2017 summer tyre test. V701 placed 17th...but it definitely quiter than maxxis ipro victra. 205 45 17

Just changed all 4 for RM265+6% a pop at Weng heng Kemuning. 205/45/16

Swapped from Neova AD08R to Fleva, size 195/55/15 ... the sudden change in comfort is welcoming. But the handling, well, it's obvious when compared to the Neova considering I take most corners without braking. I have the AD08 on my STI for track, so the threshold grip I know it well.

Wet conditions under heavy rain, the Fleva performed remarkably great. Have not gone through deep puddles since I had it for the past week, so can't comment on hydroplaning. But it does give me great confidence when it rains heavily.

I've had 2 sets of S-Drive before, both times the sizes were 205/45/16 on my previous Jazz GE and the current Jazz GK, before I swapped to 15" Neova. Due to different profiles, I can't say whether S-Drive is more comfortable or not, but it does feel so.

I would say road noise is considerable lesser as compared to S-Drive, but the S-Drive had better grip that the Fleva at corners.

It's acceleration off the line is worse than the Neova, but that's to be expected. I find the tire flex a lot when corner, and I have to adjust my driving habit to suit.

Will feedback more after I run in more mileage on it.

Again, I stress that due to 205 vs 195 and 45 vs 55 profiles, it's an assessment that's not entirely accurate.

Ask a somewhat noob question...

Soft or stiffer sidewalls better for high speed cornering?

I using 205/50/16 Advan Fleva...just now high speed cornering at 90-100km/h, the rubber is screaming

I pump 34 front 32 back...Honda City 2014

Any got price for v701 - 225/45/18 n 215/45/18

Stiffer.

Yeah the comparison is not quite representative coz your previous S.Drive was wider and much thinner which can give the impression of much better response and grip. I'm surprised if the new Fleva is really not better than the outdated S.Drive, but if it's really is then this Fleva is not that good or comparatively much weaker than others of similar category. Good to know though that at least it's good in the wet.

Suprisely this kind of directional tread pattern can get lower noise perform 🤔

Im new to get into this topic since friend ask for review . Any pricing for 195/55r15 ? thx ya !

still can get rm 200.

Well , the price is reasonable . Thx bro 😁

Just an update on this tyre..

Sad to say I suffered a blow out this morning.. Happened during cruise at highway.. Luckily the stiff sidewall held.. And managed to cruise to my destination. Didn't know it blew cause it felt like hitting pothole.. In the middle of a highway ( should have guessed it by then)

Anyway.. The outside sidewall blew with 2 puncture slits. No pics as I don't know how to embed. No bulge seen earlier as I just brought my car in for service last weekend. Age of tyre.. 3 months milage 5k

Plan to claim warranty as I believe it's a defect. Not sure if yokohama will entertain or not.. Anyone here has any experience of claiming?

After this incident.. Abit worried on the quality of the fleva. Blow out is quite a dangerous incident.

Wow... this is alarming for a new tyre to blow out. Was the tyre normal as in no damage was inflicted to it? Say was the sidewalls scrapped?

No scraps on the where the blowout slits.. I have pictures and it's hard to see the slits from far.. Just 2 lines about 2cm each at the sidewall.. Ironically it's near the safety warning signs at the tyre.. Lol..

Anyway I probably think will say it's damaged by me.. Bla Bla Bla.. But as far as I know the tyre has bulge earlier.. Or scratches

Has bulge earlier?? So prior the to blow out you already noticed there's a bulge?

Oops I meant no bulge.. I just serviced the car last weekend and didn't see anything out of ordinary

Didn't you hit any nasty potholes?

Hard to accept that a brand new tyre would cause a blow out. It usually happens to tyres above 5 years or so. Also, Yokohama is not a sub brand. This shouldn't have happened.

Bro , mind to share your blown tyre picture ?

My friend going to buy this on this coming saturday , he seems worried what is the problem on this cheap price tag uhp tyre 🤔

OK after reading up how to upload photo..here goes my attempt..


2 slits near the words safety..

my lame attempt trying to show the slits

That looks very small. Was it an actual blow out or just a puncture? Blow out means all the air come out at once and car will lose control for a while needing you to rein it in. At least this is my understanding.

If you felt like you hit a pothole and then realized no air means you probably did hit a pothole?

No offense but just trying to understand what happened.

Anyway, just sharing my experience, I have had many such incidents with the side walls being torn or blown but usually as a result of brushing the kerb or touching something. Never in the middle of the highway. One thing that I just realized (saw it in a post) was that all the tyres were contis. 2 each on 2 different E200s, 1 fiesta & 1 cerato. Never happened on other brands even cheaper ones. While these tyres were very good & grippy so gave a lot of confidence to the driver, but they get damaged very easily. I really hate it when I lose a good new tyre. I will probably pay more attention to the sidewalls of tyres in the future.
