From owners
Pros, cons & observations
Themes extracted from owner reviews across retailers and review sites — not the opinion of TireWheelGuide.
The Yokohama Advan Sport V105 is widely regarded as a high-performance summer tire that excels in dry handling, steering responsiveness, and wet-weather confidence. While many users praise its balanced nature and value compared to premium rivals, some report concerns regarding tread longevity and noise levels, particularly as the tires age.
Pros
- Excellent dry road grip and cornering stability
- Strong wet-weather performance and hydroplaning resistance
- High level of steering feedback and turn-in precision
- Competitive pricing compared to other flagship performance brands
- Predictable handling characteristics at the limit
Cons
- Faster-than-average tread wear, especially under spirited driving
- Increased road noise reported by some users
- Performance drop-off in freezing temperatures and snow
- Occasional 'flat-spotting' or vibration after the vehicle has been stationary for extended periods
Observations
- Owners of lightweight sports cars like the Mazda MX-5 report excellent handling balance and longevity, often citing the tire as an ideal OE-style replacement.
- Drivers of high-torque, rear-wheel-drive sedans (e.g., BMW 5-series, Audi S4) note that while grip is impressive, rear tire wear is significantly accelerated compared to front tires.
- Some users with larger luxury sedans noted that the tire's 'firm' construction can lead to a harsher ride over small road imperfections.
The Yokohama S.Drive is a polarizing high-performance summer tire that excels in dry conditions with predictable, progressive handling and strong cornering grip. While many users praise its longevity and value, a significant portion of the user base reports inconsistent performance in wet weather, ranging from confidence-inspiring to dangerously slippery, alongside complaints regarding road noise and ride harshness.
Pros
- Predictable and progressive handling in dry conditions
- Strong dry-weather cornering grip and steering response
- Commendable tread life and durability for a performance-oriented tire
- Good value for money compared to premium competitors
Cons
- Inconsistent and sometimes poor wet-weather traction
- Noticeable road noise, particularly at highway speeds
- Stiff sidewalls leading to a harsh ride quality
- Sensitivity to temperature and pressure, affecting grip levels
Observations
- Users with lightweight, mechanical-steering vehicles (e.g., older hatchbacks) often report improved handling and reduced understeer.
- High-horsepower vehicles (300+ BHP) frequently report that the tire struggles to put power down effectively compared to dedicated ultra-high-performance tires.
- Convertible owners noted that road noise is more pronounced due to the lack of cabin sound insulation.

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.
