Yokohama W.drive V905 215/80 R16 103 T

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. Read more Collapse

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. Read more Collapse

The Yokohama W.drive V905 are one of the best tyres I purchased. I bought them in 2015. They provide very nice ride. Driving is very condifent in snow. I think they can be compared with the best winter tyre on the market which is the Michelin Alpin 4. They are pretty quiet and comfortable. The biggest advantage of these tyres is their grip. They stick to the road which is incredibly important. They look good on a car. What is more, their price is quite reasonable. After doing 4000 miles there are no signs of tread wear. I think they should last for several winter seasons. I would like to recommend the Yokohama W.drive V905 tyres as they are worth their price. I will definitely buy them again because they are cheaper than most Michelins and Pirellis. Read more Collapse

These tyres are the best I have had so far. I replaced them in the middle of the season. I had the Nokian WR previously mounted on my vehicle. The difference between these two products exceeded my expectations. Driving on the Yokohama W.drive V905 tyres is really confident. I have a 4x4 car and I drive a lot in snow. Car runs really safe and secure. Going uphill and downhill, even on the ice is a pleasure. I do not know just how long they will behave in the same way. I only know that the previous tyres behaved well, but maybe because they were made in Russia and not in Finland. Read more Collapse

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. Read more Collapse
