Yokohama Advan Sport V105S RFT (245/45R18 96Y)

Motorsport-Derived Performance with “Zero Pressure” Safety.

The V105S is the “sport-tuned” evolution of the standard V105. It features a highly rigid carcass designed to handle the high torque and heavy curb weight of modern executive sedans while ensuring you can continue driving even after a total loss of air pressure.

✨ Key Technical Features

• 🏎️ Matrix Body Ply Structure:

  Yokohama uses a unique “angled” carcass structure (Matrix Rayon) that enhances steering precision. Unlike standard tyres that can feel “mushy” during sudden lane changes, the V105S provides an immediate, razor-sharp response.

• 🛡️ ZPS (Zero Pressure System):

  As a Run-Flat tyre (RFT), it features reinforced, low-heat-generating sidewalls. In the event of a puncture, you can safely drive for up to 80 km at a maximum speed of 80 km/h, eliminating the need for an immediate roadside tyre change.

• 🍊 Orange Oil Compound:

  Yokohama blends natural orange oil into the rubber to keep the compound flexible at a micro-level. This improves the “bite” on the road surface, leading to superior dry grip and significantly shorter braking distances in the wet.

• 🏁 Asymmetric Sport Tread:

  The tread is split into a “Power Zone” (outer shoulder) for high-speed cornering stability and a “Wet Zone” (inner ribs) with three wide grooves to prevent aquaplaning.

• 🔇 Mound Profile & Silent Sipes:

  Run-flat tyres are traditionally known for being loud and stiff. Yokohama addressed this with “Mound Profile” ribs that distribute pressure evenly and “Silent Sipes” that break up air resonance, making this one of the more comfortable run-flats in the UHP category.

📊 Performance Summary

• Dry Handling: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (Exceptional steering feel)

• Wet Traction: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (Class-leading Class B/A braking)

• Comfort: ⭐⭐⭐ (Firm ride due to RFT sidewalls, but very quiet)

• Tread Life: ⭐⭐⭐ (240 UTQG means it prioritizes grip over longevity)

The Yokohama V105S RFT is the ideal choice if you drive a luxury performance car and want the peace of mind of run-flat safety without sacrificing the “driver’s feel” of a high-end sports tyre.
