Our take

The Yokohama ADVAN A11A is a decent choice for budget-conscious drivers who prioritize dry grip and handling over wet performance and warranty coverage. With a dry grip score of 8 and handling also at 8, it offers a reliable performance for spirited driving, though it falls short of the category average of 8.7 for dry grip.

In terms of wet grip, the ADVAN A11A lags behind with a score of 7 compared to the category average of 7.6, making it less ideal for rainy conditions. The absence of a treadwear warranty further detracts from its long-term value, especially when competitors like the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S offer more comprehensive coverage. The comfort and noise scores align with the category averages, providing a balanced ride without excessive harshness or noise.

For those considering alternatives, the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S and Pirelli P Zero (PZ4) offer better wet grip and warranty options, making them more suitable for those who drive in varied conditions and seek long-term value. The ADVAN A11A is best avoided by high-speed enthusiasts due to its 'R' speed rating, which is lower than typical for this segment.

Pros

  • Dry grip score of 8 is solid, though it trails the category average of 8.7, offering reliable performance in dry conditions.
  • Handling score of 8 aligns with the dry grip, making it suitable for spirited driving and responsive maneuvers.
  • Comfort and noise scores match the category averages, suggesting a balanced ride without excessive harshness or noise.

Cons

  • The lack of a treadwear warranty and lower wet grip performance make it less appealing for those needing reliable all-weather performance and long-term value.
  • Wet grip score of 7 is below the category average of 7.6, which could be a concern in rainy conditions.
  • No treadwear warranty is offered, unlike competitors like the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S, which could affect long-term value.
  • Speed rating of 'R' is unusual for this category, potentially limiting its appeal for high-speed enthusiasts.
