The ADVAN Sport is Yokohama's Max Performance Summer tire developed for the drivers of sophisticated sports cars, sports coupes and high performance sedans. The ADVAN Sport is designed to combine a high degree of comfort, high-speed durability, and a high level of traction in dry and wet conditions. Like all summer tires, the ADVAN Sport is not intended to be driven in near-freezing temperatures, through snow or on ice.
The ADVAN Sport features a silica blend tread compound developed to provide grip that's less affected by ambient temperatures. The compound is molded into an asymmetric tread pattern featuring five main ribs including a massive, outboard shoulder zone to blend handling with ride and noise comfort. Four wide, circumferential grooves help water flow through the footprint to resist hydroplaning.
The tire's internal structure features two wide steel belts reinforced by spirally wound nylon cap plies to provide strength and uniform ride quality, while the sidewalls are tuned to resist lateral deflection and provide predictable handling.
El neumático ADVAN Sport de Yokohama pertenece al segmento de Máximo Rendimiento Para Verano y fue desarrollado para los conductores de autos deportivos sofisticados, cupé deportivo y sedán de alto rendimiento. El diseño del ADVAN Sport combina niveles altos de confort, durabilidad y tracción sobre superficies secas y mojadas. Como todo neumático de verano, el ADVAN Sport, no fue diseñado para ser utilizado en temperaturas cercanas al nivel de congelación o superficies con hielo o nieve.
El ADVAN Sport posee un compuesto de caucho de sílice mezclado, que fue desarrollado para proporcionar un agarre que sea menos afectado por la temperatura ambiental. El compuesto de caucho es moldeado en un diseño asimétrico con cinco segmentos; el del hombro exterior, combina maniobrabilidad con confort y niveles bajos de ruido. Cuatro canales anchos circunferenciales se encargan de evacuar el agua, y así, resistir el deslizamiento en agua (hydroplaning) y aumentar la tracción en suelo mojado.
La estructura interna cuenta con dos correas anchas reforzadas con capas de nailon envuelto en espiral, proveen fortaleza al neumático y calidad al andar. Los flancos están diseñados para resistir la deflexión lateral producida al hacer contacto con la carretera y proveer una maniobrabilidad predecible.

Testing Dunlop's Latest Max Performance Summer Tire(03:37)
Max Performance Summer tires blend the latest technologies into a package that can maximize acceleration, braking and cornering power while remaining civilized enough for the daily commute or a night on the town.
The Sport Maxx TT is the newest from Dunlop in this category. It combines a motorsports-inspired tread compound with Touch Technology for enhanced tire-to-driver communication and Kevlar-reinforced sidewalls for handling. Has it maximized Max Performance? We found out when we compared it to three popular tires.
Customer surveys indicate the Continental ProContact GX SSR delivers outstanding dry traction (9-10 scores) and confident wet grip with strong hydroplaning resistance, fitting its Grand Touring All-Season role. Winter traction earns praise for snowy conditions, though ice performance shows occasional variability. Comfort receives high marks for smooth ride quality, though some note moderate road noise. Treadwear ratings are generally positive (7-10 range), with many customers reporting durable performance, though a few report faster wear. Balanced handling and responsive steering round out the tire's strengths, making it a reliable choice for drivers seeking year-round capability with emphasis on dry and wet road confidence.

What a difference tires can make! I replaced the stock Goodyear Eagle F1 with these Continental's. The ride is so much better, the noise level is almost non existent and the wet traction is amazing. No snow yet to test. Highly recommend you consider these tires!

...Wet traction is excellent. Hydroplane resistance is some of the best I've ever seen, and the wet traction is nothing short of impressive. Wet traction is probably the single most redeeming feature of these tires...
These are the O.E. tires for my vehicle. They are run-flat type tires, and the typical ride that comes along with that is there with these tires. They are not unbearably harsh like some other run-flats, but definitely harder riding than non run-flat tires that I've used. Noise is far worse than expected, and while they are whisper quiet on smooth asphalt, they are extremely noisy on new asphalt and any concrete sections.
Dry traction is decent, especially for a Grand Touring tire, but it isn't particularly responsive and has an ever-so-slight delay in turn-in feel. They do not inspire a lot of confidence when pushing them hard through a turn or on an off (or on) ramp, as the lateral grip just seems to fall away pretty quickly.
Wet traction is excellent. Hydroplane resistance is some of the best I've ever seen, and the wet traction is nothing short of impressive. Wet traction is probably the single most redeeming feature of these tires.
Light snow traction is pretty good. For 3 inches or less of snow, these do a decent job, especially slushy or wet snow. Deep snow traction is not as good. They will do an adequate job, but I would not call them confidence inspiring in for anything over 3 inches deep. Can say how they would do on ice, but on packed snow or powder, they should be driven with extra caution.
Can't speak to wear, since they only have 3500 miles on them at this point. They aren't showing unusual wear and don't seem to be wearing too fast so far.

...I have been surprised by how well they have performed in both a summer and rather extreme winter environments.
These tires came with the vehicle. I have been surprised by how well they have performed in both a summer and rather extreme winter environments. The wear seems to be quite good as they have lost 2/32 of tread since new so I anticipate they should have a tread life of approximately 40000 miles. The tires are quiet for the most part but can get loud on some concrete road surfaces. These tires provide a smooth ride even with the more rigid side walls of the run flat tire. Would recommend these tires for anyone who requires run flat tires on their vehicle.

These tires are very comfortable, low noise and perform very well in wet and dry conditions for summer and fall. I have driven them the past 2 weeks in snow and ice conditions in Chicago and they do fairly well in light and moderate snow with some ice. They are not as good in snow as dedicated snow tires, which I have owned before with similar cars, but certainly passable . In fact I have usually purchased dedicated winter tires and I may forgo with this tire and use them year around. From a practical standpoint, there are no run flat options available on tire rack for winter tires that fit this car and would have to go with Nokian which is not offered here to make the change.

...Steering is response and traction is very good in the rain and light snow. I have also been impressed with how they handle packed snow and slightly icy conditions. I would say that combined with them and AWD, I have a false sense of security in adverse weather conditions...
These were the OEM tires on my car, which I have owned since 2014. I kept buying these tires because they are what Mercedes originally used, but after 5 years, I will be moving on. The low profile, run flat design makes them very rough as tread starts to wear. I feel every bump in the road and they are noisy. Because of their design, they are also prone to bubbles. Since buying the car and replacing the tires with these OEMs, I have had a blowout on the highway (caused by glass from an accident that I actively tried to avoid the day before), a cracked rim, a bubble, and feathering on 3 tires. One feathering incident was the rear drive side. I had physical damage to my suspension probably due to potholes when I had my car serviced about 3K miles ago. The set that is on the front currently are feathered as well. I need alignments constantly because I am in the northeast US where we get snow and ice. Potholes and rough roads are common up here thanks to snow removal. These tires do not handle those well because of the low profile, run flat design. Lastly, they're not easy to find in tire shops. I have to drive my car an hour away to a tire shop that has them because tire shops generally don't stock them due to the cost.
When the tires are new, they are still a bit rough but handle very well. Steering is response and traction is very good in the rain and light snow. I have also been impressed with how they handle packed snow and slightly icy conditions. I would say that combined with them and AWD, I have a false sense of security in adverse weather conditions. I have never once lost traction, even with worn tread.
I can not recommend these tires to anyone who drives in an area prone to potholes. I have spent a few thousand dollars on tires and issues related to them. Four different tire shops have told me that it will just constantly happen because of the shape of the tire. They give my car an aggressive sporty look, but my warranty is expiring. Time to move on.

I put these on my BMW and love them. Very good treadwear. The biggest problem with them going bald quickly is the car's alignment and setup. My 535i sedan is not an aggressive or sports car. The alignment is very neutral and I'm getting very even and very long lasting wear on these. Will buy them again if they stay the most affordable option.

I own a Mercedes C300 and they came with Continental ProContact GX Tyres. The tread life on them lasted me 27477 miles before my rear tyres reached the 3/32. My rear tyres are R18/40/245, and my front tyres are R18/45/225. My front wear was slightly less at 4/32 thread life left. Overall, I did not face any major issues with these tyres. I would have expected them to last at least 35000 miles, but considering I cannot rotate the tyres, I think the tyre life is fairly good. Just replaced them with the same tyres.
