Yokohama Advan V107E
Meet the Yokohama Advan V107E, a max-performance summer tire built for confident grip, quick turn-in, and steady high-speed composure. An asymmetric tread and reinforced shoulders translate steering inputs with precision, and wide grooves clear water to keep traction in the rain. The warm-weather compound delivers strong braking and reliable dry grip as temperatures climb. It blends daily comfort with the sharp feedback enthusiasts want, making it a smart upgrade for spirited driving in warm conditions.
Key Features and Specifications
The Advan V107E delivers the performance that matters day to day. An asymmetric layout pairs a solid center rib for on-center feel with firm outer shoulders for cornering support. Wide circumferential grooves and efficient lateral channels move water fast to improve wet braking and reduce hydroplaning risk. Its summer compound favors dry traction and precise steering, and many sizes mirror OE load and speed ratings for clean, factory-style fitment.
Performance on Dry and Wet Roads
On dry pavement the Advan V107E feels direct and planted. The stiff outer shoulder builds lateral grip as speeds rise, while the center rib helps it track straight and stay calm over long highway runs. In the rain, wide grooves and open channels clear standing water, supporting confident braking and predictable grip. As a summer tire it works best above 45°F/7°C, so switch to winter tires when temperatures drop or snow is in the forecast.
Tread Design and Technology
The Advan V107E uses an asymmetric pattern so each zone does a specific job. The inner shoulder and intermediate ribs aid water evacuation and steady braking, while the outer shoulder carries larger, more rigid blocks for cornering stability. A continuous center rib sharpens steering response and straight-line tracking. The warm-weather compound provides high friction on dry roads and dependable wet grip, and multi-pitch block sequencing helps keep cabin noise in check.
Sizes and Fitment Guide
The Advan V107E comes in popular performance sizes for modern sedans and coupes, including 225/50R18, 245/50R19, and 255/45R20. Always match size, load index, and speed rating to your door-jamb label or owner manual, since some vehicles require OE-style specs for stability systems and compliance. If you are replacing only two tires, mount the new pair on the rear axle to preserve wet stability. For staggered setups or plus-sizing, our fitment team can confirm the best V107E configuration for your car.
Price and How to Buy
Advan V107E pricing varies by size, load and speed rating, and current availability. Check your size for live pricing, then add a full set of four for the best value and balanced handling. We offer fast shipping, secure checkout, and optional road-hazard coverage at purchase. If your vehicle specifies an OE version, choose the exact size and indexes to maintain factory performance, or contact support for a quick fitment check before you buy.
Advan V107 vs. V107E: What’s the Difference?
Both are ultra-high-performance summer tires, and the V107E typically denotes an OE-tuned variant in select sizes. Depending on application, the V107E may use size-specific construction, load and speed ratings, or subtle compound and tread tweaks to meet a vehicle maker's targets. If your door-jamb label or manual calls out a specific spec, match it to preserve handling and safety systems. If you are not tied to an OE spec, choose the correct size and indexes for a straightforward summer upgrade.
Popular Sizes and Fitment Notes (225/50R18, 245/50R19, 255/45R20)
Popular Advan V107E sizes include 225/50R18 for many sport sedans, 245/50R19 for larger performance trims, and 255/45R20 often used on staggered rear fitments. Some BMW and other performance models require specific load and speed ratings, so match the door-jamb label to maintain stability control calibration and speed compliance. For staggered setups, confirm front and rear diameters stay within tolerance to protect ABS and DSC systems. If you are moving from run-flat OE tires to standard tires, consider a mobility kit or roadside plan.
Owner Reviews and Test Impressions
Owners praise the V107E for its direct steering, composed highway manners, and reassuring wet-road performance for a summer tire. Many note a predictable breakaway and low cabin noise for the category. As with any summer design, grip fades in cold weather, so switch to dedicated winter tires when temperatures stay below 45°F/7°C. Professional tests often highlight its balance of grip and day-to-day refinement, making it an appealing choice if you want sharp feedback without a harsh ride.
