Yokohama Advan Sport V105S RFT (275/35R19 100Y)

“The Ultimate Balance of Sport and Safety.” Fresh 2026 Production.

The V105S was developed at the demanding Nürburgring circuit to provide razor-sharp steering and elite grip. The RFT (Run-Flat Technology) version features Yokohama’s ZPS (Zero Pressure System), which has been refined in this 2026 batch to provide a more supple ride than traditional, overly stiff run-flats of the past.

✨ Key 2026 Technical Features

• 🛡️ Zero Pressure System (ZPS):

  Engineered with a specialized low-heat-generating sidewall reinforcement. In the event of a puncture, it supports the vehicle’s weight, allowing you to continue driving for up to 80 km at 80 km/h. This is essential for safely navigating Singapore’s expressways like the PIE or MCE without stopping.

• 🏎️ Matrix Body Ply Structure:

  A technology derived from racing, the carcass is wrapped at an angle to enhance steering stability. This provides razor-sharp precision when cornering at high speeds, specifically tuned for heavy luxury sedans.

• 🧪 Microsilica + Silica Dispersed Compound:

  The 2026-spec compound uses a unique chemical bond between the polymer and silica. This ensures the 275mm-wide contact patch stays flexible for Class-A wet braking while remaining rigid enough to deliver massive dry-weather traction.

• 🌧️ Variable Width Grooves:

  Unlike standard tyres, the V105S features asymmetric grooves that optimize water evacuation. The wider grooves on the inside prevent hydroplaning during heavy tropical storms, while the solid outer shoulder maintains extreme stability in the dry.

• 🔇 Silent Sipe & Pitch Variation:

  To counteract the noise inherent in wide run-flat tyres, Yokohama uses “Silent Sipes”—thin slits that suppress air resonance. Combined with a 5-pitch variation, it results in a noticeably quieter cabin than competitor UHP run-flats.

📊 Performance Summary

• Dry Grip & Handling: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (Elite Nürburgring-tuned precision)

• Safety (Run-Flat): ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (Maximum security against blowouts)

• Wet Traction: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (Elite Class-A stopping power)

• Road Noise: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (Refined for a wide-profile RFT)

The Yokohama Advan Sport V105S RFT is the definitive “no-compromise” safety choice for 2026. It is the best option for your BMW or Mercedes-Benz if you want the security of a run-flat with the high-performance DNA of a Japanese-made sports tyre.
