It also allows us to
support the desires of
drivers that own older cars
who can select a set of new tires featuring
the latest technology to upgrade their vehicle’s
performance, comfort and/or efficiency.
While everyone enjoys the excitement of taking delivery of a new
vehicle, or even buying a “new-to-you” used vehicle, most of us
are driving vehicles we’ve owned for years. For that matter, the
average age of cars and trucks on American roads is over ten
years old. But whether your car is 10 days, 10 months or 10 years
old, Tire Rack offers a variety of tires to complement what, where,
and how you drive.
So whether your car is new, or not so new, you can’t
choose the right tire if you don’t have choices.
Tire Rack endeavors to keep all of the latest tires in stock, some
of which are featured in this edition of Inside Track. This allows
us to do our part to keep drivers on the road if an Original Equipment (O.E.) tire on their new vehicle experiences road hazard or
Tire Rack stocks over a million tires in its six distribution centers (offering
one- to two-business day delivery to most locations in the United States).
That’s over 500 different tire lines and 600 different tire sizes stocked and
ready to ship to ensure drivers can choose the tires they need.
Specific sizes featuring low rolling resistance technology are identified as such on the SIZES tab, as well as on the tire’s SPECS tab on tirerack.com.

extreme performance summer*
Developed to: Excite sports car, sports coupe and performance sedan enthusiasts who have a
passion for fast and fun driving. Compared to its predecessor, the ADVAN Neova AD08 R (R for
new Revolution in street tire tread compounding) is designed to increase grip and improve handling
on dry and wet roads.
Design/Technology: Maintaining the extra-wide uniblock shoulder
design of its predecessor, the AD08 R’s new tread compound features
more carbon to increase dry grip and Micro Silica to enhance wet grip. A
Micromolecule polymer blend increases tread rigidity and resistance to
wear, while Yokohama’s Orange Oil Technology maximizes performance and
minimizes environmental impact by replacing some of the petroleum
oil traditionally used in tires with oil harvested from orange peels.
Construction: The internal structure includes two wide steel belts reinforced
by spirally wound nylon to provide strength and high-speed capability while the
sidewalls are reinforced with steel cord inserts to resist lateral deflection and
enhance control and cornering stability.

TESTING
PROGRAM
WE TRY
BE FORE
YOU BU Y
Tire Rack team members typically compare more tires in one testing
season than most people experience on their own vehicles in a lifetime. This
first-hand, back-to-back testing under controlled conditions allows our team
to offer expert recommendations based on how, what and where you drive. To
keep our evaluations consistent we use identical vehicles, routes and courses. For
that matter, the only things we intentionally change are the products being tested.
PERFORMANCE TEST TRACK DRIVES
It’s not just a test track…it’s truth serum for tires. The purposebuilt test track adjacent to our South Bend, IN headquarters
allows our team to experience how each product would behave
in an emergency situation on the road or during competition on
a track. Our team runs multiple laps of our test course to compare
the products’ contribution to steering response, handling, braking
and cornering capabilities at the limit.
REAL WORLD ROAD RIDES
Real World Road Rides take place on a 6.6-mile loop of public roads that
includes 65 mph expressway, 55 mph highway and 40 mph county roads that
showcase ride comfort, noise quality and handling competence in conditions
drivers face every day. We also measure vehicle fuel consumption during
approximately 500 miles of driving so we can compare the test tires’ influences
on fuel economy.
PANIC STOPPING TESTS
Life seldom depends on how fast you go but how quickly you stop can
really make a difference. To evaluate the contribution tires make, we conduct
straight-line braking tests to accurately measure stopping distances. We
stabilize the speed at 50 mph and hit the brakes hard enough to engage the
anti-lock braking system and bring the vehicle to a complete stop. We run
multiple stops on each tire and use a brake performance analyzer to quantify
the data and determine average stopping distances.
DRY AND WET ROAD CONDITIONS
Many of today’s tires deliver similar dry weather handling and performance,
but the real difference is often discovered when rain makes the roads slippery. Our test track features a sprinkler system that allows us to evaluate
traction, handling and braking distances under consistent wet road conditions. We also test tires in the snow when Mother Nature obliges and on the
ice of a nearby hockey rink.
JOIN US FOR A FEW LAPS!
www.tirerack.com/videos
SHARING WHAT WE’VE LEARNED
Following every Ride & Drive, our team’s evaluation of each product’s comfort
and performance is scored on a scale of one to ten, with ten being the highest.
Additionally, each driver’s lap times during the Performance Track Drive are
recorded with a competition lap timer and the fastest laps are averaged to
help quantify the tire’s performance capabilities on the track.
We have found that our team’s driving experience and insight
reflects that of our customers. They are a combination of
racers, autocrossers and enthusiasts whose evaluations
provide an excellent overview of the variety of products we
test. After all, experience really is the best teacher.

Tire Rack Street Survival
®
It's More Than Driving — It's About Living!
Tire Rack Street Survival®, a national non-profit teen driving program, teaches teens skills that will
help them stay alive behind the wheel. Teenagers learn from knowledgeable enthusiast driving
coaches how their actions govern a car’s responses, what the limits of their vehicles are and how
to avoid accidents entirely.
Open for Registration
To register for a Tire Rack Street Survival school
in your area (or request one) follow the links from
www.tirerack.com/streetsurvival or visit
www.streetsurvival.org.
Unlike traditional driver education programs based on classroom theory and simple vehicle
maneuvers, the Tire Rack Street Survival® program improves driver competence through challenging, hands-on experiences in real-world driving situations in a vehicle they know – their own.
Working with local members of the BMW Car Club of America, Sports Car Club of America,
Porsche Club of America and other like-minded enthusiast organizations, Tire Rack Street
Survival® utilizes local, knowledgeable volunteers to conduct a program that in 2013 will result
in over 100 days of instruction across the country.
Tire Rack is the Official Tire Retail
Partner of the SCCA and More!
The 2013 season marks Tire Rack’s 19th year as the title
sponsor of the National Sports Car Club of America (SCCA) Solo
program and our continued support of grassroots motorsports. It
also begins the Tire Rack’s designation as the “Official Tire Retail
Partner of the SCCA” and growing support through the additional
sponsorship of the “Tire Rack SCCA Starting Line” program and
the Club Racing program with the “Tire Rack Cup Award”.
The SCCA offers one of the most accessible and cost-effective
ways to experience the thrill of competing in a vehicle by simply
strapping on a helmet and buckling your seatbelt. The SCCA Solo
program separates cars into classes based on their performance
potential and offers driving enthusiasts over 1,200 local events
across the country to participate in.
Throughout the year the Tire Rack SCCA Solo National Tour brings
larger events to venues around the country all focused on the
“Tire Rack SCCA Championship Road to Lincoln” and the Tire
Rack SCCA Solo National Championship and ProSolo National
Championship held at the Lincoln Airpark in Lincoln, Nebraska—
the World’s Largest Motorsports Championships with nearly 1,200
competitors from across the country.
