Tyre review for Yokohama Advan Fleva V701 225/45R18 95W XL
It took an exceptionally long time for these tyres to settle. To begin with, they made the car jittery and caused vibrations. I checked the balance and tracking twice, and all appeared fine. I had previously used the Pirelli P Zero and was not particularly happy with how quickly they wore out, so having read reviews for Mercedes, I selected these tyres as they appeared to have good reviews and were priced fairly. After 8000 miles, the vibrations finally stopped and I was worried that there was something seriously wrong with my car! In comparison to what was advertised, the noise level is not as expected. They were meant to be quiet yet minimal tread noise turned into a constant hum at certain speeds. I chose these as they were meant to have lower levels of noise as I wanted to quieter tyres as I transport clients. I have been extremely disappointed with these tyres and will definitely be looking for a different brand next time. I will be avoiding Bridgestone as they have previously let me down worse. I may have to go back to Pirelli as they did not cause me issues with handling or noise.
