Yokohama ADVAN Sport V105 

I up-sized on my 340 from 225/45 to 235/45 and really debated between MPS4S, RE11, and these. Price made the decision, and so did being just a little different from everyone else. I drive 44 miles a day with 34 of it on highways and for that, these have been great. They're comfortable even when getting into higher speeds when I leave for work super early. They're confidence inspiring in wet conditions, too, which I wasn't fully expecting. Treadwear has been fine. Unfortunately while getting serviced a tech lightly curbed my car and it did take a small hunk of tire which is shocking for how little damage there was to the rim but how can I be mad when someone drove into a curb. For my spirited "breakfast club" drives through NNJ and Upstate NY twisties, these have been great. They are very solid, not great, but very solid with steering responsiveness and when they're hot and a little gooey, they will absolutely pull me hard out of every curve in a nicely controlled manner. I'd for sure try the new Advans just because of these.

Replace Conti procontact all seasons with about 25k on them with these summer tires, not a fair apples to apples comparison. The conti's were okay for normal driving, but turn it up a notch and traction quickly disappeared especially in the rain. With a V6 and DSG, even on moderate acceleration on dry pavement, at least one wheel would spin tripping the traction control which cut power. This can be dangerous when you are trying accelerate into traffic. Anyway, these new A105's cured the problem. Much better in the rain, solid handling in the dry, much quicker steering response. Even in normal driving they give the driver a feeling of confidence. Doesn't quite make the Passat a sports sedan, but definitely improves the handling over OEM's. Also I purchased winter tires and wheels from Tirerack which again proved much better in the snow than the OEM AS tires. What sealed the deal was tirerack's price was almost $100. cheaper per tire than any other distributor that I could find. Not sure why, but I'm not complaining.

Installed at CAR X, looks like they balanced tires not quite well there. But tires behave fine so far, better wet driving and less noise, comparing to previous set of BF Goodrich High Performance all season I got prior. Will review later again.

The tires grip very well on dry roads and 0-60 times have improved. The tire allows me to maintain good corner speed when I want to drive the car in a spirited manner. I am pleased with the tire and I would purchase another set for my car. My car is a daily driver and mostly sees hwy and city driving.

Nice performance tire, value priced, excellent dry road handling characteristics!

I’ve come from having owned 2 sets of Super Sports and 2 sets of P4S’s on my 335i so I know the Michelin tires well to say the least. These Yokohama’s are better in ever aspect accept for initial steering response. They are slightly slower but once into a corner are absolutely amazing. 0-60 times have also dropped .2 ths because of the increased traction these offer. I feel like these won’t last as long as the P4S’s but for the close out price I purchased them at I don’t care lol. If you can pick a set up in your size just do it. No regrets

Great tire for the price. Has a good look, quiet ride and butter smooth on a smooth road.

Very pleased with these after replacing a set of Continental ContiSport Contact 3 tires. The Contis had incredible drone so the Yoko's were a massive improvement in road noise. They also handle much better - great balance of firmness and directional stability. They have wide grooves in them so puddles are not a challenge. They won't be long mileage tires with the low treadwear rating, but they seem to be lasting well after 2k and don't seem to be as sticky / rubbery as the Contis based on the fewer numbers of pebbles they pick up. Dry traction is great and I have not been able to break them loose without really trying. They also look great and one of my favorite parts is they have a beefy squared up sidewall (not tapered like some) so they actually come over my rim edges and provide true rim guard protection unlike the little strip Conti puts on.

Very happy with these tires - stick great and really cannot single out any fault with them, wet or dry. Was pleasantly surprised with how quiet and smooth they are. Did not buy them for that so it's an unexpected bonus. Treadwear seems normal - have 5,000 miles on them thus far and they don't seem to be wearing faster than I'd expect for the treadwear rating. I'd guess I can safely get well past 20k at this point. They also are robust on the sidewall and come past my rim to protect the edge, unlike so many other tires. Would not hesitate to buy again.

ADVAN Sport V105 is a great compromise between performance and street use. The dry grip is exceptional which allows me to go flat out through long corners where previously I had to lift off. The finger width wide water evacuation grooves are functional with no signs of hydroplaning even at highway speeds in torrential downpour. Side walls are stiff for sharp cornering and excellent tactile feel of where the steering center is. The drawback would be ride comfort but it was not something that really bothered me considering I am on coilover suspension. The tread wear seems to be decent, I anticipate about 12k total of spirited driving for the life of the tire. Only real negative I noticed was the fuel economy dropping by 3mpg however with the wider contact patch and soft compound I think it is fair. Overall solid choice for those who can't quite afford Michelin PSS but want better tread wear than Continental Extreme Contact Sport.
