Performance Analysis
Drawn from 5 tests. Updated September 2, 2025.
Across five summer tests, the Yokohama Advan Fleva V701 delivers solid dry braking and competitive noise levels, but struggles consistently in wet performance, especially wet braking and handling. Its average overall position of 14.6 reflects mid-to-lower tier outcomes when full handling and aquaplaning metrics are included. Value and rolling resistance are mid-pack to below-average, and while wear is not class-leading, it is acceptable in some tests.
