Tires are designed specifically for different vehicles and wheel sizes. Tell us about your vehicle or the specific size you want so we can help find the right tires for you.

The ADVAN Apex V601 is Yokohama's Max Performance Summer tire for drivers of sports cars, performance sedans, and sporty coupes who want a tire that builds on the lessons learned from five decades of performance innovation. The ADVAN Apex V601 is designed to deliver maximum grip and precision handling in warm dry and wet conditions, so like all Max Performance Summer tires, it is not intended to be serviced, stored nor driven in near- and below-freezing temperatures, through snow or on ice.

A high-grade, micro silica tread compound is molded into the ADVAN Apex V601's asymmetric pattern. Optimized groove angles are designed to minimize noise for a quieter ride, and the rounded rib profile promotes even contact pressure with the road to reduce uneven tread wear. The wide, outboard rib features very low void for maximum lateral grip, and the solid center rib creates constant contact with the road for high-speed stability and precise handling. The narrow, outer groove helps dissipate the heat generated under aggressive cornering, and the three inside circumferential grooves effectively evacuate water from the contact patch to resist hydroplaning.

The single-ply, rayon casing of the ADVAN Apex V601 features a high turn-up, creating a two-ply sidewall for enhanced lateral stability and handling. Two wide, steel belts support the tread and are reinforced with two spirally wound, nylon cap plies.

Note: Tires exposed to temperatures of 20 degrees F (-7 degrees C) or lower must be permitted to gradually return to temperatures of at least 40 degrees F (5 degrees C) for at least 24 hours before they are flexed in any manner, such as by adjusting inflation pressures, mounting them on wheels or using them to support, roll or drive a vehicle.

Flexing of the specialized rubber compounds used in Max Performance Summer tires during cold-weather use can result in irreversible compound cracking. Compound cracking is not a warrantable condition because it occurs as the result of improper use or storage. Tires exhibiting compound cracking must be replaced.

...Handles great in snow unless it's excessively deep (over 6") even after all these years; my road is often poorly plowed but I never had a problem as long as it's packed down somewhat.

50K miles after 5 years, still had 6/32" left, but in the last year I've had a couple of punctures and finally had one that was unrepairable (too close to sidewall). Could have gotten at least another year or two out of these otherwise. Handles great in snow unless it's excessively deep (over 6") even after all these years; my road is often poorly plowed but I never had a problem as long as it's packed down somewhat.

...Quiet, good grip, good in pretty much every condition I've had them in.

Bought these on a sale four and a half years ago, didn't have a clue if they would be good tires or not, but at $100 per corner I took a chance. Very impressed. Narrower/taller than the stock tires, steering response is SLIGHTLY slower, but this ain't a Miata. At 40k+, there is still a lot of tread left. I'll probably replace them Fall of this year before the snow hits the Cascades. Quiet, good grip, good in pretty much every condition I've had them in.

...They handle great and are properly quiet..

These are my second set of these exact tires in 8 years.. and again I'm not disappointed one bit. So much so that I'll be looking for them again when I replace this set[ providing i still have this vehicle] or they come sized to fit its replacement. They handle great and are properly quiet..

...The road noise is almost non-existent, grip and handling is fabulous!...

Love, Love, Love these tires! This is my second set after many miles on the first. The road noise is almost non-existent, grip and handling is fabulous! I live in snow country, they get me through just fine. I don't off road with my truck so can't help there. If you want a great, quiet tire on highway and city, minimal gravel roads and get through the snow - these are it.
