The Yokohama ADVAN Neova AD09 is Yokohama's Extreme Performance Summer tire engineered for drivers seeking true race-inspired technology and track-level performance in a street-capable tire. The ADVAN Neova AD09 has its roots in motorsports and circuit racing and is engineered to provide agile handling with excellent dry grip, fast lap times, and consistent performance both on the track and street.

Note: Like all Extreme Performance Summer tires, Yokohama's ADVAN Neova AD09 is not intended to be serviced, stored or driven in near-and-below-freezing temperatures, through snow or on ice.

Yokohama ADVAN Neova AD09 Callouts

The Yokohama ADVAN Neova AD09 is molded into an optimized, asymmetric pattern with large outboard tread blocks for enhanced responsiveness, dry cornering grip, and confident high-speed handling. A strong center rib provides solid on-center feel and responsive steering for quick transitions between straight-line sprints and high-speed cornering. The inboard tread section, with a full depth, curved circumferential groove, and deep lateral grooves perform in concert with an all-new high silica compound to mitigate hydroplaning and deliver improved traction in wet conditions.

The internal construction of the Yokohama ADVAN Neova AD09 consists of two wide steel belts atop a two-ply polyester casing with a high turn-up, resulting in a rigid, three-ply polyester sidewall. Two nylon reinforcement plies further stabilize the tread to provide high-speed handling and durability.

CAUTION:NEVER store or use below -10℃(14℉)as this may damage tire and impede performance.

Extreme Performance Summer - 2024 Test 5 Part 2(16:42)

EP tires wear two distinct hats. They’re great on sporty and high horsepower vehicles conquering the everyday road and on those same vehicles as they dominate in various races and track days. The nuances here are many as increased traction and performance in one of these arenas can mean a tradeoff elsewhere. This two-part test lays it all bare and reveals just how close, but different, this category can be!

Yokohama ADVAN NEOVA AD09 Reviews

Reviews highlight excellence in dry traction, with drivers praising exceptional grip, precise steering response, and confidence during track days, autocross, and HPDE events. Wet performance receives positive marks for predictable handling in light rain, though some note reduced traction in standing water. Treadwear draws mixed feedback-many appreciate durability through multiple heat cycles and track sessions, while others report premature wear or chunking under aggressive use. Enthusiasts value the AD09's balance of track-focused performance and street usability, though its true strengths shine in dry, high-demand driving scenarios where consistent grip and communication are paramount.

Reviewers scoring 9s and 10s praise the AD09's wet traction, highlighting excellent grip and stability in rainy track conditions, with some noting predictable handling even on misty surfaces. A few mention hydroplaning in deep standing water, but most agree it performs admirably for an extreme-performance tire, offering confidence during wet driving when pressures are properly managed.

...They gripped very well in the wet... Every bit as good as the more expensive OEM tires but better in the wet and cold.

Extremely pleased with the AD09s so far. They gripped very well in the wet, and phenomenal on dry pavement. Every bit as good as the more expensive OEM tires but better in the wet and cold.

...Performed well in rain, without trying to push them to the limit, they FELT as good in the rain as all seasons feel in dry.

Good tire. If you ever do burnouts or otherwise fry the tire it will step out on you pretty easily on acceleration off a corner later. However when new or not fried, they will be very hard to step out, I’ve even tried on when while new and they hooked. Basically just treat them well and they will be great. Performed well in rain, without trying to push them to the limit, they FELT as good in the rain as all seasons feel in dry.

...I ran my normal coastal roads at the same pace I would with the Cup 2s and get the same level of grip and feedback. I observed no weaknesses in this tire for average day to day driving compared to the OEM Michelin...

This is one of the only tire options available for the 991.2 GT3 that aren't the Cup2s. Driving around town, the AD09 and the Cup2 are very comparable with the AD09 being ever so slightly harsher on medium impact road undulations. Turn in is sharper and feedback is stronger as a result of the stiffer side wall most likely. I ran my normal coastal roads at the same pace I would with the Cup 2s and get the same level of grip and feedback. I observed no weaknesses in this tire for average day to day driving compared to the OEM Michelin. Now for the track.. I run the car in group 4/TT and have raced for years. This tire is likely 1, maybe 2 seconds slower a lap than the Cup 2 but I would argue that's only relevant if you're trying to set a qualifying lap. Where this tire shines is in it's consistency and how well it holds up to abuse. I'd wager that the average group 3/4 driver is quicker with this tire since you don't have adjust for the performance fall off the way you do with a Cup2. If you were comparing average lap times over a session, I bet the AD09 wins. I will say, this thing wears like iron compared to the Cup2s. After a 10 sessions on track, no graining, cupping, wear spots or appreciable reduction in tread.. nothing. Conversely, I could easily wreck some Cup2s in a weekend. End of the day, some drivers will notice the slight reduction in absolute overall grip but I think this tire makes up for it in price, consistency, wear rate on the track and usability on the road. If you absolutely need the best lap times than you should be probably looking at a Hoosier anyway.

...They take a lap to get some heat in them and then they just straight HOOK. They seem to grip in corners on the track just as well as cup 2's for less money...

I’ve done 2 track days on this tire for a total of about 2 hours on track. Both days it was 95 degrees or more. They take a lap to get some heat in them and then they just straight HOOK. They seem to grip in corners on the track just as well as cup 2’s for less money. Wear looks good after 2 track days. On my second track day on the last session you could tell they were starting to get that greasy feel and become over heated.

I haven’t driven them on the street, just the track. They go on the car, car goes on trailer and gets pulled to track days. So I can’t really comment on their manners as a street tire but as a HPDE tire they do really well and I think I’ll probably end up buying another set once these are toast.

Treadwear receives strong praise, with many scoring 8-10 for excellent durability through multiple track days and heat cycles. Users highlight lasting 10+ track sessions with minimal wear, outperforming expectations for a 200TW tire. Some note quicker wear under extreme use but view it as typical for the category, emphasizing the AD09's endurance-focused design and impressive lifespan when used as intended.

...So far the tires are wearing well but it's still too early to really tell...

Great tire that gives plenty of feedback when close to its limit. The sidewall is stiff enough to give great turn in and know exactly what you’re going to get in every turn. So far the tires are wearing well but it’s still too early to really tell. They aren’t as bad as I expected in the wet, I’d say as long as you’re mindful of them you’ll be okay. This is my first 200tw tire and I’ve been extremely happy with my purchase so far.

After about 10,000 miles, 2 road trips from Oregon to Colorado, several HPDEs, Track Sprints and AutoX's, I gotta replace the rears on my 991.2 C4S. These are a great value for the amount of grip you get...

After about 10,000 miles, 2 road trips from Oregon to Colorado, several HPDEs, Track Sprints and AutoX's, I gotta replace the rears on my 991.2 C4S. These are a great value for the amount of grip you get. AutoXers wont find it hard to keep pace with the meta tires, AO52's included.

The tires have great grip from cold to warm but you'll find they punch WAY above their weight when they get a super hot canvas to stick to, where the meta 200tw tires stat to get greasy. Track days in the PNW have lots of rain and these will allow for quicker times in the wet compared to the AO52s. My only complaint is lots of road noise, some slow turn-in response and how picky the grip threshold is when the tires aren't at the perfect psi.

Highly recommend for the price for anybody running 20" wheels.
