| The ADVAN Neova AD07 is the Extreme Performance
Summer tire member of Yokohama's global family of ADVAN performance
tires developed for sports car, sports coupe and performance sedan
enthusiasts who love sport driving. Used as Original Equipment (O.E.)
on the Lotus Elise, the ADVAN Neova AD07 is designed to provide high
levels of traction, responsive handling and driving control in dry
and wet road conditions. The ADVAN Neova AD07 is not intended to be
driven in cold temperatures or in snow. The ADVAN Neova AD07 molds
a "fine particle" Micro Silica (MS) tread compound (to provide
greater road surface adhesion) into a directional tread pattern that
features massive tread blocks with rounded edges to increase
cornering stability and steering response while promoting more even
wear. Five large circumferential and multiple directionally aligned
lateral grooves resist hydroplaning and enhance wet traction. The
tire's structure includes two wide steel belts reinforced by
spirally wound nylon to provide strength and uniform ride quality
and high-speed capability while the sidewalls are tuned to resist
lateral deflection providing handling control and cornering
stability.
Like the motorsports tires this Extreme Performance street tire
has evolved from, the ADVAN Neova AD07 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 tires must be used and stored at temperatures above -10
degrees Celsius (14 degrees Fahrenheit) to maintain its performance
and avoid tire damage.
