Yokohama Advan Neova AD08 Tyre - On 996 C4S or Turbo

[Mankers]

So its time to change tyres, i'm using conti's at the mo, on standard rims. The car is a 996 C4S with X51.
I have started doing more track days and the car is not a daily driver.

Has anyone had any experience of these tyres on a 996? Comments welcome please. They are slightly more expensive than the conti's but I am not worried about that. Wear rates are also of no concern as my annual mileage is not that high. Are they worth a go?

Cheers.

I considered this for my 4S a while ago, a link to the thread is

StuB had reported success on them with a turbo.

In the end I just ran my normal PS2 for track work and they went fine - bit of blistering but that rubbed off after a half day back on road hooning.

Epic tyre, will transorm your car on both road and track, good in wet too when warm.

I'm using them on a 350bhp Impreza p1 as a summer tyre and they are fabulous.

Definitely worth it. I had them on my 996GT3, and they were very good othe road in all conditions, not a noisy tyre like R888s. On track they were very good too. Not ultimately as grippy as Cups or R888s but very good nonetheless and I assume a step up from more standard road tyres. Also they last a very long time, amazing given the grip level.

Go for it, you will not be disappointed. And shop around for the best prices. I got mine from Demon Yweeks as they were cheapest by some way at the time.

Cheers all, looks like I might give them a try then, Demon Tweeks look like they have a good price as well especially with the VAT off!

Mine are still impressing me.
