From owners
Pros, cons & observations
Themes extracted from owner reviews across retailers and review sites — not the opinion of TireWheelGuide.
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.
The Yokohama Advan Fleva V701 is widely regarded as a high-value, street-oriented summer performance tire that excels in dry grip and steering responsiveness. While it is a favorite among owners of lightweight sports cars like the Mazda MX-5 and Toyota MR2, users note that its softer sidewall construction prioritizes ride comfort over the razor-sharp precision required for dedicated track use.
Pros
- Excellent dry weather traction and predictable handling near the limit.
- Strong value proposition, offering performance comparable to premium tires at a lower price point.
- Surprisingly quiet and comfortable ride quality for a performance-oriented tire.
- Good availability in niche, smaller rim sizes (e.g., 15-inch) that are often neglected by other manufacturers.
- Reliable wet weather performance for daily driving conditions.
Cons
- Softer sidewalls can lead to a 'bouncy' or less precise feel during aggressive cornering.
- Inconsistent tread life reports, with some users experiencing rapid wear under spirited driving or improper alignment.
- Not suitable for track-day abuse, as the compound can overheat and lose grip during extended high-intensity sessions.
- Some reports of increased road noise on specific asphalt surfaces or after the tire has aged.
- Occasional quality control issues, such as tires being 'out of round' or difficult to balance.
Observations
- Owners of lightweight sports cars (Miata, MR2, Honda CRX) frequently praise the tire for balancing daily comfort with enough grip for spirited back-road driving.
- Users with heavier or more powerful vehicles occasionally report that the tire's sidewall flex is noticeable, leading to a less 'planted' feel compared to stiffer UHP alternatives.
- Drivers running 15-inch and 16-inch sizes appreciate the tire as one of the few remaining high-performance options for their vehicles.

“Suggestiona on tyres Hi everyone, Just wanted to ask if you guys ever had Yokohama Advan Fleva V701. My FK2 has nearly 400bhp and I’m not using it daily anymore as I want it to preserve the baby. My drive is a bit aggressive occasionally but nothing crazy or track day as I don’t have the time. I would like to know if you guys ever had this specific type of tyre. What you think about? They’re actually good? I wouldn’t like to buy again the Michelin pilot sport 4s which I found absolutely rubbish. I found those yoko for the decent price of 98£ each. So I buy it or should I move to Pirelli PZero pZ4 sport ?”

“Yokohama Advan Fleva V701 in 2026 Do they make sense today? I’d put them on a hatchback (1300kg) and I usually drive up to 180-200 km/h with quick accelerations and curves in my daily. Weather is usually sunny, but sometimes it rains. Are them still a safe and a good choice, or are there some other brands that should result better for my driving style (and for my 215/45 r18 rims)? Thanks in advance.”

“Yokohama advan fleva v701? Currently looking at stock sizes for my 99 MRS and the v701s are the only decent set I can find. I live in Canada and I was planning on ordering them for next week, and just thought to do one more validation check before driving out to Bellingham. Pretty new to picking out my own tires, trying to also stay within 550-600usd or maxish 800-850cad including tax if possible.”

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.
