Select Vehicle or Tire SizeThe ADVAN Neova AD08 R (R for new Revolution in street tire tread compounding) is Yokohama's Extreme Performance Summer tire developed to excite sports car, sports coupe and performance sedan enthusiasts who have a passion for fast and fun driving. ADVAN Neova AD08 R is designed to increase grip and improve handling on dry and wet roads. However, like all Extreme Performance Summer tires, these tires are not intended to be serviced, stored nor driven in near- and below-freezing temperatures, through snow or on ice.
ADVAN Neova AD08 R tire's tread compound features more
carbon to increase dry grip and Micro Silica to enhance wet grip. A
Macromolecule polymer blend increases tread rigidity and resistance to
wear, while Yokohama's Orange Oil Technology maximizes performance and
minimizes environmental impact by replacing some of the petroleum oil
traditionally used in tires with oil harvested from orange peels. The
new compound develops better initial dry grip and control, while
increasing wet performance and resistance to wear. This compound is
molded into a directional tread pattern that features twin
circumferential center ribs and extra-wide uniblock shoulders to
increase cornering stability and steering response. Three large
circumferential grooves and HydroArc Channels in the shoulders resist
hydroplaning and enhance wet traction.
The tire's internal structure includes two wide steel belts reinforced by spirally wound nylon to provide strength and high-speed capability. The sidewalls are reinforced with steel cord inserts to resist lateral deflection and enhance control and cornering stability.
NOTE:
At the end of 2016, Yokohama changed the Uniform Tire Quality Grade (UTQG) of their ADVAN Neova AD08R Extreme Performance Summer tire to reflect a 200 Treadwear rating.
UTQG ratings for Treadwear, Traction and Temperature are based on tests conducted by tire manufacturers and reported to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). These regulations allow tire manufacturers to under-rate their tires' capabilities, but prohibit over-rating them. UTQG ratings are required to be printed on their labels and branded on tire sidewalls.
Yokohama assigned the 180 Treadwear rating when the ADVAN Neova AD08R was introduced, however subsequent Yokohama wear data revealed the tire line earned a 200 Treadwear rating.
With some competition rules now requiring higher UTQG Treadwear ratings, Yokohama decided it was time to officially change the ADVAN Neova AD08R line's rating to accurately reflect its capabilities.
*In order to help drivers confirm which tire they will receive, we have identified the tires by listing their Treadwear rating on the product Specs tab.
Like the motorsports tires this Extreme Performance Summer street tire has evolved from, the ADVAN Neova AD08 R 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 AD08 R tires must be serviced, stored and driven at temperatures above -10 degrees Celsius (14 degrees Fahrenheit) to maintain its performance and avoid tire damage.
El neumático ADVAN Neova AD08 R (R por Revolución en el compuesto de caucho de neumáticos para carreteras) de Yokohama, pertenece a la categoría: Rendimiento Extremo Para Verano y fue desarrollado para animar entusiastas de autos deportivos, cupé deportivo sedán de rendimiento, con pasión por un manejo rápido y divertido. El ADVAN Neova AD08 R ha sido diseñado para aumentar agarre y mejorar maniobrabilidad sobre superficies secas y mojadas. Sin embargo, como todo neumático de Rendimiento Extremo Para Verano, no fue diseñado para ser utilizado en temperaturas cercanas al nivel de congelación o superficies con hielo o nieve.
El ADVAN Neova AD08 R posee un compuesto de caucho con más carbón, para aumentar el agarre sobre superficies secas, y Micro Silica (sílice) para aumentarlo sobre mojadas. Una mezcla de polímero "Macromolecule", aumenta la rigidez de la huella y la resistencia al desgaste, mientras que la tecnología Orange Oil de Yokohama maximiza el rendimiento, a la vez de minimizar el impacto al medioambiente, al reemplazar, el uso de aceites de petróleo tradicionales, por aceites provenientes de la cáscara de la naranja. Este nuevo compuesto de caucho desarrolla un mejor agarre inicial y control, a la vez, de mejorar el rendimiento sobre superficies mojadas y mayor resistencia al desgaste. El mismo es moldeado en una banda de rodamiento direccional, que cuenta con dos segmentos centrales circunferenciales y hombros extra anchos uniblock, para mejorar la respuesta al girar el volante y la estabilidad al tomar curvas. Tres canales circunferenciales grandes y ranuras "HydroArc" en los hombros, mejoran la tracción sobre superficies mojadas y aumentan la resistencia al deslizamiento sobre agua (hydroplaning).
La estructura interna incluye dos capas anchas de acero reforzadas con nailon envuelto en espiral, para proporcionar fortaleza y capacidad de andar a velocidades elevadas. Los flancos o paredes están reforzados con cordón de acero, para resistir la flexión constante y mejorar el control y la estabilidad al tomar curvas.
NOTA:
A finales del 2016, Yokohama cambió la calificación de las Normas de Clasificación Uniforme de Calidad de Neumáticos (UTQG por sus siglas en inglés, Uniform Tire Quality Grading Standards) del ADVAN Neova AD08R de la categoría de Rendimiento Extremo Para Verano, para reflejar una calificación de desgaste de 200.
Las calificaciones UTQG para Desgaste, Tracción y Temperatura se basan en pruebas realizadas por los fabricantes y son reportadas a la Administración Nacional de la Seguridad de Tráfico en Carreteras (NHTSA, por sus siglas en inglés). La reglamentación permite que los fabricantes, otorguen calificaciones de la capacidad del neumático más bajas, pero prohíben aumentarlas. Calificaciones UTQG son requeridas para ser impresas en las etiquetas y la pared o flanco del neumático.
Yokohama asignó una calificación de Desgaste de 180 al neumático, ADVAN Neova AD08R cuando fue introducido al mercado, sin embargo, información posterior sobre el desgaste reveló que la calificación de Desgaste es 200.
Debido a que algunos reglamentos de competencias ahora requieren calificaciones de desgaste UTQG más altas, Yokohama decidió que es un buen momento para cambiar la calificación del ADVAN Neova AD08R y así reflejar con mayor exactitud su capacidad.
*Para ayudar a los conductores confirmar el neumático que recibirán, hemos identificado los neumáticos incluyendo su grado de Desgaste en la sección de especificaciones del producto.
Al igual, que los neumáticos para competencias de automovilismo, los neumáticos de Rendimiento Extremo Para Verano han evolucionado, la construcción y el compuesto de caucho han sido afinados para maximizar la tracción y rendimiento del neumático con un rango específico de las temperaturas ambientales. Es por esto, y a diferencia de neumáticos menos afinados a temperaturas ambientales, que el ADVAN Neova AD08 R, debe ser guardado y manejado a temperaturas superiores a los -10 grados Celsius (14 grados Fahrenheit), para mantener su rendimiento y evitar daños al neumático.

Everyone must be too busy driving.
BFGoodrich introduced the Extreme Performance Summer category with their g-Force T/A KD. Its dry traction and handling approached the level of R-compound tires, but stayed street friendly. To reestablish itself in the category, they launched the g-Force Rival to rival the dry performance of other category tires.
Does it?
