“Yokohama Advan Fleva V701 in 2026 Do they make sense today? I’d put them on a hatchback (1300kg) and I usually drive up to 180-200 km/h with quick accelerations and curves in my daily. Weather is usually sunny, but sometimes it rains. Are them still a safe and a good choice, or are there some other brands that should result better for my driving style (and for my 215/45 r18 rims)? Thanks in advance.”

Community opinion on the Yokohama ADVAN Fleva V701 is generally very positive, with users frequently considering them as affordable, high-performing summer tires ideal for daily driving, spirited backroad runs, and wet conditions. Many drivers compare them favorably or as cost-effective alternatives to premium options like Michelin Pilot Sports, though questions occasionally arise regarding their exact lifespan and wear compared to all-season alternatives.
“Suggestiona on tyres Hi everyone, Just wanted to ask if you guys ever had Yokohama Advan Fleva V701. My FK2 has nearly 400bhp and I’m not using it daily anymore as I want it to preserve the baby. My drive is a bit aggressive occasionally but nothing crazy or track day as I don’t have the time. I would like to know if you guys ever had this specific type of tyre. What you think about? They’re actually good? I wouldn’t like to buy again the Michelin pilot sport 4s which I found absolutely rubbish. I found those yoko for the decent price of 98£ each. So I buy it or should I move to Pirelli PZero pZ4 sport ?”
“Yokohama advan fleva v701? Currently looking at stock sizes for my 99 MRS and the v701s are the only decent set I can find. I live in Canada and I was planning on ordering them for next week, and just thought to do one more validation check before driving out to Bellingham. Pretty new to picking out my own tires, trying to also stay within 550-600usd or maxish 800-850cad including tax if possible.”

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.
Community buzz from Reddit and forums is shown for context only — it never changes the score.
