while improving wear performance as well.
With the AD09, you don't have to pack up and drive home when it starts raining during your track day.
From the track to the road
The Advan Neova AD09 is the ideal tyre for track day enthusiasts, but even keen drivers who mostly do street driving can benefit from its performance potential.
The AD09's even higher levels of grip and rigidity will improve your car's acceleration, braking and cornering. And if your friends invite you to join them on their next trip to Sepang, you'll be ready.
The Advan Neova AD09 is available at all authorised Yokohama dealers, and comes in sizes ranging from 15 inches to 21 inches. For more information, click here to visit the official website of YHI Corporation.
