Today's comparison will delve into two remarkable summer tyres; the Yokohama Advan Sport V107 and the Michelin Pilot Sport 5. Manufactured respectively by Yokohama and Michelin, these tyres are associated with high standards.
The Yokohama Advan Sport V107 is celebrated for its impressive dry handling, which was notably commended by Tyre Reviews as one of its best features. According to our rating, it scored a 42%, putting it at a respectable position. From Autobild’s verdict, the V107 also performed well in dry braking.

It's applauded for its consistent performance, good steering, and low eco impact. As per Autobild, the tyre did well in various tests, coming in 6th out of 50 tyres. The areas of improvement pertain to grip in wet conditions, and its price, which leans towards the expensive side.
