π‘ Is the Yokohama ADVAN NEOVA AD09 245/40R20 a Good Tire?
The Yokohama ADVAN NEOVA AD09 245/40R20 is a summer extreme performance tire designed for sports cars and performance sedans. It delivers exceptional dry grip and responsive handling with adequate wet performance thanks to its race-derived compound and directional tread design. Ride comfort is firm with noticeable road noise, prioritizing performance feedback over refinement. Tread life is below average for daily driving due to its track-focused compound formulation. Rated Good by TireRack based on 68 consumer surveys, it excels for track days and spirited driving but is not winter-rated and wears quickly under normal commuting conditions. Currently priced from $350.99, it is available through major online tire retailers.
