Yokohama Tire Test
Read a interesting test Yokohama in Japan ran on a Kansai tuned VII with various Yokohama tires. They lapped it on a track with the stock A046 tires at 1'28"164 . The new Yokohama Advan Neova AD07 ran a 1'26"977. The old Neova ran a 1'29"203 lap time. All these tires were stock sized 235/45/17 on Yokohama RG wheels. They also ran the killer Advan A048 245/40/18 on a set of TCII wheels and lap times dropped to 1'24"649 
. Definately shows how great those A048's are also the differences going up in a size in rim and tire. Going to bring a set od those in from Japan next month hopefully. They aren't DOT rated so have to get them in carefully.

I read from a UK magazine that US' A046 is not as grippy as the UK's and Japan's version. Is this true?

Aluminum alloy road wheels are shod with 235/45ZR Advan A046 hi-grip tires developed specially for the U.S. market.
