Tire B Yokohama ADVAN A11A

The Yokohama Advan A11A is generally regarded as a capable, performance-oriented tire that offers predictable handling and strong dry-weather grip. While users appreciate its longevity and rigid sidewall feedback, there are notable concerns regarding long-term structural integrity and wet-weather braking performance.

Pros

  • Confident dry-weather cornering and handling
  • Excellent braking performance in dry conditions
  • High durability and long tread life
  • Good road feedback and rigid sidewall construction

Cons

  • Concerns regarding structural integrity, specifically sidewall splitting over time
  • Mediocre performance and braking confidence on wet surfaces
  • Firm ride quality that may be uncomfortable for some drivers

Observations

  • The tire is noted for maintaining consistent performance characteristics over high mileage, with one user reporting successful use over 70,000 km.
  • The tire's rigid sidewalls are specifically praised for providing clear road feedback, which some drivers find beneficial for spirited rear-wheel-drive applications.

How do we compare tires?

Every category score blends two independent signals. 60% comes from professional tire tests (braking distances, lap times, noise measurements) normalized against the best tire in each test and weighted toward recent tests. 40% comes from thousands of owner reviews collected from retailers and review sites. When a tire has only one of the two, we use what exists and say so.

Community buzz from Reddit and forums is shown for context only — it never changes the score.
