Audi S3 Wet Road Confidence: Yokohama AD09 and Alignment
Quick answer
Wet-road confidence is affected by tyre condition, tread pattern, pressure, alignment and driver behaviour. This Audi S3 was fitted with 245/35R19 Yokohama ADVAN AD09 tyres and given a four-wheel alignment to support a clean baseline.
Why wet roads matter in Adelaide
Adelaide can go from long dry periods to slick wet roads. After rain, oil and dust can make intersections and roundabouts feel slippery. A performance car like an Audi S3 needs tyres with suitable tread depth, correct pressure and proper alignment.
Tyre choice is only one part
The Yokohama ADVAN Neova AD09 was selected for a more grip-focused setup. But no tyre removes the need for good maintenance. Pressure, tread depth, suspension condition and alignment still matter.
Alignment and wet confidence
If toe is out, the tyre can scrub and lose its clean contact with the road. If camber or rear tracking is not suitable, the car can feel nervous. Four-wheel alignment helps the car track more predictably, especially after fitting new tyres.

Because poor alignment can affect how consistently the tyre contacts the road.
