Ceat SportDrive vs Yokohama Advan Sport V107

This head-to-head pits two ultra-high-performance summer tyres with very different priorities: the Ceat SportDrive versus the Yokohama Advan Sport V107. Across four shared professional tests in 225/40 R18 and 225/45 R18 sizes, the Yokohama consistently outperforms the Ceat in core safety metrics such as dry and wet braking and dynamic handling, often by meaningful margins of 5-10%. It regularly finishes near the front of the group, while the Ceat trends mid-to-lower pack.

While it might look like the Yokohama Advan Sport V107 is better than the Ceat SportDrive purely based on the higher number of test wins, tyres are very complicated objects which means where one tyre is better than the other can be more important in real world use.

Let's look at how the two tyres compare across multiple tyre test categories.

Key Strengths

  • Low rolling resistance and better fuel consumption
  • Strong projected wear and low abrasion (lower long-term cost)
  • Lower external noise/refinement
  • Better value score (lower price per performance)
  • Class-leading dry braking across tests
  • Consistently shorter wet braking distances
  • Better dry and wet handling confidence and stability
  • Competitive all-round performance near the front of test groups

Conclusion

If your priority is grip, precision and short stopping distances, the Yokohama Advan Sport V107 is the clear choice. It wins every dry and wet braking contest here (by roughly 5-10%) and leads the dynamic categories, translating to stronger safety margins and more confidence at the limit. Its downsides are higher rolling resistance and projected wear, plus a weaker value score. The Ceat SportDrive underperforms in wet and dry grip, but fights back with refinement, efficiency and cost-of-ownership. It is quieter, rolls easier, shows notably longer projected mileage (+31%), lower abrasion, and better fuel use, and it scores strongly on value. For everyday drivers prioritizing economy and comfort over ultimate performance, the Ceat can make sense-provided you accept its weaker wet and dry stopping capability. For spirited driving or safety-first buyers, the Yokohama is the safer, more capable bet.
Key Differences
  • Braking: Yokohama stops 5-11% shorter in dry and 6-10% shorter in wet across tests
  • Handling: Yokohama quicker in both dry and wet laps; Ceat trails notably in wet control
  • Aquaplaning: Generally better curved/overall for Yokohama; straight-line roughly even
  • Efficiency: Ceat has lower rolling resistance and better fuel use
  • Longevity: Ceat shows substantially higher projected mileage and lower abrasion
  • Value/Price: Ceat rated significantly better on value; Yokohama is pricier to buy and run

Footnote

This page has been developed using tyre industry testing best practices. This means we are only comparing tests which have had both tyres in the same test.

Why is this important? Tyre testing is heavily affected by things like surface grip levels and surface temperature, which means you can only compare values from the same day. During a tyre test external condition changes are calculated into the overall results, but it is not possible to calculate this between tyre tests performed on different days or at different locations.

As a result you will see other tests on Tyre Reviews which feature both the %s and %s, but as they weren't conducted on the same day, the results are not comparable.

Lots of other websites do this sort of tyre comparison, Tyre Reviews doesn't.
