The Yokohama Advan Fleva V701 215/40 R17 87W XL RPB is designed for high performance sports vehicles, sports saloons, premium compact and sports coupes. The "nanoBlend" rubber compound includes a mix of many polymers. This one is designed to offer optimal balance between grip in the rain, fuel economy and wear resistance. Innovative in terms of safety and comfort, the wide curved "Katana" grooves in the shoulders are reminiscent of the shape of the Japanese sword. Their semi-closed design helps maintain the rigidity of the tyre, improving manoeuvrability and cornering support.
