Tyre reviews Yokohama Advan Fleva V701. Page 20 307

The tires are excellent, not noisy, and they handle the road perfectly in the rain ?

Noise directly depends on the quality of the coating - on fresh asphalt, it's completely quiet, on rolled-out asphalt, the noise is very small. In turns, it's quite gripping, up to a slight squeal before the start of skidding. I won't comment on wear, the mileage is small

On emotions, but I'll try to be brief.

From the factory, it was equipped with Continental (Premium Contact 5 215.55.18 97W Czech Republic) which seemed noisy at first, but after a couple of thousand kilometers, they became normal. I drove on them for 3 full seasons, about 55,000 km. Towards the end, when the tires became slick, I started looking for quieter and softer tires (hello, Skoda suspension!). They recommended this tire for the D2 and the store said they were quiet, so I bought them (in the city, from a store that had them in stock). I drove the first couple of thousand kilometers smoothly to break them in, then we went on vacation (to the border) on the highway, and these tires were awful! Moreover, the Superb was fully equipped with a Euro suspension! After switching to Euro suspension twice, with a 1-month interval, the suspension was fine (ttt), we took it to the service station twice, they checked and shook it... But it reacts VERY strongly to road tracks!!! It simply throws you out of the track and wobbles like you're driving a VAZ 2102 with worn-out shock absorbers (like in the 90s). On smooth new asphalt, of course, it's perfect, but it feels even the slightest track very strongly, immediately pulls and it's impossible to steer - it throws you out! I can't say that they're quieter than the Continental Premium Contact 6! They're not better than Continental in terms of hardness, comfort, or quietness.

Moreover, at start-ups, the traction is terrible! The tires screech and slip! On Continentals, the front end jumps up, as I explain: the traction is very good, the transmission wants to spin the wheel, but the front-wheel drive can't handle it, i.e., the traction is strong and the wheel spins but can't pull the car, it jumps up to spin! That's what happens... on Yoko, this doesn't happen, it just grinds.

Braking on 4+ is not a problem, and it doesn't screech in turns.

My rating is 3.

If you want a quiet, comfortable tire, this model is definitely not it! To clarify: specifically on the Skoda Superb 2017 with 225.55.17 tires on 7J rims! For 7J rims, you can put wheels from 215 to 225.

I do not recommend it for active driving!

Good tire, quiet, comfortable, middle of the road in tests but with a minimal difference from the test leaders, I'm overall satisfied with the tire, actually, I can only compare with Yokohama other models.

Good drainage grooves. I think it will ride well over puddles. Riding only on dry roads so far. Clutch is reliable. Engages nicely in corners. Due to low mileage, it still makes some noise, but according to reviews, it should smooth out after break-in.

I have ordered this model of tires for the second time - they have proven themselves again!

Covered 2500 km, still really impressed with the tire. Much quieter than the previous Viatti and handle corners much better, including on wet asphalt. Initially seem soft but a couple of curb scrapes and almost imperceptible wear marks on the tire did not appear. Money paid was not wasted!

The tire is on my wife's car. I've driven it a few times - it's good. The tire is quiet, and the handling is good.

Excellent tire delivery and everything is just super, the car even on a wet road is controlled at 100%!

The vehicle dynamics need to be taken into account when designing a tire for a particular vehicle.
