How We Reviewed The ADVAN Sport V107 Tyres

Unlike the Australian government, the European Union carries out standardised tests on all tyres sold in Europe. These tests are carried out in identical conditions, making them a reliable way to compare tyres.

For this review, we use averaged results from tests done on 1 sizes of the ADVAN Sport V107 tyres by the European Union.

We then compare these to the same results for the following similar tyres, also rated for Max Performance Summer usage and sold in Australia.

Fuel Efficiency

	EU Grade	Compared to an A grade tyre?
Fuel Efficiency (A - E)	A	No difference

The US Department of Energy estimates that around 25% of the fuel consumption of a vehicle is attributable to the tyres. That's a lot, and it means that choosing fuel efficient tyres can save you quite a bit of money.

The ADVAN Sport V107 tyres rank a A on a scale of A to E in the official fuel efficiency tests carried out by the EU (they call these rolling resistance tests).

This is the highest possible rating, and indicates excellent fuel efficiency relative to other tyres.

Comparison

Here's how the ADVAN Sport V107 compares to similar tyres for fuel efficiency (1 = Grade E, 5 = Grade A).

Based on the comparison tyres we've selected, the ADVAN Sport V107 ranked # out of 0 tyres.

Grip & Handling

	EU Grade	Compared to an A grade tyre?
Wet Grip (A - E)	A	No difference

We'll now take a look at how these tyres compare in terms of grip and handling.

A good measure of this is 'wet grip', which is an indication of how well the tyres will allow the vehicle to come to a stop in wet conditions.

The ADVAN Sport V107 tyres rank a A on a scale of A to E in the official fuel tests carried out by the EU.

This is the highest possible rating, and indicates excellent grip and handling in wet conditions relative to other tyres.

Comparison

Here's how the ADVAN Sport V107 compares to similar tyres for wet grip (1 = Grade E, 5 = Grade A).

For wet grip, they scored # out of 0 comparison tyres.

Noise

	EU Grade	Compared to an A grade tyre?
Noise (A - C)	B (72 dB)	2 times as noisy

Another key factor to consider when choosing a tyre is road noise. Once you're over about 40 km/h, the dominant source of noise you hear is from the contact of your tyres on the road.

There is a surprisingly wide variation in the amount of noise each tyre makes.

The ADVAN Sport V107 tyres produce 72.0 dB of road noise, which corresponds to a rank of B on a scale of A to C in the standardised testing done by the EU.

Expect these tyres to produce about 2 times as much noise as an A grade tyre (the decibel scale is logarithmic).

Comparison

Here's how the ADVAN Sport V107 compares to similar tyres for noise (1 = Grade C, 3 = Grade A).

For noise, they ranked # out of 0 comparison tyres.

Treadwear

With a UTQG treadwear rating of 240, the ADVAN Sport V107 would theoretically last 2.4 times longer than a tyre with a treadwear rating of 100.

Traction

The UTQG system measures traction as straight-line braking in dry conditions. The scale is AA, A, B, C, with AA being the best grade, and C the worst.

These tyres score a grade of AA.

Temperature Resistance

The UTQG temperature resistance tests measure how well tyres can dissipate heat that builds up due to friction with the road. The scale is A, B, C, with A being the highest grade.

These tyres score a grade of A.
