2014 EVO Max Performance Summer Tyre Test P4 of 10

The Yokohama Advan Neova AD08 has two EVO results, with its clearest praise coming from the 2014 Max Performance Summer Tyre Test. It finished fourth of ten in 225/45 R17, and EVO singled out dry performance, describing it as a track-day tyre that also worked well on the road. Wet performance received a more qualified assessment as acceptable rather than a matching dry-weather strength.
The earlier 2010 EVO Tyre Test placed it sixth of nine in 205/45 R17. That lower overall finish gives a less favourable result, but there are no detailed discipline findings to explain the difference or establish a recurring weakness. The record supports dry-road and track-day ability more clearly than a complete account of its wet-weather balance, comfort or longevity.
