Yokohama ADVAN Fleva V701

[vr2turbo]

i am still running on common tires NCT5 felt these are already better than the old set of rubbers that i got rid of (some Dunlop if not mistaken), all cos i haven't been exposed to stickier rubbers :s:

been looking and reading into all you sifus opinions on tires, been eyeing on the RE003 as my next replacement but these V701s are looking so promising!

NCT5 ok when new. Problem is their thread pattern sipes are too shallow and disappear after just 30 percent wear or so and the wet grip suffers

 

[vr2turbo]

I am using RE003 on my car, and yes, during Wet days is not that good compared to PS3. When new it is quite good, but when use more than 50% that time, it is really not inspiring confidence in wet.

But not as bad as those NCT5 or so i guess... As previous i was using CC5 and MC5, it was really bad...

Not a fair comparison, NCT5 is HP, MC5 is mid comfort tyres, CC5 is entry level. RE003 and PS3 are UHP tyres

 

[6UE5t]

RE-003 is not mistaken Traction rating A only. PS3 and V701 are AA rated. Straight line grooves RE-003 less and shoulder is smaller. PS3 3 grooves much larger, V701 have 4 grooves

Yup RE003 (wet) traction rating is only A. RE003 is more geared towards dry as PS3 is more towards wet, aquaplaning specifically. In fact BS hardly has any tire with AA traction rating, maybe only the S-04!? :hmmmm:

Hopefully this new v701 is more balanced between dry & wet, like my CSC5. PS4 should also be like CSC5 and even better, just not available in smaller sizes (luckily still got my 17's).

Yah! Their max performance tyres are rated A only

Re003 wet not good. Should have more than 50% thread still.
That day I skidded nicely while cornering out raining day.

I think tyres generally degrade way before 50% as the tyre start to emit more noise and signs of firm ride

Well, cannot compare to when new. Thread pattern less, rubber compound harden, pattern uneven wear......

 

[kUmUcHaI 11/1]

I see I see.
But it is really abit slippery now. So many thread still.
Sigh. If not, I also try ps3.

drive slower lor.....

 

[vr2turbo]

drive slower lor.....

Sometimes cannot tahan leh! Like my friend in Evo X on extreme tyres drive 80kph in rain, fast fast wear off the tyres now on Pilot Super sports.....

 

[ixeo]

Skidded that day. So afraid of cornering during wet now.

More details please? Speed? Corner? Sober/drunk?

And did you drive over the lines or studs on the road (if any)? Cause if you drive over those at speed in the rain you're gonna skid very fast (I learned that the hard way). Even PS3 won't save you.

 

[vr2turbo]

Over the lines is paint not road.....lol

 

[sweelt]

Just be ready for any unforseen probability if driving during rain. Malaysia road, fast lane also have pool of water.

I am sure got quite many users but not much feedback and reviews on them. Probably forum members are the ones not using and waiting for reviews first.....lol
