Translation

On snow and slush correct and give advice. Very well hold the auto road after entering the pools at higher speeds. The only drawback is the loss of adhesion of the paint, belts, etc.

Have not had any real snow this winter but these tyres performed well on what slush we had. No comment on tyre appearance as for me a tyre is a tyre. Given the flood conditions experienced this year I am so glad to have had them on. Have not had tyres on long enough to assess feathering etc. and for me rolling resistance is worth putting up with in winter. Good tyre in my opinion.

This is the second set of Yokohama tyres in the family. My wife uses 903 model in her car and she is very happy. I have the Yokohama W.drive V905 in a larger vehicle. The tyre cannot be beaten. I had some Nokians WR2 previously mounted on my car but they were not as good as Yokohama. Only Yokohama gives me confidence on the road. These tyres provide great traction in all conditions, no matter what happens on the road. After driving one winter season (I admit that the winter was rather mild) I can say that the tyres have never let me down. The tyres are good in dry and wet conditions. They are excellent in snow. These winter tyres are rather not designed for driving aggressively. Maybe they have a little bit too soft rubber compound but I am not surprised as they must be more soft than summer tyres as they were designed especially for winter conditions.

Hello everybody. I would like to share my opinion about the Yokohama W.drive V905 tyres. They are the best tyres I have ever had mounted on my vehicle. Their grip is simply excellent both in dry and wet weather conditions. Now I like to drive in snow and slush. The braking distance is very short. These tyres provide me with sheer driving sensations. I think that I will purchase these tyres again in the nearest future. I definitely recommend these tyres to all drivers who want to drive safely in winter.

I have been driving on these Yokohama W.drive V905 tyres for some time and I can say they are very good. They are doing their job in winter weather conditions. Their rolling resistance is low. The tyres provide good grip and safety on the road. Braking distance is quite short. I am just wondering how would they behave in summer weather. Perhaps I will not purchase a new set of summer tyres and I will keep these Yokohamas as they are very comfortable. I do recommend them. They represent the pure Japanese quality.

Tire without protective bead onto the rim, in the wet and dry sensational, large snow zaklejał it a little and was able to slip. The fully predictable to drive.

Tires quiet, well to excel in all conditions. I drove them approximately 1650 km route at a time and no problems any

I decided to purchase the Yokohama W.drive V905 and I do not regret my decision. I will write about my first impressions connected with these tyres. The size I bought is 195/65R15. The tyres prevent from aquaplaning phenomenon. Their grip in wet conditions is surprisingly good as for Yokohama tyres. I think they cannot be compared to my summer Pirelli PZero but they are still very good. According to the review by ADAC magazine the Yokohama W.drive V905 is the best winter tyre for wet roads. I do agree with this opinion. Despite the fact that in the most demanding weather conditions like deep snow, slush and ice the ABS and ESP systems of my vehicle had to activate from time to time, the tyres have never contributed to a dangerous situation on the road. I feel safe having them mounted on the wheels. Moving off in snow causes no problems. Braking distance is pretty short even in wet conditions. The weak point is cornering in snow but it may be associated with the fact that my vehicle is FWD, not AWD. The tyres are not too noisy. The rubber compound is rather hard. However, they are still comfortable. I have done approximately 6000 miles on these tyres and I have not noticed any serious signs of wear. Good value for money. I do recommend these tyres to everybody.

I chose the Yokohama W.drive V905 tyres following the opinion of several different organizations that rated them as the best in the market with regard to adhesion to snow and rain as well as longevity. I am really satisfied with these tyres. They provide comfort. They are not too loud. Now driving my car is a real pleasure. I do cannot hear them although I have a Toyota Prius which is a very quiet car. What is more, the tyres are very effective in snow and rain. They are also quite durable. They provide the maximum grip while driving in snow. I do recommend these tyres.
