Yokohama Advan Sport V105 225/45 R17 91 W RPB, MO

Having used Yokohama's top of the range AD08s (great for trackdays - useless in the wet or on bumpy roads), I wanted something a little more flexible and suited to general road use. The price of the 105s was good and the dry grip is excellent while the wet grip is decent. However, they don't have precise steering response of the AD08s. I can forgive that - after all, this is a tyre designed to be more suited to the road. However, they fall down in other areas too, being very noisy, with a poor ride quality especially as they wear down. And boy - do they wear quickly - faster than my AD08s! On the basis of my experience, I would hesitate to recommend these tyres - just too many compromises for a road tyre Read more Collapse

I've always had a Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2 but then I found Yokohama v105 which are cheap 4 new tyres for £ 200. For me, goodyear lover, it's so hard to change my mind, but they are beautiful in the car and winter is coming soon, they say, and I don't think I even got mileage after good years, I had over 20,000 miles. in late summer they stick and fall, but may not be a little louder than 72dB. They do well with rural Essex lanes. These are good tyres I recommend to anyone with a sports car. As a sport-driver I'm so impressed Read more Collapse

I bought these tires with a skeptical attitude, however, I was pleasantly surprised. Excellent handling on dry and wet roads. You can quickly enter a turn without fear of falling, moreover, are fairly quiet and comfortable. With a clear conscience, I recommend - no one should complain about these. I will only add that my opinion is based on my feelings after driving on these tires on 250000 kilometers. I have not noticed any signs of wear. My opinion has not changed. Read more Collapse

This is the second time with branded tyres in this car. My first Yokohama Advan Sport (225/45/17 ZR) stayed durable for approx. 80 000 km. Fact that a tyre broke forced me to buy new Advan Sport V105 222/45/17 ZR 94Y. Very good behavior in bends at higher speeds !!! Recommendable on both dry and wet surfaces. Read more Collapse

After fitting, I was quite impressed, especially in the wet - they grip very well. I can see a slight increase in fuel consumption compared to the old tyres and they are slightly noisier, but this is fully compensated for by the very good grip. Read more Collapse
