Yokohama Tire ADVAN Fleva V701

Yokohama’s Performance Summer Tire

Yokohama Tire has added a new member to its iconic ultra high-performance ADVAN line: the ADVAN Fleva V701. Now available in the U.S., the V- and W-rated Fleva comes in 67 sizes with 15- to 20-inch fitments, and is designed to offer superb wet and dry braking, crisp handling and a quiet ride.

“The ADVAN Fleva V701 was developed for customers who are looking to elevate their driving experience,” said Duane Sampson, Yokohama product marketing manager. “As Yokohama’s latest ultra high-performance summer tire, it features a silica-infused compound combined with tread features engineered to provide confidence in both wet and dry conditions while keeping road noise to a minimum.”

Benefits of the Fleva:

• Powerful wet braking, which is achieved by jagged circumferential grooves that resist hydroplaning for shorter stops.
• Quick, precise handling thanks to solid outside ribs that increase block stiffness for high-speed stability.
• Excellent lateral grip for high-speed wet performance is provided by the drop point grooves, which move the water from under the tread.
• A quiet ride is ensured via the offset tread pattern that increases stability and reduces pattern noise.

Power Automedia tested the Fleva V701 on smooth highways, bumpy streets, and curvy back roads. See what they learned.
