Yokohama Advan Sport V107. FEATURES AND BENEFITS: Summer weather traction; High speed controllability; Upgraded maneuvering; High driving comfort levels; . OVERVIEW: The Yokohama Advan Sport V107 is a high performance, summer tire manufactured for passenger vehicles and SUVs.Summer weather traction is promoted with the compound and the tread design. The stronger summer compound and the asymmetric tread pattern with the minimalistic detail upgrade the dry and wet weather traction. The stronger compound allows the tire to effectively avoid heat build-up, while the better road-to-rubber ratio allows the tire to keep surface contact at all times. This combination ensures the tire's secure summer performance. The circumferential grooves prevent hydroplaning by dispersing water from the footprint, further upgrades the wet weather performing capability.The ribbed tread design of the asymmetric tread design and the heat-resistant compound upgrade the high speed controllability. The tread ensures the surface contact enhances the steering responsiveness and driving stability as well, boosting the driver's better control over the vehicle at all times. The model promotes a faster and precise steering response, while securing the structural stability. The stronger construction keeps the ideal tire shape, while the tread and compound effectively prevent heat build-up. This combination greatly improves the tire's high speed performing power.Maneuvering is also improved with the optimized tread elements. The model's ideal shoulder block placement, optimized surface contact and stronger compound increase the cornering and braking powers. The ideal shoulder block placement allows the tire to improve the cornering power with the use of extra biting edges, upgrading the cornering ability. The better contact with the surface and the heat-resistant compound allows the tire to generate friction at the moment of braking. This significantly shortens the braking distance as well.The Advan Sport V107 increases the comfort levels. The asymmetric tread design allows the tire to greatly decrease the road and tread pattern noise heard by the passengers. The tread channels airwaves through the footprint, without allowing their contact with the tread elements. As a result, the tire greatly decreases the possibility of road disturbances ruining the passengers' driving enjoyment. This guarantees a quiet driving experience. This specific tire is marked with MO1 as it is the original equipment of Mercedes vehicles. 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.
