Review on Yokohama Advan Sport V105 225/55 R17 105Y summer by Boguslawa Kencler ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A good quality product, I rate this purchase perfectly.

They were bought to replace the regular Pirelli Pzero, after its last generation was discontinued. Due to the rare size on the rear axle - 285/30/19 - the choice was quite small, between the old versions of the Continental (which were immediately dismissed), oak bridges and PSS Michelin. I looked at specialized sites with reviews and reviews and settled on these: the homologation of tires for my particular car model and the outrageous cost of PSS at 26k per piece for the rear axle at that time played their part. I really wanted to try the Pilot Sport 4s, but to this day they are not available in the right size. In general, I left the season on v105 and am very satisfied - indeed, as the British write on tyrereviews, it is quite a reasonable alternative to PSS. It holds the road amazingly, when warmed up, it is two heads higher than the Pzero, you don’t even need to look at the speedometer to understand that the Hong Kong sash has become much faster. Rubber stopped collecting all the screws from the road, and I stopped being a regular customer at RLD, which is also nice. It's too early to look at wear, it looks like new, but I think that everything is quite within reason. Water is also diverted better than Pirelli or Dunlop. In general, a very good UHP rubber, considering its money - just excellent, in terms of price-performance ratio - perhaps the most successful in my memory. There is exactly one significant drawback - it is really noisy, it makes noise in any condition, on any surface, it’s definitely stronger than its counterparts from Michelin, Continental, Pirelli or Dunlop, but I’m ready to forgive it for its merits, since I often drive with music.

Pros
  • Speed, handling and tenacity are surprisingly quite on par with default UHP rubber manufacturers like Pirelli, Michelin or Continental. Durable - do not catch hernias and wear acceptable. With the drainage of water, everything is also fine.
Cons
  • Noisy, it's true. It is clear that the low profile, it is clear that conditionally "sporty" - but the noise is noticeably stronger than analogues. Noticeable difference in handling between warm and cold states.
