Yokohama Rubber Introduces “ADVAN FLEVA V701”, the New High-Performance Sport Tire

Tokyo—The Yokohama Rubber Co., Ltd., announced today the launch of “ADVAN FLEVA V701”, the latest addition to the Company’s global flagship “ADVAN” tire brand. The new tire will be available from July 2016 in 24 sizes, with 43 sizes ranging from 195/55R15 85V to 255/30R20 92W available in early 2017.

The “ADVAN FLEVA V701” tire reinforces the company’s premium product line “ADVAN”, with a new concept focused on increasing drivers’ control of the car. The new high-performance sport tire brings greater driving pleasure to a diverse group of car owners, from sport car lovers to drivers of limousines, compact cars and CUVs.

The new tire delivers sporty handling on city streets, highways and winding roads, and safety performance with superior wet grip up to EU grade A. It also delivers a supremely quiet ride that sets a new standard for sport tires, with an exclusively developed directional tread pattern design that boosts sport mood of drivers. The “ADVAN FLEVA V701” also has a low rolling resistance that makes it more environmentally friendly than current sport tires.

As the company’s global flagship brand, “ADVAN” series tires epitomize “YOKOHAMA’s Pursuit of Driving Pleasure”. The series includes the “ADVAN Sport V105”, which has been adopted as original equipment on many of the world’s leading high-performance cars; the “ADVAN NEOVA AD08R” street sports tire; and the “ADVAN dB” premium comfort tire. “ADVAN” tires are widely used in motor sports and this year have been adopted as the control tires for the Japanese SUPER FORMULA Championship series, Asia’s ultimate Formula racing series.

Any thoughts on this tyre? Many big tyre shop in Malaysia already received stock for this tyre but are yet to sell them. Official launch very soon. Might be replacing my current Momo Outrun M3 with these because not many high performance tyre are made for 195/50/16..

Re003 probably will be better on dry grip as this advan fleva is advertised to have good FC/good wet performance

So this Yokohama Advan Fleva is worth it to buy.. Treadwear for 195/55/15 is 300, more than Toyo T1R (280) and Bridgestone re003 (220).. Since three of them with the same price, maybe i will try this tyre

I bought 2 piece 235/55/18........well, having a v-groove pattern, the noise will be higher than normal but acceptable but that could be due to the tyre being New. Driven it for about 400km now and the grip is good for dry roads ......haven't got chance to try on wet roads despite the rainy season.........

I bought it from ban hooi for 530 a piece

MC5 is overrated and over priced just because it's Continental.

Ic. Coz last year when I bought my CSC5 size 225/50/17, it was already rm500 and that's already the cheapest (others were quoting like around rm600 or even more). PS3 I got was rm525 while the RE003 was out of stock so people quoted rather high of about rm550 back then. So when dinox said can get the Fleva in big size 235/55/18 for only rm530, seems damn cheap leh. Next tire change I will certainly consider this Fleva along with the V12 E2, RE003 and PS4 (if I feel generous!).

actually if you check lazada, CSC5 or RE003 does not look so pricey.......I think can get below 500.....just too bad they dun have my size despite listing the size on their website. my first choice was CSC5....but look high and low also said no stock.

just bought advan fleva 195/50r15 last week and it is 1 week old now.
RM200 per tyre without gst charge at weng heng.

i can feel it is much quieter than my previous kumbo solus hs51 tyre.
more smooth and comfortable at rough tarmac roads too.
looking forward on fuel economy as it is rated as silent economy tyre with performance of sport tyre by yokohama especially in wet braking.

actually if you check lazada, CSC5 or RE003 does not look so pricey.......I think can get below 500.....just too bad they dun have my size despite listing the size on their website. my first choice was CSC5....but look high and low also said no stock.

Hmm never shopped at Lazada before. CSC5 is usually pretty expensive coz that's Continental's top of the line tire and all made in Europe.

Either of them should be pretty good, just try the one you can get cheaper.

Just bought advan fleva 195/55r15 yesterday RM210 per tyre without gst at tee 3 with new 15inch 6.5jj rim...

I will compare this tyre to my previous Michelin xm2 caused this is my first uhp tyre..i will just compare the noise level..noise level compare to xm2 its equal...yesterday I test the tyre on north south highway while back home from kl to perak...advan fleva is more quiet on rough simen road near Tapah if compare to xm2 and my xm2 still have 50% thread left before I trade in.my speed lvl is 150 on highway...for city road advan fleva abit noisier if compare to xm2 and definitely we can use this tyre without on the radio 😋..the sidewall is semi soft.....braking is definitely improved alot...just 600km done so far not yet test on heavy rain... 😉

anyone here have tried both fleva and v12evo2?

cant find comparison review between those 2.

Before this was interested in v12evo2,
but when looking at this review:
http://www.tyrereviews.co.uk/Article/2015-...e-Tyre-Test.htm

seems the rolling resistance for v12 is worse then max performance tyre like CSC5.

So i was hoping this fleva can be the answer, haha.

Yes RE003 should get worn out faster.

Where did you find this size?

Just changed 4 pcs... RM360 without gst in Rawang. Balancing alignment included.

Actually I asked Weng Heng Kota Kemuning RM345 without gst but lazy to go so far. Today went to Rawang to collect cheque.

Initial impression is quite good. Stiffer wall than PS3. I dont think I will ever go back to Michelin given how bad the peel off I got from my set. Definitely worthy to try V701 given the price is really much cheaper.

So far I driven about 1k so can't really put a accurate review. It's stiffer than the ps3 which I used previously. The tracking seems a bit loose, hence I would say the dry grip is not as good as ps3. But wet grip is very good.. No hint of veering when going through puddles at high speed.

In terms of noise..its new so it's pretty quiet compared with my old ps3 which was rumbling loudly at 80kpn.

Overall I would say it's a good tyre based on the budget.

So far I driven about 1k so can't really put a accurate review. It's stiffer than the ps3 which I used previously.  The tracking seems a bit loose,  hence I would say the dry grip is not as good as ps3.  But wet grip is very good.. No hint of veering when going through puddles at high speed. 

In terms of noise..its new so it's pretty quiet compared with my old ps3 which was rumbling loudly at 80kpn.

Overall I would say it's a good tyre based on the budget.

I think I had different feeling about Fleva. At first, I was pretty happy with the PS3 until I bought a car for my wife. It came with CSC5 and straightaway I noticed that PS3 might not be the performance tires it claimed to be. Yes, the grip is not bad but I feel the tires are lazy. Cornering for example tend to understeer probably due to the lousy sidewall.

Fleva feeling is straightaway an improvement. It feel responsive, especially when turning. It was like immediate. It was fun to drive compare to PS3. I think the tires stiffness is so good that you feel more of the car body roll instead of it understeering for more comfort like what the PS3 did.

PS3 is well known for its aquaplaning resistance which is going thru puddles. Don't mistaken that for wet grip though, coz they're slightly different qualities even though related. Wet grip is more like grip on wet surface but not having puddles. So PS3 is often the best at aquaplaning resistance but not necessarily have the best wet grip, there are other tires that can have better wet grip but yet cannot have as good aquaplaning resistance as PS3.

CSC5 is indeed better in most aspects than PS3, it's a damn excellent tire! I'm using it now and I think it's the best tire I've used so far. PS3 I think is a good all rounder tryuing to offer balacne between comfort and performance but not the ultimate best at most aspects except maybe aquaplaning resistance.
So the Fleva feels more sporty is it? How is it compared to CSC5?

Hard to compare since it's on different car and different profile too. If I had to choose blindly, CSC5. Never feel so fun whack corner. No funny feeling. However when going over bad roads, really have to slow down. I would say Fleva still a bit more comfortable than CSC5.

Yeah the CSC5 indeed inspires confidence. To me it's also still pretty comfortable but my sidewall is still around 11cm thick. Anyway my next tire change I want to try different ones, maybe the Fleva or V12E2, or PS4 if I got the budget, but that will still be another 1-2 yrs from now. So in the mean time should have more and more reviews on these tires, maybe will come upgraded versions again too.

I too agree with the wet performance by this fleva..when going through puddles its very steady...dry grip is good..the noise level is low too...for the price definitely a good buy

Wet performance should be really tested when tires thread fell below 50%. Most new tires handle water puddle really well since they still have deep groove to channel water out. Some really fell off the cliff as they worn out.

For example, I was using Good Year Eagle F1 GSD3, which is a really good tires when it comes to wet performance. However there was one where I drove through running water after passing through NSE, and there's plenty of wheel spin when I tried to accelerate past 80kmh. Well, to be fair, the thread depth only left 2mm. In comparison, PS3 fared slightly better before I changed mine last week.

From the feedback of some drivers in the Sepang 1000km last year, the performance of the Fleva seems to be quite consistent until it wears out. But no doubt, performance is good in the wet.

Hmm still normal for d-segment sedan coz I'm using 17' only.
Front 225/50/17, so sidewall height is 22.5cm x 50% = 11.2cm (This is exactly the same size as the current Honda Accord std tire also).
Rear 245/45/17, so sidewall height is 24.5cm x 45% = 11cm

Total diameter is a too small by 7-8mm compared to your original std size, while if you use 225/45 then the difference is only larger by 1-2mm so it's the closest to your original diameter size. 225/45 is slightly taller sidewall hence the ride quality will be slightly more comfortable than 215/45. It may affect performance and fuel consumption very slightly but would not be noticeable and will also provide more grip coz it's wider. So my recommendation is still to use 225/45/17.

You can play around using this if you want to see the detail calculations:

Well that one I won't be able to tell. You need to compare with your existing rims/tires with the 225/45 size and use the calculator above to estimate the clearances. Best if you test fit first before you decide to buy the tires so you can see exactly how the clearances are.

For small size still can choose PS4, but if for 18"..its very pain to choose..

Fleva
225/40R18 - Rm380

PS4
225/40R18 - Rm725

Very big different..1 PS4 can get almost 2 Fleva.. rclxub.gif
However, if 17" can really try PS4, cost around Rm400+ only.. sweat.gif

Depends on which 17' also, if wider like mine (245/45/17), it'll surely cost a lot more than rm400+ for PS4. Even 225/50/17 I don't think can get below rm500, especially with the bloody exchange rate we suffer in the last 2 years! sweat.gif

If got budget recommends going for PS4, if on tight budget can go for v701.
Performance wise ps4 is better both dry and wet, will varies depend on your load and driving style too

Treadwear 320 AA A - PS4
Treadwear 300 AA A - V701

Thanks bro!

However I read somewhere that PS4 is very harsh although performance is really good. Accord's suspension is already very hard and with this PS4 it will make the ride even harder. Not sure what others think about this??

I have it on my City, dun really feels the harshness, as my stock suspension are soft.
PS4 is soft but a bit harder than PS3, and also depend on how much air you put inside too

For small size still can choose PS4, but if for 18"..its very pain to choose..

Fleva
225/40R18 - Rm380

PS4
225/40R18 - Rm725

Very big different..1 PS4 can get almost 2 Fleva..  rclxub.gif
However, if 17" can really try PS4, cost around Rm400+ only.. sweat.gif

Haha yeah probably not worth almost double, but if you want the ultimate street tire of today then the PS4 is probably it.

Not bad & still reasonable prices, similar to my current CSC5 price range so surely would still be on my consideration list for next tire change.
Thanks for the info.

initial review after that day go touge batang kali to genting. just happen gohtong to genting rain, can test damp condition.

1. more comfort compare to s drive , yellow line feel not as harsh as s drive
2. same damper setting , a lot more roll , just as i use hand to test the sidewall,it feel softer
3. the grip level might be around the same as s drive, i dunno whether the tire fully run in yet , but the limit seem much earlier than s drive, squeeze much earlier. new s drive don't seem to squeeze much.
4. wet/damp condition better than s drive when new, but not sure about aquaplaning resistance though

my suspension setup guy suggest me to play around with the damper clicker to try first as he said this tire better than s drive, i will try to.

for now if you ask me, I will choose S drive instead.

I used to use S Drive and distinctly remember that it made a loud noise till I cannot take it that I had to change it. The grip is good but the noise is unbearable.

After a few years, I finally decided to give another chance on the new S drive replacement as many tyre shops says it quiet.

Well, just change 4 donuts yesterday. First impression was pretty impress. Not loud, nice handling and more comfortable than my previous tyres, RE050A.

Anyway, will take my time to comment further but so far for the 2nd day, it has been quite good!

Ya need to give some run in mileage first, maybe after 500 km then review again. If after that still not good then can forget about it. I will be very disappointed and surprised if it's really worse than S.Drive coz S.Drive is already very old tire and not as good anymore compared to other newer tires available now. I watched a youtube for this Fleva tested against CSC3 in Tsukuba and it did beat CSC3 pretty comprehensively, granted CSC3 is also an old tire but still a pretty good one.

Just back from genting, learned something new today. hahaha actually for my style of driving I don't think I need that's much of mileage to run in, I checked the tire don't even seem to be any wax (shinny) leftover on the thread.

The story is like this. Wednesday I was touge on damper setting (F10clicks R12clicks count loosen from full stiff), and I felt the grip was bad, so easier to reach tyre limit compared to s drive. It felt even worst than a 50% s drive and I thought the tire haven't fully run in. Then my suspension guy suggested that I go play around with the damper clickers.

Today I touge with my friend (same car ,stock suspension on re003). I set the damper to loosen to F8click R10 click from full stiff. Based on record, my car from gohtong to genting, at least 1 to 2 corner advance if we push our car from guard house to ria aparment. Today run was totally dissapoint with the grip, my friend able to keep up with me and even overtake me due to I dont have the grip to maintain momentum to go in and out of the corner of my low power car.

After we yam cha and discuss, my friend ask whether i'm doing full speed or not, because he felt that i'm quite slow today. The yamcha session I was cursing on how yokohama can rated such tire better than the old s drive and thought of trade in it for a set of RE003. mega_shok.gif After yam cha I decided to give it a go , again. This time I soften the car 3 more click F&R (F11clicks R13clicks). While on the way to going down to chin swee temple and go uphill to test 1 more round, instantly I feel the car roll better than grip better. I couldn't believe, then I push hard on uphill to try. So I found my direction to tune my car, go softer more grip for these tire.

I drive my car to gohtong, play around with the setting. Found out that (F11clicks R14clicks soften from full stiff) seem working the best for this tire in terms of grip and roll level. After have some noodle at gohtong restaurant, going downhill, instantly felt a lot better, turn in, grip level, limit much higher than s drive. sweat.gif sweat.gif

From passenger/keyboard warrior point of view so take it at that
Initial run up from Batang Kali to Ghotong Jaya, each time he enter corner the tyre already squealing kaw kaw rclxub.gif Before even there are any lateral G generated, the squealing noise is crazy rclxub.gif
After he play around with damper setting, it keep on getting better
Softer damping setting = more grip at the expense of roll
The final setup nzh0920 arrive at have good balance between grip and slight roll
On the way down from Ghotong Jaya to Batang Kali(reverse direction from initial run), the difference is significant. There are lateral G and yet the squealing from tire is a lot better, just slight squeal.
TL;DR : Need to have softer damping to run V701 thumbsup.gif

Hmm that's a bit odd, coz you said the sidewall is already softer yet you still need to run with even softer dampers. What's your tire pressure? Did you play around with that? But anyway if based on you finding, then this tire might still be suitable for me coz my car is also still soft even though already using TRD shocks & Tanabe springs with some UR bars. laugh.gif Currently on CSC5 fr/CSC3 rr and they barely squeal at all. biggrin.gif

tire pressure same as sdrive among the test which is 225kpa as I found the best on the s drive for this setting, didn't have much time to play around with this new tire.

how do i put in this? may be i should say it's not soft, but it's require softer rebound compared to s drive to put it in working state. Stiffer setting damper feel like the tire sidewall giving up much earlier and less grip. Now on softer you can feel its stick on the road and earlier higher instead.

tire pressure same as sdrive among the test which is 225kpa as I found the best on the s drive for this setting, didn't have much time to play around with this new tire.

how do i put in this? may be i should say it's not soft, but it's require softer rebound compared to s drive to put it in working state. Stiffer setting damper feel like the tire sidewall giving up much earlier and less grip. Now on softer you can feel its stick on the road and earlier higher instead.

Based on your summary, i conclude that the fleva v701 works best with standard damper setting either with standard or sports spring instead of sports/firm damper setting.
Am i correct?

Maybe next you can try with a higher tire pressure just to find out.

Even though you said your driving style pretty aggressive and don't need much run in, would appreciate if you update us again once you reach over 500km on this tire and let us know how are they, if they still stay the same as now or keep improving or what.

Lets just say that my earlier setting was too stiff for the tire. I won't say stock works better , as i try softer , its roll more and less grip, just need to find the right setting

Now on 300km mark, will update again, but obviously damper setting makes traction a lot different. Will try to play with air pressure

Personally I prefer lower air pressure. The tire shop filled my tires to 35psi. Handling was ok but I find it a bit scary. Lowered it to 32psi and definitely feel better.

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 rclxub.gif

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

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.

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?

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.

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.

Hmm that's strange, if really like explode without any prior damage then must be a defective tire, so the QC is not good. Pretty surprising to happen on somewhat branded tires like Yokohama.

Oh well am at the tyre shop.. As usual the boss saying that I hit a pothole.. Hence puncture.

I told him I was driving at nkve.. When it happened. Straight road where got pothole. And the rims looks fine..

I know he won't believe me so I am changing the tyre and paying for it. But I do worry now on the quality of yokohama...until someone else have the same issue I guess it could be one off experience. Better be cause I still have 4 more donuts to use before swapping to a different brand.

Will post more photos of the slits since I took a few after they dismounted the tire.

hmm.gif ...puncture by something?? I don't see any damage whatsoever near the slits...no scratches or peeling anywhere. And if I hit a rock my threadlines looks fine.. It looks more like someone pierced a screwdriver into my sidewalls ..lol

Not sure if Nkve has any potholes?

Maybe I hit the pothole much earlier and it let go today.. But I can guarantee you there was no bulge in sight

Anyway what done is done.. Hope no one has same issues like me

Ok bro , thx for your kind sharing .

Sometimes , we should take things as they came , all we need to do were think a little harder and come up with a new solution , you were blessed as didnt have major accident after this tyre burst . ☺

So whats your next purchase ? Back on yoko too ?

I changed back the same tyre.. Since I have 3 existing one.

But once thread runs out don't think will be using it again. It's my first time ever since i had the car for 7 years that a tyre blew up on me.

I came from Toyo proxes ps4 and previously GD asymmetric 2. Never had a blow out but the GD did laminate during tail end.

Probably use back PS.

I never had Async2 but I'm using GSD3 last time. I can tell you I had more puncture than you can imagined. Once hit a brick lying in the middle of the road, straight puncture. Once even more unexpected. Trying to change lane and I did go over the small water hole beside those divider, guess what puncture. It was really slow, like 10kmh. Got one more time I can't remember and another was a bulging tire which I didn't bother to change despite numerous advice from multiple tire shop.

Frequent punctures either means tyres very poor strength against extreme stresses like potholes or tyres too low a sidewall (larger rim diameter) or too wide for that rim width (meant to fit on 6.0JJ but rim narrower than that). More often that not it's the latter two. Had these issues once until I changed rim to thicker width and these problems went away.

Anyway what done is done.. Hope no one has same issues like me

Guys,
Any reliable tyre shop can recommend to purchase 4 tyre (195/55R15) + Balancing + GST + alignment of Yoko Fleva donuts in Klang Valley? Thanks.

People often said directional tires more noisy but for this new Fleva, the noise rating is only 67-69db so should be pretty quiet.
This tire should be better than MC5 coz it's already UHP class which is 1 performance category higher than the mid range MC5.

Yes slightly lower but should not make too much difference at least compared to PS3 at 320. I'd expect with normal driving and assuming the alignment in good condition and rotate every 15 or 20k km, a 300 TW tire should last minimum 50k km. Last time I used the F1D5 (also TW 300) last me around 55k km and that's with occasional aggressive driving and pushing hard in the corners with a 1.6 ton d-segment car without rotation (coz my car is staggered setup). If drive normal with rotation and lighter car, surely it should last longer than that.

Noise rating is about the same for both at below 70db, but probably Primacy should be more comfortable after longer use coz it's designed to be sitting at the mid range performance with comfort as the main criteria, while the Advan Fleva is sitting at the UHP category which is to focus more on performance instead of comfort.

Hmm based on this test, seems this tire is more focused for dry and comfort! laugh.gif Let's see more feedback from others.
Also another point to note is the new Falken Azenis FK510 can perform surprisingly good, matching much more expensive tires, so this tire can be a very good value for money. Then tires which are supposedly in a slightly lower performance category like CPC6 & P7 can match or beat higher performance category tires like the Sportmaxx RT2 & F1A3. F1A3 though I think might end up higher if not for its expensive price. Wonder how PS4 would fare in this test but I think it should top it, so if yo have budget for PS4, just buy that one. Also same case for CSC5/6 series, which surely are even better than CPC6. It's a pity difficult to get the Dunlop Sportmaxx RT in Malaysia.

Thanks for the review link! thumbup.gif

Well in the below test, also by Autobild, it came 2nd though.

But yeah in most other tests, the F1A3 seems under performing. In last year's Autoexpress UK test, it also only came in 5th.

Well the test was done by Autobild, so surely not trolling but whether it's reliable we don't know. Maybe their testing experience was like yours first time when you use your harder setup hence poor performance. Anyway aside from the AD08R, Yokohama also never fares really well in most European comparison tests. The regular top 5 are either Michelin, Continental, Pirelli, Goodyear, Dunlop, or sometimes even Hankook but seldom Yokohama.

They accept trade in, but your tyres have to be in a good and usable condition, otherwise they can't offer you much or anything. What language do you speak in to the Aunty anyway? Her proficiency in English is average, so she may come across as LCLY.

but really i'm impress this tyre , for the price , the grip level , not bad, its just the softer side wall not so well for spirited drive. considered that this is for that section of customer i think it did pretty well, the characteristics is like PS3 with slightly stiffer side wall , slightly higher noise. Same as PS3, harder compound and softer side wall. May be its a recipe for good wet grip, the wet grip of this tyre really pretty good ( yea, i'm type these after I touge during raining condition from karak to gohtong). I think this recipe also works much better with stock setup suspension, my fren fiesta fitted with it give quite high remark for it too.

oh ya , sorry for talking about ps4 in fleva thread, after some testing on f30 which used to be wearing PS3, the thread looks soft n sticker after some spirited drive up n down gohtong , and use the finger nail to poke the thread to test, meanwhile Fleva after spirited drive, the thread still looks like quite stiff and less damage which make me think that thread life on fleva much better on PS4, but for 225/45/18, the price almost double on michelin side rclxub.gif . The dry grip is good thou, rarely squeeze when pushing to limit compared to fleva which squeeze a lot, and the side wall is stiffer than PS3/fleva, better response. I purposely go through water puddle , the aquaplaning resistance ability seem not as well as PS3 hmm.gif

Hmm your feedback contradicts that Autobild test. If you look closely at that test result, the Fleva seems decent in the dry but bad in the wet! Though it seems to agree with you on the soft sidewall coz it stated the Fleva as the most comfortable tire! biggrin.gif

PS4 is topping many tests now. I think my next change will be that tire, unless I can get other much cheaper options but still very good tires (maybe the Hankook S1 Evo 2). Anyway the Fleva might be acceptable for its cheap price, you got what you pay for. Wonder how it compares to the Hankook V12 Evo 2 which is in very similar directional design and maybe price also. Another option is the newly announced Continental CPC6 which is targeted to replace and combine CPC5 & CSC5 altogether into 1 tire to compete with PS4.

Hmm that's a bit odd, coz you said the sidewall is already softer yet you still need to run with even softer dampers. What's your tire pressure? Did you play around with that? But anyway if based on you finding, then this tire might still be suitable for me coz my car is also still soft even though already using TRD shocks & Tanabe springs with some UR bars.  laugh.gif  Currently on CSC5 fr/CSC3 rr and they barely squeal at all.  biggrin.gif
*
Old Goh Tong touge is bumpy. Cars set up with softer dampers can usually run quicker.

My lightened Satria is running on stock dampers and it out paces most stiffly sprung coil over cars in the tight sections....being softly sprung and dampered, it also allows me to do "gutter runs" at the often broken pavement sides at off camber turns, off loading the inside tire so I can "makan" into the turn without it catching.



My guess if he softened it even more, he will find more grip. That said, more grip does not mean more speed. How and when you use the extra grip is key. To each their own I suppose.



The issue here is likely confidence not grip. The tyre with stiffer sidewall tend to give a more immediate response. The slightly worn out S Drive will also have less thread squirm than the full depth Fleva. I had this problem even with the big block Parada S ( 2 sets) when they were new (they also had soft sidewalls), they were numb and imprecise AF until it worn down to 50%. They were also out rightly dangerous in the damp.

QUOTE(6UE5T @ Mar 15 2017, 10:40 AM)
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.
*
I am surprised as well. The last S drive (1st gen, maybe the 2nd gen were better) I tried was garbage. Expensive, Luckluster in the dry, horrible in the wet. Noisy. Even Kumho's cheap KU31 worked better.

Looking at this Fleva with interest. After going through 2 sets of PS3s down to the belts with no complaints (and 3 sets of chapalang Falkens, Nang Kangs, and Achillies - the Last 2 blowing up on the highway), perhaps it is a a time to change brands again. Just need a touring tyre with good aquaplaning resistance at highway speeds with a sporting twist. PS4 is too expensive now, and the RE003 a little too hardcore, so maybe the Fleva and V12e may be prime candidates.

So, it's better to run this ADVAN Fleva with higher tyre pressure or lower tyre pressure?

well with the price you can give it a try. Just bear in mind fleva is a performance tyres so it will be abit noisy.

this is my survey of all price of Fleva 195/50 R16 in Klang valley.

How much per piece? Thinking of changing 4 pieces

include gst balancing alignment rm380. 215/50/r17. Wet performance is good too. Just need to wait and see how long it lasts. I travel around 3000 to 4000km per month.

Anyone compared this against the Falken FK510?

Thinking between these 2 choices for my next tyre change in a few months time.

Yoko Fleva review in the following tyre review web site on wet test so bad? Is it safe to drive on wet roads? Thanks.

http://www.tyrereviews.co.uk/Article/2017-...r-Tyre-Test.htm

I am currently using 2 fleva on my Subaru forester. I probably concur with the test. on marginally wet road (after rain) and taking a 70-80 degree turn at about 60km/h (it's a wide road).........car was understeer.....when I try to correct it by increasing steer, car start to fish tail.....as the tire lose grip.

on other occasion, when road is dry, taking a similar turn at about more or less the same speed, I do hear some screeching sound (not a long one , but an audible one).

not looking like I will buy another 2 piece to replace my 2 older tires.

Guys, even though this Fleva get not so good rating in the online tyre reviews. But can this Fleva at least better than those low to mid end Donuts like Conti CC6, Goodyear Triplemax, Conti MC5, Miche XM2 in terms of performance and handlings? Thanks.

I swapped in MX-5 17 inch rims with Advan Fleva v701 215/45/17 tyres, definitely way better grip than my stock 185/60/16 Dunlop, but that is as expected, stock tyres are usually bad. I haven't had any issues in wet grip as some have said, and dry grip is very good. Also noise level is better than my stock tyres. My fuel consumption has gone up abit though

of course when you start comparing to low or mid end tires, it will probably be better, but fleva is parked under the ADVAN range which is supposedly the sportier range........one would have expected better performance.......just my 2 sen

Well I agree, I can push harder with Michelin Pilot Sport. But the performance difference...I still can live with it. The understeer is predictable, can correct without much trouble.

It cant be worse than PS3 because that is what I used previously. This is better than PS3 in terms of handling. Really dislike how the PS3 keep understeering although noise and wet performance is good.

Well, it actually depends on the car's suspension engineering/geometry. Some tyre manufacturers design seemed to work optimal on certain cars while not on others. I believe the tyre sizing also plays a part in it.

If you're regular reader of tyrereview website, you might find it a bit odd that some test list tyre A to be on the higher end of the scale while on another test, it looks like average.

But still, as a rule of thumb, new tyre designs are usually a better bet than older designs.

195/50/R15
Rm200 weng Heng (not included gst)

Wet road conditions is excellent and the tires is quite (below 110km/h)
Dry grip was good too (maybe tires still new)

Only thing is can feel the sidewall is a bit to soft type,
Not sure how much air pressure to pump in..
Had tried 30psi n 32psi,
32 psi got better handling, not too bumpy yet compared to previous tire at same psi. (Neuton nt8000 and Bridgestone ecopia 150).

Hopefully can last 30k km...

just bought advan fleva 195/50r15 last week and it is 1 week old now.
RM200 per tyre without gst charge at weng heng.

i can feel it is much quieter than my previous kumbo solus hs51 tyre.
more smooth and comfortable at rough tarmac roads too.
looking forward on fuel economy as it is rated as silent economy tyre with performance of sport tyre by yokohama especially in wet braking.

Based on a few members here in this thread recommending to lower down the pressure to increase grip, thats what I did, later next round will try higher pressure a bit, but i don't think its gonna make much difference..

Then this tire is certainly out of my consideration list already. I corner faster than that using my F1D5 last time and now CSC5 and not yet screeching leh.

this tyres was in my comparison list too. But now, seems like getting more and more negative reviews. Seems like my choice to v12evo2 is right. haha

Yeah I think V12E2 is still better than this one. At least from the reviews on the web it got some positive ones especially in the dry (in the wet I read that the V12E2 seems a bit twitchy though).

the dry grip of v12evo2 had compliments on few reviews. Cant deny its dry grip is good. In the wet im not sure. During downpour, better drives slow slow la. safety first. biggrin.gif

Why not get in touch with Yokohama Malaysia and see what they say about the screech sound?

QUOTE(Boy96 @ Aug 7 2017, 02:01 AM)
can hear the screech in this video



1:20 onwards, need to view on PC, mobile youtube cannot



this one also, 00:46 onwards, nearly every corner will screech for both videos

Better get PS3 coz the difference in price is not so much, yet PS3 is very much proven as a very good all rounder tire already, especially excellent in aquaplaning resistance while this Fleva has so many mixed reviews, mostly not so positive/doubtful actually.

so far the Fleva V701 feedback are positive from my side
of course there are few negative feedback , but considering their driving style are extreme , V701 really not enough for their usage

the advantange of these tire are Wet Grip and threadlife (better than RE003) and most important the pricing (15" not the cheapest but 16" 17" 18" 19" do offer very competitive price )

most negative feedback comes from the Dry grip which not Fleva strongest thing
but Wet grip and lifespan are what normal road user needed the most especially Msia road condition
and with these kind of price range really cant get better tire than V701
so personally will highly recommend this tire as a upgrade for most user !

of course u might think i promote these bcos im selling them but this are my personal view
if u have PS4 budget then go get them , but if u dont have then fleva is one of the best Mid price UHP in the market .

This comparison review by Autobild unfortunately doesn't look good on the Fleva and the aquaplaning resistance was especially highlighted as very poor while the overall wet & dry grip also low. It came out only 19th out of 20 tires tested! sad.gif It only won on being the most comfortable which is quite an irony given that this was meant to be a UHP tire.

personally went to test this tire on proper place , and it out perform their main rival (RE003) on the wet , and the difference is huge!
so im quite confident on the wet grip for fleva
while no one tells me about the comfort level cos we dont expect a UHP tire to be comfort

i wont fully trust european market review especially Yokohama for some reason
generally their rating are low (no idea)

btw , what UHP tire will u recommend if u have rm300+/- on hand for 215/45/17 ?
we all know PS4 , CSC6 , F1A3,Pzero are good top of the range tire
but these are not budget friendly tire and they only come with 17" or 18" and above
how about same sizes like 15" 16"?

if what i will recommend will be hankook ventus v12v2 that similar to V701
been selling this before V701 come out

price vs performance factor is what we consider the most
and buy the tire according to ur driving style (and budget also)

Autobild should have some credibility in their reviews, at least better than nothing at all and just our non professional gut/butt feel. I think the best tire reviews so far is by Autoexpress UK which also still comes from Europe. The only issue maybe is that their test environment (climate and asphalt) is different than here in SEA but since there's not much other more credible reviews then still better to just read those European reviews. Unfortunately yes, most of the time Yokohama models do not come out as good as expected in any of those reviews, except the AD08R.

For smaller 15' sizes, I would probably recommend as below in ranking order:
PS3
F1D5
RE003 or V12E2 (this one I'm not entirely sure which one better yet. I suspect the RE003 would be better in the dry while V12E2 slightly better in the wet but having said that, based on some reviews the V12E2 can be a bit tricky too in the wet. I'm considering to try these 2 along with S1 Evo 2 and of course PS4 in the future for replacement of my CSC5).

If 16' then similar to the above with the addition of PS4 at the top, maybe also CPC6 in the mix later.

PS3 15" price still ok , 16" not really cheap

F1D5 i think goodyear malaysia give up on this , not many store carry them cos the price might be same with PS3 for 15"

RE003 the good thing is dry grip , wet grip and life span really thing that let down this tire , plus the price 2xx for 15" not cheap

V12E2 (this one I'm not entirely sure which one better yet. I suspect the RE003 would be better in the dry while V12E2 slightly better in the wet but having said that, based on some reviews the V12E2 can be a bit tricky too in the wet.

v12e2 15" less than rm200 , is the cheapest among the list , feedback are positive for the price. not the best tire but u can u get 18" in 3xx? v12evo2 can with these performance offered

thats y we compare the performance and price as well , currently my store will recommend PS3 , V701 for 15" UHP
the tire review compare v701 with f1a3 , csc6 really not a fair comparison cos they on different league

It's a pity if GY MY gave up on the F1D5 coz it is a good tire. It should be slightly cheaper than PS3 in 15' which I think is still fair enough because it is also the closest tire that can compete head to head with PS3 as an all rounder well balanced UHP tire with pretty good lifetime too. I have used this tire before until totally destroyed and I was also fully satisfied with it, no regrets.

Yes I know the RE003 would not last long.

Good to hear if the V12 Evo 2 is also decent, seems good value for money. Do you also carry the S1 Evo 2 for 17' up?

Hmm in that Autobild test, they also compared it against other supposedly just mid range tires like Michelin Primacy and BS Turanza and yet still the V701 cannot beat them too which is rather disappointing since the V701 carry the Advan name and positioned as already UHP tire. Btw it was compared with the new CPC6, not yet CSC6 coz CSC6 is not available below 19'. CPC6 is designed as UHP and replacement for the CSC5 & CPC5 together in 1 model, trying to combine the best qualities of both, so it should be fair comparison with the V701 too.

Btw from that test, the other interesting one is the new Falken Azenis FK510, should also be a good value for money. Just haven't seen or hear anyone sells it in MY yet.

Having seen the video, I've cornered faster than that without my Fleva's screeching. Few factors will determine it.
1. Tire pressure (kept mine front at 33, rear at 31psi)
2. Tire size (mine is 195/55/15)
3. Vehicle (Vehicle dynamics) -Honda Jazz GK
4. Road surface

Coming from a Jazz GK vehicle, perhaps the dynamics of the suspension allows the Jazz to corner better without stretching the tire to its limit. Having owned (wife's car) Jazz GE, GD & GK since the year 2003 till now, the Jazz really is an exceptional handling car, having driven it up down Genting & Cameron on many occasions. Hence why I've supported my wife's decision to only go for Jazz (she loves it for the size and flexibility of it). All this while, only ever had Yokohama's on it (besides stock tires), ranging from 2 sets of C-Drive, 1 set of C-Drive II, 2 sets of S-Drives, a set Neova and current Fleva.

After many months, I've grown accustomed to it's character, having driven over 8,000 kms on it. The cornering confidence have increased since I first had it. Still awesome in rain and no surprise twitches when in need of sudden lane changes, at low or higher speed.

For it's price factor, I'd now say it's a great tire without sacrificing comfort.

Since its the loong holidays, I took my scoobie to genting yesterday. Had an enjoyable ride. Took every corners with ease and uphill task was a breeze. Only thing is that 1 corner, my V701s were screeching. First time it happened. Had PS3, RE003, RE050A before but they never screech. Perhaps I was driving a little too fast? Anyway, need time to evaluate. Of course, price wins hands down as I'm on 18s.

Yokohama Rubber Introduces “ADVAN FLEVA V701”, the New High-Performance Sport Tire

Tokyo—The Yokohama Rubber Co., Ltd., announced today the launch of “ADVAN FLEVA V701”, the latest addition to the Company’s global flagship “ADVAN” tire brand. The new tire will be available from July 2016 in 24 sizes, with 43 sizes ranging from 195/55R15 85V to 255/30R20 92W available in early 2017.

The “ADVAN FLEVA V701” tire reinforces the company’s premium product line “ADVAN”, with a new concept focused on increasing drivers’ control of the car. The new high-performance sport tire brings greater driving pleasure to a diverse group of car owners, from sport car lovers to drivers of limousines, compact cars and CUVs.

The new tire delivers sporty handling on city streets, highways and winding roads, and safety performance with superior wet grip up to EU grade A. It also delivers a supremely quiet ride that sets a new standard for sport tires, with an exclusively developed directional tread pattern design that boosts sport mood of drivers. The “ADVAN FLEVA V701” also has a low rolling resistance that makes it more environmentally friendly than current sport tires.

As the company’s global flagship brand, “ADVAN” series tires epitomize “YOKOHAMA’s Pursuit of Driving Pleasure”. The series includes the “ADVAN Sport V105”, which has been adopted as original equipment on many of the world’s leading high-performance cars; the “ADVAN NEOVA AD08R” street sports tire; and the “ADVAN dB” premium comfort tire. “ADVAN” tires are widely used in motor sports and this year have been adopted as the control tires for the Japanese SUPER FORMULA Championship series, Asia’s ultimate Formula racing series.

Any thoughts on this tyre? Many big tyre shop in Malaysia already received stock for this tyre but are yet to sell them. Official launch very soon. Might be replacing my current Momo Outrun M3 with these because not many high performance tyre are made for 195/50/16..

It's a pity if GY MY gave up on the F1D5 coz it is a good tire. It should be slightly cheaper than PS3 in 15' which I think is still fair enough because it is also the closest tire that can compete head to head with PS3 as an all rounder well balanced UHP tire with pretty good lifetime too. I have used this tire before until totally destroyed and I was also fully satisfied with  it, no regrets.

Yes I know the RE003 would not last long.

Good to hear if the V12 Evo 2 is also decent, seems good value for money. Do you also carry the S1 Evo 2 for 17' up?

Hmm in that Autobild test, they also compared it against other supposedly just mid range tires like Michelin Primacy and BS Turanza and yet still the V701 cannot beat them too which is rather disappointing since the V701 carry the Advan name and positioned as already UHP tire. Btw it was compared with the new CPC6, not yet CSC6 coz CSC6 is not available below 19'. CPC6 is designed as UHP and replacement for the CSC5 & CPC5 together in 1 model, trying to combine the best qualities of both, so it should be fair comparison with the V701 too.

Btw from that test, the other interesting one is the new Falken Azenis FK510, should also be a good value for money. Just haven't seen or hear anyone sells it in MY yet.

can you please share your experience of this tyre vs previous goodyear excellence in terms of

1) Grip level for both dry and wet
2) aquaplanning resistant ?
3) fuel consumption
4) since tyre is slightly bigger, do you feel the car have huge or little lagging of power after the tyre change ?
5) highway speed stability improve ?
6) since it is slightly bigger, will it hit the wheel arches ?

Depends on where you go. I got my 215/45/R17 yesterday at ED Tayar in Shah Alam. I know some other shops which stocks them too. It's true that the plant in The Philippines caught fire but that was in May and from what I read it resumed partial operations within a week.

I found out about ED Tayar on Mudah actually. I was interested in the Achilles ATR because it was cheaper but the guy said some driver said it was noisy. The wife prefer the new set to be quieter. Her car and she's paying for it so we went with Fleva.

If you look at Mudah there's a shop in Setapak that has 205/50/16 for RM310 but last month's ad so not sure if still in stock.

Early review for the Fleva in 215/45/R17 on the wife’s Mazda 3. (200km+).

Previously we’ve used the Continental, Bridgestone and more recently Silverdolf on the Mazda. The Silverdolf was because the shop that the missus went to before recommended it to her and she decided to buy it. I was unhappy at first because I never heard of the brand - apparently it was under Silverstone/Toyo. However I was pleasantly surprised with it. The grip dry and wet was good, no aquaplanning but my wife said it was loud. Because of the way we both drive we needed something with good grips in both wet and dry conditions and her requirement now is a quieter ride. The Silverdolf lasted about one and a half years and it was time to change all the tires.

We went to ED Tayar in Shah Alam after looking through Mudah for the tires that we were interested in. We narrowed it to the Achilles ATR Sport, Goodyear Excellence, Yokohama Fleva and we were also considering the Michelin PS4. While we are there, the Continental MC6 was also thrown in the mix.

We both knew the Michelins were very good but were unsure to spend that much (RM1,600 for the whole set - still cheaper than other places though). I really liked the Indonesian made ATR because I think it was very good value (RM800) but according to the guy, some drivers said it was noisy. So that turned the wife off. Both the ATR and Fleva had the same dry traction rating of AA but the Fleva had better threadwear if I’m not mistaken. So it was down to either Continental MC6 and the Yokohama Fleva. My experience with Advan tires was that their wet grip are not too good. But we decided to try it anyway. While neither of us are racers, we are not Sunday drivers. As the Mazda is a great car that likes to be pushed to it’s limit we feel it does need a decent set of rubbers to go with it.

So the last few days we have been driving throughout mostly in dry conditions and a few damp conditions. The first thing we noticed is that the ride is much more quieter - I used to listen to the music in the car at 8/9 volume but now we can keep it at 5/6. The ride feels more comfortable and less harsh. But this could be maybe because the tires are new. We are very happy with the grip. I haven’t feel the car giving away. I’m sort of looking forward to driving in heavy rain and see how the tires will handle.

All in all initial observations are good and we are happy with the purchase but these are early days.

I'm looking at 225/45/17 or 225/50/17

was quoted toyo NE03 around RM340 + GST, but read the review, NE03 seems to be more suitable for smaller car.

Atr 2 is not noisy at all! The tyre shop fellow was trying to sell you a higher price tyre so that he can make more! It's perfectly ok for a low profile tyre! I can tell you that it didn't lose out much compared to high end tyre like the conti csc5! 170 km/h and it sticks to the road like glue! laugh.gif

For my ride, below 60 is decent.
If hit deep water level above 80-90 i can feel it my steering drag one side.
Even worst if i drive at 120-130.Have to hold my steering TIGHT.
The feeling just like the speed of evacuation of water not fast enough.
I could't find this issue on my previous continental premium contact 2.

Hmm strange coz my steering just now was pretty steady but yeah I haven't tested above 120kph I suppose. However my tires are much wider than yours so usually should experience worse aquaplaning but yet it was steady. Note that I hit the puddles square on ya, not with just 1 side coz of course if you hit just 1 side, it will always pull to one side no matter what tires you use.

I agree though that CPC2 should have better aquaplaning resistance coz it has a lot more cuts to channel water out but at the expense of dry grip coz CPC2 is a mid-range comfort tire similar to Michelin Primacy while this V12 Evo2 is UHP similar to PS3 category.

I agree though that CPC2 should have better aquaplaning resistance coz it has a lot more cuts to channel water out but at the expense of dry grip coz CPC2 is a mid-range comfort tire similar to Michelin Primacy while this V12 Evo2 is UHP similar to PS3 category.
*
Yes, your size is wider but ur car should be heavier than mine.
So it will offset the imbalance.
Anyway, i could't find this 'pull one side' issue on my previous CPC2 even i hit one side.
In addition, CPC2 has wider aquaplaning channel compared with V12 even it came with 4 grooves . (CPC2 only 3 grooves ) -For my size.
Meanwhile, the grooves did connect to sidewall and this add another space to evacuate the water.
However,the disadvantages is CPC2 too noisy and V12 has lower noise compared with it. rclxms.gif

At the meantime,any recommendation for my next change?
Below is my choices:

PS3
Kumho HS51
P1 cinturato verde
Advan Fleva V701.

Yes, the CPC2 has more cuts especially on the side blocks which help water evacuation further but as I mentioned will be at the expense of dry grip especially during hard cornering as the weight transfer relies on the shoulder blocks to maintain grip. That's why UHP tires mostly have bigger outer blocks for this purpose.
Surprising also that the CPC2 is noisy, it's supposed to be comfort mid-range tires after all! In that case other than good aquaplaning resistance, this tire actually does not have much else to offer, isn't it?

Out of your choices, no brainer go for the PS3 if still available though. It's UHP tire with excellent aquaplaning resistance (you can see the tread cuts also quite a lot especially for a UHP class tire), should be matching if not better than the CPC2 in this regard, yet it should trounce the CPC2 in dry performance. The main weakness of PS3 is it will chip a bit more when driven hard.

Kumho, I would stay way from it coz I never heard any good reviews or feedback form ANY Kumho tires! For Korean tires Hankook is top dog, much better than Kumho or Nexen.

Pirelli P1, that's just entry level comfort tire, maybe similar to CPC2 or even lower! If you want to go for Pirelli mid-range tire, at least go for the P7 (but not sure if available for your size).

V701, got mixed reviews, some here says decent but pro reviews in Europe says it's bad especially in the wet! So I'm not sure about this, but my guess it's not better than the V12 Evo2, maybe worse actually and the price is more expensive too.

Have you checked out the Goodyear F1D5 though if it's available for your size? If it is, then this should come second to the PS3. I've used this before and pretty happy with them, but it also has chipping like PS3 when driven hard.

Bro that is actually not as cheap as you think! Relatively that's only like a bit cheaper than the V12 Evo2 but the V12 Evo2 performance is much more proven. So IMHO that's not really value for money either. For that price you can actually also get Dunlop DZ102 which is probably similar performance too but at least from much more reputable brand and surely more reliable.

Guys,

Currently, I'm using Hankook Ventus V2 Concept2 tire, size 215/45/R17. This tyre actually consider good for me in dry and wet. Thread already reached the indicator,but still can drive. Noise level acceptable even now reached the indicator.

What is the best change?

1). PS3 - not sure still have or not since PS4 launched.
2). Hankook V12 Evo2
3). GY F1D5
4). Yoko Fleva

Thanks bro 6UE5T.

PS4 sure out of budget for this size, rm480 in Penang.
V12Evo2, I think around rm320 without GST6%.

Prices quoted few months ago.

Yeah should be around that. If in Klang Valley, the V12E2 for your size can get slightly cheaper, for around rm290 before GST, very good value for money for a good UHP tire.

Postage not an issue. Problem is which to find a tire shop willingly install them when arrived. I don't think any tire shops would like to help since I'm not buying anything from them.

Yes, bro 6UE5T.
Furthermore, they might charge more for the installation labour cost(no market/std.cost) and end of the day, is almost equivalent to the price in Penang.
Lastly, your old tires no trade-in value since I'm not buying any tire from the shop. Not worth the troublesome.

Actually, I'm reluctant to use Hankook again as currently, still using the Hankook Ventus Concept2. Wanna try our other brands. But, it seems the V12Evo2 really value for money and most probably, I will choose the Hankook V12Evo2.

I'm also looking at GY F1D5, but price is much higher than V12Evo2.

Goodyear ma, 1st tier brand like Michelin/Bridgestone/Continental/Pirelli, while Hankook is 2nd level brand hence much cheaper.
F1D5 is also pretty good though coz I've used that before till totally finished (3.5yrs), it just have much more chipping (like PS3) but it still works fine.

Just want to update everyone on my experience using the tire. While we are happy with the tire grip and performance, I cannot say the same about the quality and reliability. In 22 years that I have driven all sort of vehicles all around using many different brands, this is the first time the tire's sidewall failed after hitting a pothole - about three weeks after using.

I can understand after a few months, and guna tayar brand lain langgar macam macam lubang lagi teruk pun tayar tak pernah koyak sidewall. It's a new tire so I feel that the tire is not strong enough for Malaysian roads (if you make a tire that cannot tahan masuk lubang, don't sell it in Malaysia.

I reported and send the tire for claim with YHI - the distributor for Yokohama tires in Malaysia, and they refuses to replace the 3 weeks old tire saying that it's not the tire's issue. The technician told me he even had a guy who used his tire for 3 days and experienced the same thing - YHI won't replace.

The saddest thing is the follow up took a month for us to get a respond from them. So the next step is that I will both take it to KPDNKK Consumer Tribunal. Next time we need to change the tires for our cars, no Yokohama for us.

tyre manufacturer usually wont claim for such situation.because those are not tyre defect,they are more to road hazards.their procedure to claim tyres usually take at least 2 months above.and believe luck is not on your side.yokohama are indeed good tyres.there are so many users,and i believe majority are satisfy customers.other brand might have such issue too when running into pothole at the right impact and right spot on the tyres.

I think the correct party to claim against is the local council, not against YHI in this instance.

Hmm.. I too had a similar experience which I had posted prior.

I didn't really pursue the matter but I probably won't be returning to the fleva in view of possibility of side wall rapture.

V701 should be better, coz T1R is very old model already and not that good to begin with as a UHP class tire. Neo3 & DRB are even lower class than T1R. I'd say at least it wont be worse than any of those! laugh.gif

You mean the V701? Nope, haven't got the chance to try it actually, coz I have found another better choice which is the Hankook V12 Evo 2. However my assessment above is based on common assumption of tire development in general whereby normally tire technology progress a lot with subsequent new models, hence the older ones very often already several steps behind. I have experienced this with Continental CSC series whereby I had tried the old CSC3 and the replacement CSC5 and the CSC3 was noticeably lacking behind CSC5. So T1R is in this case now. It was never that good to begin with even when it came out new many years ago (it's so long already I even have forgotten how many years this model already in the market), while other tires are already getting more development to come out with newer better performance. So if I were to pick between the V701 which is much newer than T1R, then I believe V701 would be better. But again rather than going with V701 I'd rather pick the V12E2 which has been much more proven (and indeed after using it, I'm very happy with its performance), yet cheaper then V701.

so you are comparing merely because new vs old instead of personal experience ???

hmm.gif

if i can recall correctly previous for the donut of Yokohama A drive vs Yokohama AE01 Bluearth ( newer model )

my vote still go for A drive, i have both donuts in my ride.

the so call newer model / replacement model for A drive, does not mean better, in term of grip and durability also.

now surveying around to upgrade my current T1R, but im afraid the newer tyre cant perform better than current 1, so would appreciate user experience.

hows your V12E2 in wet grip and cornering ?

Well there might be rare cases of old tires being better but generally not, especially considering T1R was already too darn old and was not that good to begin with. Having said that though, the Fleva V701 has also been receiving very mixed reviews but if I were forced to choose one of them, I'd say pick the newer tire.

V12E2 is very good, overall performance is pretty much on similar level as PS3 or Goodyear F1 series. I'm very happy with them, the best bang for the buck IMHO. It's the cheapest yet well proven UHP among the rest. It's surely better than T1R coz T1R was not so good to begin with, having mediocre test results in most comparison tests when it came out. Now this V12E2 managed to beat the newest Goodyear F1A3 in the latest test in US! Price is also much cheaper than the Japan made T1R, even cheaper than the Fleva V701, so I'm pretty confident this V12E2 is your best bet.

I found one seller in Lazada selling V12E2 215/50/R17 at RM373 (excluding valves & alignment/RM32), is this price competitive?
Or can anyone recommend other shops in Klang Valley area?

It seems a bit high, should be below rm350/pc.

Check this seller, they have been selling Hankook with some of the best prices and one forummer here leehernandez already had good experience buying from them: https://www.mudah.my/kok-sport-rim-mudah

There's also this one that seems to give good pricing for Hankook: https://www.mudah.my/ah-wee--s-one-tyre--sp...rim-setia-alam-

You can try Tyres Pro Malaysia Kota Damansara. Price more-less the same. They quoted me all in price including valve and alignment. Good service. Changed mine early this year. But buying through Lazada can use discount voucher + cashback biggrin.gif

Initially I was planning to change to V701 but since the year made was 2016 I chose V12 instead (year made 2017). No regrets though icon_rolleyes.gif

Can get cheaper, find OS Autocare in fb. Bought mine 225/50/17 v12e2 for rm 360 each without gst. 215/50/17 should be cheaper from that shop.

Of course got other UHP tires that can perform better like PS4, CSC5, P Zero PZ4 but they will be much more expensive. At the same price level or cheaper, I haven't found anything else that can match the V12E2 though. Cheaper ones than this will have significant drop in performance already.

The advan fleva V701 was actually the official tyre selected to be used in 2016 sepang 1000km endurance race. I guess being selected to be in an endurance, the tyre would have been tested and fared pretty well as it concerns safety and performance at the same time. From feedback of drivers in endurance race, many of them were quite satisfied with the performance. Good grip in dry and wet in the track and off course, these tyres are driven to its limits during the race I'm sure. And the V701 are not even categorised in the extreme performance group but yet able to command such performance is pretty impressive I would say. I think for its price, good value for money. Got friends using them and spoke highly about them when comparing them to other more premium performance oriented tyres

Bought 2 end of last year. Now I need to replace the 2 other tires. However there is no stock at all for Advan Fleva.

Which tire should I go for that will complement or is the nearest spec with around the same price?

For this size, I'd say the Goodyear F1D5, probably price a bit higher but performance should also be a bit better. Both tires are also directional design.

Well if you read the reviews on those tires, especially the V12E2 & the new FK510, they're also considered very quiet, matching or even beating those so called mid-range comfort tires. The V12E2 was tested for only 67db by Car & Driver Magazine which is very quiet, plus it's also considered to have a softer sidewall (a forummer here who has used both V701 & V12E2 even said the V12E2 is softer!) so it's still pretty comfortable. So I'd highly recommend at least the V12E2 for comfort without sacrificing performance and yet all at a very affordable price, cheaper still than the V701. FYI I'm also using this tire for my wife's and son's cars and very happy with them.

Thanks for the feedback. Might consider them if i need to change tires on my other car.
Me and another friend used the Hankook V2C2 and didn't like them, he's complaining it wear too fast. For me, it was lack of grip and sidewall stiffness

I think I will try the S1N2, read positive review on it and got quoted RM40 cheaper per tire for it.
I'll post my feedback after some km traveled.

V2C2 is mid-range tire, that's why grip not so good. Sidewall stiffness, well if want comfort then sidewall cannot be stiff, something gotta give.

S1N2 is entry level UHP so 1 class below the V12E2, so the grip also will not be as good but surely it will last much longer (TW 500 vs TW 320 on the V12E2). V12E2 is very similar like PS3 basically, just slightly better in the dry and less noisy.

Yeah, can't have them all... that car of mine is using Yoko Advan Neova AD08R (still the best tires i ever used) previously, but way too expensive for the wallet.
It's now on Maxxis Victra I-pro... good tires this (so far)

AD08R is extreme category and sidewall stiff coz got steel inserts there, dry grip is surely excellent but wet especially on heavy rain should slow down coz not much water channels. It also will finish very fast, even faster than RE003 I think. Definitely not suitable for comfort. biggrin.gif

Yeah, many said that about the AD08R (bad wet grip and wear fast)

But I find it has excellent wet grip (not driving in the track of course lah..), very even wear rate which make it last much longer than my other tires.

Yeah, many said that about the AD08R (bad wet grip and wear fast)

But I find it has excellent wet grip (not driving in the track of course lah..), very even wear rate which make it last much longer than my other tires.

It think wet grip without puddles should be ok but if water level a bit much then aquaplaning should be more pronounced, is it? I mean compared to normal UHP tires like PS3 for example which is well know to have excellent aquaplaning resistance. How many km can they go on your car?

So far didn't find any issue with aquaplaning with the AD08R.
From experience bad alignment (especially toe) cause more aquaplaning problem for me compared to tires
My guess if the grooves are not properly parallel to the direction of travel, then water cannot be evacuated from it efficiently.
Maybe the bad experiences with aquaplaning few times previously make me drive much slower in the wet, so no longer aquaplane.

Sorry, didn't note down the km when i changed it sweat.gif . Was using it for 3+ years.

Finally can update on this thread since my tires are almost up for a change. Overall, I'm quite happy with the tires for the price I paid and its performance. The noise level is still surprisingly good even when worn out, outperformed even my previous set of PS3. One of the tires (front right) has some tearing on the outer thread. Im pretty sure I have never driven fast on stones, otherwise all four tires will have the same cuts. Other than that, I really have zero complaint about them.

My cousin who had the same tires (after I recommended them) didnt fare as well as mine did. Im not sure whether its his driving style, allignment/toe problem, but both his front tires are bolded on the outer thread. Im pretty used to soft tires wearing out its outer thread faster but not this serious.

Im kinda inclined to try another set after the good experience but I will survey the market to see if there are any better deals. Saw Toyo TR1 and to be honest, the design simply scream "I'll be loud".

New tires will be quiet regardless of road condition and tyre brand.

I think if you are used to UHP tires, then you will have a rough idea how they will sound when they are worn out. I started with the most noisy tires which is Eagle F1 (V shaped thread). Then to Michelin PS3 which is much better when worn out but now I think Fleva is even better than PS3 when worn out. The only tires which I tried quite long ago and really live up to the name is Falken ST115. It is really quiet but I dont know if anyone can bear with the 15K-20K mileage before totally botak even when you are just driving normally.

Opps, forgot to answer... I stayed in Kepong.

I used re003 and ps3.

For me same same only.

But when travelled on highway. Ps3 is better. Re003 once pass 20k mark, very noisy. But the drip is superb. Noise for me is minor. I want grip only.

And klamg road..... My god....... For the love of God. I wish I don't need to stay here.

If you really need the grip only, why are you complaining? You might even opt for those even higher performance tires.

Not complaining la.. just curious on the road conditions will really effect the tyre noise.

AD08R is extreme category and sidewall stiff coz got steel inserts there, dry grip is surely excellent but wet especially on heavy rain should slow down coz not much water channels. It also will finish very fast, even faster than RE003 I think. Definitely not suitable for comfort.  biggrin.gif

Depends on what you prioritise...

I want a comfort uhp and Fleva outperform PS3. For just pure performance, PS3 maybe better. Fleva screamed a lot when being pushed, while PS3 just understeer cool and calm. If I'm looking for performance only, the CSC5 on my wife car is miles better than both.

V12E2 should match V701 comfort and would give better performance too.

Yes CSC5 is an excellent tire, actually can still almost match PS4. Try the newer Extreme Contact Sport, even better than CSC5.
