Yokohama Advan Fleva V701. FEATURES AND BENEFITS: Summer weather traction; High speed controllability; High driving comfort levels; . OVERVIEW: The Yokohama Advan Fleva V701 is a performance and high performance, summer tire manufactured for passenger vehicles and SUVs.The tire promotes a secure summer weather performance. The special NanoBlend silica compound and the directional tread design enhance the dry and wet weather road gripping ability. The silica compound keeps the rubber flexibility and prevents heat build-up in high heat temperatures, while the tread design firmly grips the road surface throughout the drive. The detailed tread's circumferential jagged grooves, the drop point grooves and the special NanoBlend compound avoid hydroplaning and further improve the wet weather traction. In this manner, the tire guarantees a safer summer weather driving experience.The optimal tread design upgrades the tire's controllability. The directional pattern's solid center rib improves the steering responsiveness and the driving stability. The better road contact of the tread enables the tire's faster and more precise responsiveness to the driver's steering instructions, while it boosts the structural stability during the drive. The solid shoulder pattern with the ideally placed grooves improves the cornering and maneuvering ability. These tread elements enhance the grip on the road surface during cornering. The directional tread design, the durable NanoBlend compound and the stronger construction work together to enhance the high speed durability and performing ability.The Advan Fleva V701 upgrades the comfort levels. The tread design features a 2-in-1 pitch sequence, one on the shoulder areas and a different one on the tread's center area, which lowers the road and tread pattern noise heard in the vehicle's cabin. These pitch sequences create a sound-frequency that negates the sound waves generated while the tires are in motion. As a result, the road and tread pattern noise cannot reach the vehicle's cabin and road disturbances cannot ruin the passengers' driving enjoyment. This guarantees a quiet and comfortable drive. Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored before they are sold, the year of their manufacture will not shorten their service life.
