Yokohama Advan Sport V105 Owner Reviews

Review this tyre

What owners say summarised from 37 reviews

Drivers generally describe the Yokohama Advan Sport V105 as a sporty, confidence-inspiring UHP tyre with strong dry grip, sharp steering/turn-in, and predictable handling (including occasional track use). Many also report very good wet grip for a summer tyre, though performance is often said to be more temperature- and tread-depth-sensitive than newer top-tier rivals. The most consistent drawbacks are a firm ride over rough surfaces and a tendency toward higher perceived road noise on some vehicles, with repeated warnings that snow/freezing conditions are not its strength.

I have a 2015 Chrysler 200s. the car feels grate on dry roads but , on wet roads between 40 to 65 mh the rear starts to vibrate. I have to assume that the tires are starting to hydroplane a little. Am I wrong?

1. Good grip for the type of tires in both the wet and dry. 2. Low noise high grip 3. Soft compound, easy to heat up for more grip. But also easy to get slightly melted in high technical course 4. Used on gymkhana and many spirited run on canyons and touge. 5. Lasted 8000km about 5000miles in my type of driving.

Run on my Jaguar S type for the last couple of years. Fronts still on from Dec 2017 and 10,000 miles on them and still a little left 4.5mm as for the rears on my second set with the first set lasting only 6000 miles. Second set down to 4mm left after 4000 miles. Will be looking for something else.

Car is e60 535d sport package. I have those tires on rear axle, compared to nankangs i get from previous owner its day and night comparision. In my prewious e60 i had goodyears and later continentals. In comparision with contis i would say they are rather similar in performance but contis(cs3 or 4,dont remember) wear out faster.
As for goodyears they in may experience they dont give much grip. As for v105 they are exelent, great grip in dry, realy impresive grip on wet(which was realy suprising). Handling is also realy good, road feedback is kinda weird but its propably due to car being just executive limusine not a sport car but overal with this kind of tires it rides and feels like sport car ;)

I have been running these tyres on my Lexus IS200 for 2 years now, covering around 20.000 kilometers.
Very spirited driving and I have also used these tyres on track days. When warm these tyres grip very well (both wet and dry) and have never surprised me. Sidewall is stiff and response is also good.
These tyres do not work well in freezing conditions and/or snow. When standing for a week, they need 2 miles of driving before they are round again.
Overall I am very satisfied with these tyres and they suit my sporty driving style.

Using them for 20.000 miles so far and still in excellent conditions. Tons of grip in dry and very good in the wet, in any case very easy to spot the limit so you can react to troubles in time.
Had to drive on light snow too and still safe enough, obviously without taking risks.
Fuel consumption average, bit of noise on the motorway but still not annoying, all considered very recommended tyres.

I have drove on this tyre for 2500 miles now
Mostly inside town and also on some bumpy roads around
The main positive thing is the dry traction + noise is better than most the other tyres and both mentioned points giving this tyre edge over otjer brands

Previously had Pirelli's. Never rated them on any car Ive owned (RX8 and Megane 250 especially).

After wearing in and clocker over 5000miles, I still have around 5cm of tread. The car feels grippy and planted; alot more grip on the front. I can feel the car much better.

In the wet they stop very well, Never experienced aquaplanning but I drive accordingly.

I was impressed in the snow too; felt fantastic, never got stuck or made me lose confidence.

Highly rate these, Ill be putting these on my Juke Nismo RS soon.
