About This Tire

The Yokohama ADVAN Apex V601 245/40R18 is a max performance summer tire designed for sports car, performance sedan, and sporty coupe drivers who prioritize maximum grip and precision handling in warm weather conditions. Its asymmetric tread design and high-grade micro silica compound focus on delivering exceptional dry traction while maintaining solid wet weather capability through optimized groove angles and water evacuation channels. The tire features a wide outboard rib with minimal void space for lateral grip, a solid center rib for high-speed stability, and rounded rib profiles that promote even contact pressure to reduce irregular wear.

The asymmetric pattern incorporates groove angles specifically designed to minimize road noise while the micro silica compound enhances traction in both dry and wet conditions. Driver feedback indicates strong dry performance with reliable wet weather handling, plus comfortable ride quality that makes it suitable for daily driving despite its performance focus. Compared to all-season tires, it prioritizes maximum warm-weather performance over year-round versatility and cannot be used in freezing temperatures, snow, or ice.

Overall, it's a solid choice for performance vehicles used primarily for spirited driving and daily commuting in warm climates.
