Review on Yokohama ADVAN Sport V103 245/50 R18 100W summer by Andrey Popov ᠌

Good day. It's time to change the Yokohama ADVAN Sport V103 235/55 R18 100Y (hereinafter referred to as AS), which hardly lasted two seasons (36,000 km) on the Suzuki Grand Vitara. Looking ahead, I want to note that the rubber was worn out by more than half by 25,000 km. run. Having studied the Internet, reading reviews about all models: Continental ContiCrossContact (LX, Sport, UHP), Michelin (Latitude Cross, Latitude Tour HP), Yokohama Geolandar (H / T-S G051 and SUV G055), Bridgestone Dueler H / P Sport, Toyo Proxes T1 Sport, decided to take Yokohama: Geolandar H/T-S G051 235/60 R18. Yes, really - Two tires are two different cars! That is how different the behavior of the car becomes. AS for the entire period of operation, despite its many "shortcomings", which I actually consider the target orientation of these tires, they have not failed even once. There were funny situations, for example, when I got stuck in a super small, not deep puddle on a dirt road on the GV. Until now, I'm ashamed, I was pulled out by a friend on the VAZ-2106, with a vacation addressed to me and GV with relevant comments about the "gasket" and "not up to the jeep. " After this incident, I had to be careful and careful when driving off the asphalt. With asphalt (with 2022n asphalt), the same is not all smooth, the rolled longitudinal track at speeds up to 100-120 km. h makes the car “jump out” with a rearrangement, and sometimes very sharply, I got used to it over time. However, after 120 km. h . the behavior of the GV changed radically with increasing speed, the car “sticked” to the asphalt, allowing it to confidently drive turns, all the shortcomings of the coating disappeared somewhere. road and course. Before they were erased, in the rain I noticed that I was moving without limiting myself in speed. The rigid sidewall made it possible to safely run into curbs without being afraid of holes, to move on a flat tire without consequences, and punctures for AS are a frequent occurrence. In general, AS give excellent handling and confidence
