Waah.... it seems a good tire.
Really looking for 245/45/17 as my rims 8.5JJ
This type of thread really my favorite as I'm using FEDERAL 595 Super Steel (no longer in production)

The best I could found just Dunlop SP Sport Maxx 050+ (still in consideration)

anyone got tyre price indication?

For that size got many options, best ones if price is not a concern I would think are PS4 followed by CSC5. But this v701 seems very enticing also coz much cheaper than those.

anyone got tyre price indication?

So far seems competitive, just a bit higher than Hankook V12 Evo 2 and below RE003.

On tyre price, just to inform, heard that prices going up next month.
China brand already up in January.....:rolleyes:

Compare to its peers, it's priced fairly. Go for it and give us a review!

His PS3 still have pattern if not mistaken......

Yeah, my PS3 still left about 60-70%. So I won't be touching that for a while. If this Yoko Fleva has 205/50/17 I would not mind trying. If not I think I wanna go back to Assymetric from GY. Grip wasn't as fantastic as PS3 but so so so much quieter.

Yes the Fleva would have 205/50/17, see in this press release:

I thought they launched already back in Dec event in Sepang, no?
Assy2 doesn't have 205/50/17, so not sure if Assy3 will have or not.

Btw Yokohama will have another new Advan tire, the A052 to replace the A048. Size range from 16-18.

I saw the post in FB from T3 Tire:

Oh! now only coming, read about them somewhere 3rd quarter 2016....
Seems got many sizes, but T3 only 2 sizes....

Niamah most new tyres coming in 16" and up... sad. So far doesn't seem this V701 > PS3 in wet...

 

[tonyy2999]

i have good experience using Yokohama Advan db V551.

anyone know if there is any new model in Yoko that replacing the V551?

it seems like the advan db line is gone, i am not sure...

 

[vr2turbo]

Should be the Bluearth AE-50.....

Latest test involving the Fleva, result not so good, seems to focus more on dry & comfort! :D

Also the F1A3 ends up below expectation, just mid field surprisingly.

Looks like next tire change I'll just pick either the CSC5 again or PS4. Or maybe the new Falken Azenis FK510, seems good value for money based on the above test! :D

Walaneh... I do trust Auto Bild... that means the V701 is... rubbish. Yawn, so boring for 15" sizes. Nothing new for us.

Now car manufacturers all coming out with 18" and 19" rims.. this is crazy, heavy rims, expensive rubbers, and all for what? Look? Stupid.
