Yokohama W.drive V905 - User reviews

Sort:
Curtiz
4.20
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.

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.

So far excel b. Well. It is, however, too short lifetime to assess their stability.

Tires of medium / high quality. Once you cut them on my friend the car has completely changed the road holding. Increased feeling of safety in the wet / dry. Good feeling with the steering wheel with excellent response during the trajectory setting. Recommended for medium to wet and snow sports car ..

Unfortunately I can not make a judgment on the behavior of the tire on the snow this year because it did not show. irreproachable behavior on dry and wet. I have not noticed specific fuel consumption increases. Noticed only slight vibration steering to 110 km / h: I think not reliant on tires but from balancing that made me the tire which gave them me mounted. Recommended.

I recommend to all, very quiet, as the years of zero roaring, a pleasant surprise after assembly, a hook, despite the high torque and power. the photo on the season of zero wear.

I would buy again despite the shortcoming which is noise at higher speeds. Very good wet nawierzni.

The Yokohama W.drive V905 tyres behave ideally on the rear axle of the cars with rear wheel drive. I do recommend both Fulda and Yokohama tyres. They are good enough in snow. There is no understeer. I would like to say that with a clear conscience I can recommend the Yokohama W.drive V905 tyres. The tyres were purchased at a bargain price. They proved that they are premium class tyres sveral times already. Without doubts I will return to this model or brand.
