“Tread Life on the Yokohama Advan Sport V105 I’ve seen lots of posts both on here, and various forums about poor tread life on the stock STi tyres, the Yokohama Advan Sport V105. I made a little video checking the tread around the vehicle and I’ve found so far this is fantastic, 10,000kms in and still with more than 7mm of tread on all four corners. Really interested to know what you’re all getting out of your stock tyres, and if you’ve changed these to anything else? I’m looking at the Michelin PS4S as the next set.”

Higher is better. The Relative Score follows your weights below; category scores do not change.
Wet grip starts at “Important”. Treadwear starts at “Neutral” here: road tests measured it for at most one of the two tires, so it rests on owner reviews. Move the sliders and the scores update instantly.
Only one of the two tires has a score here, so this weight changes nothing in the head-to-head.

Themes extracted from owner reviews found online — not the opinion of TireWheelGuide.
From Reddit, forums and review threads. Not part of our score
Community discussions around the Bridgestone Turanza T001 largely center on replacement decisions, tire longevity, and tread aging. Users note that the tire provides a good balance of comfort, durability, and low road noise compared to sportier alternatives, though owners frequently question surface cracking after four years of use.
“Bridgestone turanza t001 do I need to replace them with these small cracks ? It’s 4 year old since production and is it dangerous to travel alot with these small cracks?”
“Just got a new set of tyres - Bridgestone Turanza T001 215/60/R16 at 77k kms.”
“If you can, stick to the same tyre all around as mentioned, don’t mix brands or models. So if you're keeping the Turanza T001s up front, rather just get the same ones for the rear. The S001 is more performance-focused, but the T001 offers a better balance of comfort and durability. It’s quieter, rides smoother, and tends to last longer. That said, if you’re thinking about moving to something sportier, skip the S001 and go straight to the Potenza Sport. It’s a newer and more advanced tyre, still within the Bridgestone family, and a solid upgrade in terms of grip and responsiveness.”
Based on 8 community posts
Community discussions reflect mixed impressions regarding the Yokohama ADVAN Sport V105, highlighting both praise for its wet and dry handling along with debates surrounding its tread life. While some drivers report surprisingly durable treadwear and good overall value, others cite reports of poor tread life and note that ride comfort and road noise may trail competitor offerings.
“Advan Sport V105 does get a good tirerack review: Comes in 205/55-16 (three models. Mercedes W and V speed rated and 2010 Production) $83-86 each Not as comfortable or quiet as other Max Summer tires but handles well in both dry and wet. If you prefer to keep the 205/50-16 tire size then for street use and daily driving with a slightly higher budget: Michelin Premier A/S Grand Touring All Season $132 each 640 treadwear, V speed rated, 19 lbs. Tirerack test result- Good blend of comfort and handling with much longer treadlife.”

Every category score blends two independent signals. 60% comes from professional tire tests (braking distances, lap times, noise measurements), each result compared with every other tire in the same test and newer tests counting more. 40% comes from owner reviews found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates. Both use one scale: the average tested tire gets 70, the best 100. When a tire has only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from the other and the score stays closer to average; with no road test and fewer than five owner reviews it gets no score yet.
Handling is the exception: road tests measure it inside the dry and wet scores, so its own row comes from owner ratings only and starts as less important.
