Yokohama Advan Fleva V701
Meet the Yokohama Advan Fleva V701, an ultra-high-performance summer tire built for quick steering, confident wet grip, and a quiet ride. Its directional tread sweeps water into wide circumferential grooves to cut hydroplaning risk, and a silica-rich summer compound holds grip when the pavement is warm. Sturdy shoulder blocks and a stable center rib keep cornering predictable and on-center feel solid. If you want agile handling without giving up daily comfort, the Advan Fleva V701 suits sporty hatchbacks, sedans, and coupes.
Key Features and Specifications
The Advan Fleva V701 uses a directional tread with broad lateral channels to move water off the contact patch. A summer-focused compound delivers dependable grip in heat, while a continuous center rib improves high-speed stability and direct steering. Reinforced shoulders add cornering support and braking bite, and many sizes include a rim protector. Size-specific details vary, so check the listing for load index, speed rating, UTQG, rim width range, section width, overall diameter, and tread depth.
Wet and Dry Performance
On dry roads, the stiff center rib and rigid shoulders promote crisp turn-in, steady tracking, and confident braking. The contact patch is tuned for a progressive breakaway, so feedback stays predictable during spirited driving. In the wet, deep circumferential grooves and angled channels evacuate standing water to help limit hydroplaning and maintain grip in sudden maneuvers. Remember, this is a summer UHP tire, optimized for warm weather agility rather than cold use.
Seasonal Use and Temperature Guidance
The Advan Fleva V701 is a summer-only design. Its compound can harden near freezing, which cuts grip and can lead to cracking if driven or flexed while cold. Avoid snow and ice completely. If temperatures in your area regularly approach freezing, switch to winter tires and store the V701 in a cool, dry place away from sun and heat, then allow it to warm above 32 F before moving the vehicle.
Comfort, Noise, and Daily Driving
Despite its sporty focus, the Advan Fleva V701 keeps cabin noise in check with a directional pattern and varied pitch. On typical commutes it rides composed and quiet for the class, with firmer feedback than touring tires to preserve precision. Rough pavement is felt a bit more, since the structure prioritizes handling. If you want a lively feel without highway drone, this tire strikes a smart balance of stability, quietness, and response.
Sizes, Fitment, and Ratings
The Advan Fleva V701 comes in popular performance sizes for sporty compacts and sedans, with load and speed ratings matched to each size. Common enthusiast fitments span 17 to 19 inches, making it a frequent pick for roadsters, hot hatches, and sport sedans. Always match size, load index, and speed rating to your vehicle's door-jamb label or owner manual. If you have upsized wheels, confirm rim width compatibility and required ratings, or contact our team for a quick check.
Treadwear, Mileage, and Care
As a summer UHP tire, the V701 trades some tread life for grip and precision. Mileage depends on driving style, alignment, inflation, road surface, and rotation intervals. For best results, maintain OE pressures, rotate every 5,000 to 7,500 miles, and verify alignment, especially after suspension work. UTQG ratings vary by size and help with broad comparisons within the category, but they are not a mileage guarantee.
Price and How to Buy
Price depends on size, load and speed rating, and current promotions. Larger diameters and higher ratings generally cost more. Select your vehicle or tire size to see live pricing, availability, and shipping options, then add to cart for secure checkout. Watch for seasonal offers and install bundles, and reach out if you need a quick fitment recommendation.
Advan Fleva V701 vs Alternatives
Within the summer UHP class, the Advan Fleva V701 leans into wet-road confidence, sharp steering, and low noise for daily use. Some rivals may deliver firmer track responses or longer projected wear, while others tilt toward touring comfort. If you value lively street handling and strong rain performance at a compelling price, the V701 is a balanced choice. Frequent track participants may prefer an extreme-performance tire, and long-distance commuters may like a performance-touring model for extra plushness.
Advan Fleva V701 vs Michelin Pilot Sport 4/5
Compared with Michelin Pilot Sport 4 or 5 lines, the Advan Fleva V701 emphasizes value, wet grip assurance, and everyday quietness. Pilot Sport models are known for broad sizing and premium refinement that can appeal to drivers seeking the most upscale feel. Choose based on priorities, top-tier polish and tech from the Pilot Sport family, or balanced summer performance and strong pricing from the V701. Either way, match the exact size and rating your vehicle requires.
Advan Fleva V701 vs Yokohama S.drive
Versus the older S.drive, the Advan Fleva V701 brings more modern wet-grip efficiency, lower noise, and better day-to-day comfort while keeping a sporty character. The directional pattern and updated compound move water efficiently and stabilize the tread for predictable handling. If you are replacing a worn S.drive set, the V701 feels familiar but more refined for spirited street driving. Always compare the exact size, load index, and speed rating you need.
