Currently only on the rear wheels, so some of the above points are guesstimates based on how the back end feels (with a front wheel drive car).
Compared to the well worn out Michelins that were on it when I picked it up, the back feels more connected and will probably rotate these to the front when I change them for Falken FK-452s.
That way I'll be able to report on the similarity/difference with the Falkens on the rear, and how the Toyo T1-Rs are at the driving end.
Some cite the soft sidewall (relatively speaking) as a detractor for the T1-Rs - I guess we'll see if that's true or not once they go on the front.
I highly recommend them, and if it weren't for the FK-452s, I'd simply have stuck a set of T1-Rs on the front and been done with it - but it's worth experiencing and experimenting to help myself and others sort the wheat from the chaff.

The Yokohama Advan V103 is more superior to my old Michelin Pilot Sport 2! period! It grips equally well in the dry and almost as good in heavy rain. (I skidded twice before on my Michelin PS 2. Fortunately the DSC and ESP saved the day) It corners just as well as the Michelin PS 2. The bonus part is the Yokohama v103 run much quieter than the Michelin PS 2!!! Ride is more softer too making this tyre an excellent everyday tyre to use and the occasional spirited weekends when necessary. This is one fabulous safe tyre at any cost for the whole family.

One of the best tyres that I have ever had. Grip & feedback is excellent.
The first set on my car lasted 19000 miles which is OK for wear I suppose.
I believe these tyres are supposed to be made to be quiet-that's what the dB is for. I didn't actually think that they were that quiet. I had goodyears on for a very short time & they were quieter. However, this doesn't bother me-I just want them to grip & this is what they do.
They're not the cheapest or easiest to get hold of, but I'll be sticking with them in future.

This tire was on sale. I should have gotten the Michelin PS-2 instead. Dammn! I noticed a reader here claiming his tire to have no noise. Have you checked your hearing lately or did your engine drown out the tire noise?

I fitted these tyres to my accord after the oem yokohamas wore out. I read up & found these had good reviews & were reasonably priced. To sum it up these were awful. On researching further, it seems there are various batches. The german ones seem to be the good ones that are reviewed & score highly. Chinese ones are of a different poorer construction being sold as the same thing. Ones made in Thailand are illegal & dangerous but still sold in various places!

I would have expected better from Goodyear.
Anyway I took my tyres back-luckily the tyre dealer accepted the grip was crap. I put more Yokohamas on (& had to pay the extra £150 never mind) & grip & handling was back to being good again!
