Way softer than the Pilot Sport 4s, makes the car (W204 C63) go from racecar like handling to boat like handling.
the grip seems great but they feel super soft and bendy, I have no confidence in straight line stability and I get super sweaty hands above 250 km/h.
I also got a set in 225/40 R18 for a Focus Mk2 ST and while they work better there, I still just don't like how they feel.
I wouldn't buy them again.

Fitment comes from each tyre's manufactured size list, and the sizes are the ones drivers reported when they reviewed. Check the size, load index and speed rating on your own doorplate before buying - a size a previous owner ran is not always the size your car left the factory on.

What Mercedes Benz C63 AMG drivers say
The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
I'm about to start season 3 on the same set of 870P's at the front (16,000 km approx) and a fresh set at the back (I had to change them for reasons unrelated to wear). Grip on snow and ice is just amazing, considering this is on an RWD with nearly 500hp... Compared to my summer tires, I find the road feel a bit softer - interestingly, more comfortable - but steering is not as sharp. Not a surprise you would tell me... Grip on dry will set off ESP on gear changes when foot to the floor. On a spirited drive with a bit more caution, the difference with summer tires is not that much. On snow / ice the feeling is safe and predictable. I avoided high snow depths but this car is my daily and will take the highway in *whatever* weather conditions. I have not tried really adverse conditions in narrow winter mountain roads, for general purpose driving in winter these tires are almost too good :)
I use this on my W204 C63 and they are great. Love the thick sidewall and even though some websites say this is a summer tyre, I think it handles great in the wet even on London roads. Very comfortable and in the dry they stick well. My car is pushing 520 horsepower to the rear wheels and these grip extremely well. A lot of consumers dont know that KORMORAN is a company owned my Michelin and are not some super budget company. I have been using kormoran on my C63 for the last 4 years and change rears about twice a year. For front tyres I change them roughly once every 2 years.
All in all I would highly recommend these tyres
All in all I would highly recommend these tyres
On a dry sunny day once heated up there unbeatable, unfortunately the only place you can get triple 8s warm is on a track. If you live in a built up area and do the odd blast then the tires will fail to perform the way they’re meant too.
I drive a performance rear wheel drive car and in the wet there useless. Stick to a good all round road tire.

The tyre is definitely capable round a twisty country road and mountain passes. Even in the rain with a torque-y rwd car, it is manageable.
But it sucks so bad when driving in town or commuting daily. The road noise is terrible and the occasional droning is head splitting.
Not to mention the rock hard sidewall ruins the ride of the C63s even with suspension on comfort settings. After 17k miles bit the bullet and switched to Conti SC7s; much smoother ride with similar levels of grip
Had on a C63s Coupe and I find them to be absolutely horrible. Zero grip. Zero everything.
Grip in dry is good.
At 4mm onwards, wet grip deteriorates badly, it's dangerous, you would not go 100km/h, only 80km/h to be safe, even then, you'll prefer not to use them.
Wears quickly compared to other tyres like Potenza RE002 & Re003, Pilot Sport 3 & 4, Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3.
They are soft, and stone sticks to tyres, even in basement carpark where no tyres has ever picked up anything, this tyre will stick any stone to it, as a result, i get lots of stones being flicked up and causing lots of paint chips under rear bumper, side skirt, even rear arch from front tyres flicking stone down the side of the car.
Soft but not as much grip as Pilot Sport 4 which aren't soft like this and last longer.
These tyres are also not comfortable at all, at 4mm and below, it's downright harsh, you feel like you're in a racecar, running over cateyes, you think you run over a sharp stone that is 5x higher.
Replaced my stock Dunlop Sports MAXX that were cracking on the side walls after 20K miles as was noisy.
This particular model Yokohama advan V105 has much better grip, less tire noise and softer. Wear seems reasonably better than Dunlop and the other tires I have tried before.
Very comfortable - Poor performance
Before using the tyres, I was told Continental Sport Contact 6's are not premium tyres, I now agree with the statement.
The tyres dry grip was sufficient, progressive and there was sufficient road feedback to communicate when the tyre was at the limit. However compared to a PS4, PS4s, Potenza S007, there is less grip and much less feedback. The tyre sidewall feels overly soft and the tyre moves around too much under load. The treadblock feels very soft and wobbly compared to a PS4 or even a Dunlop SportMaxx RT2, this makes it hard to precisely place the car on track or spirited driving. The tyre is very comfortable and quiet for a 'sport' tyre.
I have always had “performance” cars from Porsche 911, cayman R, Bmw x5m(2017) to name few, so I’ve tried quite a lot of Tyres. I have had for 9 months a 18plate C63s coupe, best car I have ever had! Had Contis to start, but replaced Michelin PS4’s and these tyres are exceptional, 10 out of 10, these tyres are in my opinion unbeatable
