The ADVAN Sport V105 is Yokohama's Max Performance Summer tire developed for the drivers of high-powered sports cars, sporty coupes and performance sedans. Based on technology fostered through participation in motorsports and development at the Nurburgring Circuit in Germany (one of the world's most grueling race/test tracks), the ADVAN Sport V105 combines an increase in agile handling with a more comfortable ride when compared to its predecessor by featuring precision-tuned materials and structures. Like all summer tires, the ADVAN Sport V105 is not intended to be driven in near-freezing temperatures, through snow or on ice.

ADVAN Sport V105 tires mold a Microsilica and Orange Oil enhanced tread compound that helps the tread rubber remain pliable to improve tire adhesion and grip. The compound is molded into an asymmetrical tread design in which wide outboard shoulder blocks and circumferential ribs work together to promote dry traction and handling. Variable width circumferential grooves and asymmetric lateral notches help reduce noise and promote water flow through the footprint to resist hydroplaning.

The tire's internal structure features two rigid steel belts reinforced by spirally wound overlapping nylon across the tread with three layers covering the belt edges in the shoulders to combine high-speed durability and responsive handling. Yokohama's new motorsports-inspired Matrix Body Ply Structure technology features a rayon body ply that is angled in the sidewalls to maintain lateral rigidity while reducing tire weight to deliver more agile handling and a more comfortable ride.

*Yokohama BluEarth branding is used to identify an ecologically friendly series of tires that are designed to deliver environmentally, human and socially friendly solutions for drivers and their vehicles. Specific sizes utilizing BluEarth Technology are identified on the Sizes tab, as well as on the tire's Specs tab.

...They have wide grooves in them so puddles are not a challenge...

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.

...These tires are quiet, smooth and outstanding in the wet...

I'm very picky about my tires and I have to say, I've never owned a more responsive set of tires in my life.
These tires are quiet, smooth and outstanding in the wet.
At about 50,000 miles the tread was almost at the wear bars and I noticed them getting a little loud but at this point in their life I felt like I was on "bonus miles" so it really didn't bother me.
Can't say enough good stuff about these tires other than get some, you will be very happy.

...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...

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.

Can't believe they have so much dry traction.. No tire squeeling on high speed corners and it really takes a lot to tax these tires... Much stickier than the two other tires i've tired on this car...

Can't believe i'm the first to review this awesome tire! I've tried the Continental 5P/Michelin Supersports/and now the V105's. These tires met and exceeded all my expectations. Can't believe they have so much dry traction.. No tire squeeling on high speed corners and it really takes a lot to tax these tires. Although they wear fast that is to be expected from a tire with this kind of treadwear rating. Much stickier than the two other tires i've tired on this car. If you have the funds and can afford this tire, I would rank this above the Contis and the Michelin. The Michelins were honestly a small let down, but considering the rebate I got on them it wasn't that bad of a deal. I got my set of Yokos for about 740 or so and paid another 40 to get the m installed. Overall, for 800 bucks idk what other tire i could use that would excel in both dry and wet conditions without getting a track tire or even lower tread wear rated tire. Enjoy guys this thing is a big step above the old Advan Sport which I had on my Nismo 370z.

...quiet and smooth they are. Did not buy them for that so it's an unexpected bonus...

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.

...Very quiet for a high perf. tire. Soft ride, but also feel grippy (gooey?) and they do communicate well. A little slow to respond to steering, but that makes them a little nicer on the highway...

Just to be clear right off the bat, i bought these because they were cheap and the reviews seemed to indicate that they were at least an upgrade from the dreadful Pirelli All-Seasons my car came with. Also, I have a 2nd set of wheels with RE71R Bridgestones that I use exclusively for autocrossing, but also drive me to and from events so I knew what the car felt like with other tires on it before I bought these Yokohamas.

With that out of the way, these things have far exceeded my expectations. I only have a couple thousand miles or so on them. Commuting with a long weekend road trip to teach an autocross school in Mississippi where I did run them around the course to check. Overall they are great to live with every day. Very quiet for a high perf. tire. Soft ride, but also feel grippy (gooey?) and they do communicate well. A little slow to respond to steering, but that makes them a little nicer on the highway. They don't follow every groove in the road. For the price I got them for they simply cannot be beaten. I drove in a brief rain storm where my wipers were on high for a bit. Absolutely not a hint of hydroplaning. If anything changes radically I'll update, but for now I have to say in my application I'm very satisfied.

...It has performed well with mild noise that has not increased over time, and treadwear has actually been better than expected for the performance level of the tire...

Although discontinued, the Yoko Advan V105 has been great for the E46. It has performed well with mild noise that has not increased over time, and treadwear has actually been better than expected for the performance level of the tire. Tires have plenty of cornering and braking grip on canyon roads (have not tested on track), and perform surprisingly well in wet conditions as well. One disadvantage I have noted is if these tires sit for over a week it can take several miles for the flat spotting and vibration associated to resolve.

...Even after a couple of donuts, burnouts, and general hooning the tires should easily last 20k miles when properly aired and rotated. My setup is square 20x9 so your mileage would vary if it is a staggered setup. I am also running factory camber which isn't terribly aggressive, but noticeable on the tire shoulders.

I've got about 5000 miles on these tires after a year. Car is only driven in weather above 40 degrees F, so I can't speak for cold weather driving.

Tires are quiet, responsive, and provide adequate grip. My only complaint is that the tread design with the wide high speed rib tends to "hunt" when driving over an uneven or imperfect surface. So if you're driving 80+ and come across a joint in the road that travels in your lane the tires will 100% grab it and not let go. Makes the car feel more like a metro train car with how aggressive it can take the wheel.

...The tread wear seems to be decent, I anticipate about 12k total of spirited driving for the life of the tire...

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.
