Yokohama Advan Apex V601 Reviews

Ok. I was very hesitant about purchasing a Yokohama tire over something from Michelin or Continental. I had been going back and forth on the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S summer tire or just getting the solid Continental DWS model that provides great handling and a great tread life. I spoke to a buddy with a RS3 who told me he moved to Yokohama 3 years ago and never looked back. I knew the brand was Japanese and I had seen their tires before but anything not named Michelin, Conti, or Bridgestone has always seemed to be a no no in the performance category for sport cars if you want maximum grip, safety, and overall performance. That is NO longer the case. I slapped a set of the Advan Apex V601's on my S3 and wow! I did not think anything was going to compete with the Michelin's I had before. Granted those had more wear and were no longer the golden tire they were when I first had them, but Yokohama has made me a believer. Went for a drive through Asheville and surrounding areas along the Blueridge pkwy and WOW! For a summer street tire, I heard some people run these as track tires and I can see why. I felt confident in every turn during the drive and these tires hooked better than my Michelin's in their peak tread life! That probably sounds impossible, but try a set and see for yourself. When they get warmed up, these tires are amazing. I will definitely buy another set but hoping to get 2-3 years out of them since I have an all season set for late fall/winter months we get here in NC!

I bought these tires for endurance racing. Compared to the Falken Azenis that we also use, they fall short. The Falkens seem to have way more grip. At this point I don't think I will buy another set of these tires.

So far tires have been great, low noise, comfortable ride, and great performance.

Pretty good tire i have them on my hellcat and they hook real good on my hellcat when it was stock now that I am over 1000hp the are still good gripey tire the price is more than fare for them and they last longer than the r888 nittos for same performance

Purchased these for the rear of my hellcat being curious on how they may be. Overall very pleased with the tire so far. Will purchase these again

Good lateral grip but bad rotation grip.
