V701

<p>Very nice driving tires, could handle what I threw at em but have worn down pretty quick after doing 3 trips to Yorkshire and hard turning... For my normal driving style they r perfect tho.</p>

<p>Long lasting tires, and it's my second set</p>

It's going ok...
I relied on 67db and was disappointed.
Poor handling.
It depends on the road surface; sometimes they are very quiet, sometimes very loud to drive on.
I will never buy it again.

Fitted on Passat cc tsi 211 manual, sport chassis, dcc suspension: Purchased with Michelin crossclimate, quickly replaced because knobby tires produced very significant rolling noise, even though they were 70% worn.
I fitted the Yokohama Advan Fleva V701 tires because they were very well rated in terms of external noise (67).
They have 75,000 km on them today! They are not quite at the end of their life, which I estimate at 85,000 km!
I'm changing them because I haven't swapped them back and forth a sufficient number of times.
The rear tires have developed notches on the inside; this is a common defect in CCs, due to the rear axle alignment (original) and the very particular braking distribution system (contact on all 4 wheels).
So I'll put the same ones back on, but I'll swap them at each oil change, which is every 10,000 km.
Usage: 50% motorway, 40% departmental road, 10% city.
Normal to spirited driving on small roads...
The most impressive thing is that they maintained their grip throughout their entire life, even on wet roads.
They never surprised me, the drift came very gradually.
\r\nNow aquaplaning on the front at over 110 km/h with very heavy rain, I am at the maximum wear indicators on the front, the rear axle does not move because it is a little less worn.

Excellent tyres for everyday driving and spirited runs as well. Great grip, good in the wet. Initially was noisy, turns out the pressure was too high after install, setting it to recommended pressure 2.3 bars solved the problem.
