hmmm....I just shod my car with Yoko Advan Neova 16" but can't find info on it in the site you gave. Initial impressions are ok in the dry, responsive in the wet, braking & grip, but find the tyre walls a tad too soft when cornering hard. Any info on these tyres?

They must be a Malaysian brand name. Try comparing the tread patterns with the Yoko site.

hey Nick

Apparently Advan Neova model will not be marketed outside Japan until next year, so we must be the guinea pigs. Maybe thats why its not on the site. And - the AVS sport is actually already more than a yr old in Japan. True or not - beats me but its what I'm lead to believe.

There's loads of Japanese stuff that we don't see for years - if ever! Do you know which position in the Yoko range those tyres will be?
