The ADVAN Sport V105G is a compelling choice for those who prioritize wet grip in an ultra-high-performance summer tire. With a wet grip score of 9, it comfortably surpasses the category average of 7.6, making it a standout in rainy conditions. The dry grip and handling scores of 8 ensure that it remains competitive, though not leading, in dry performance.
In terms of comfort and noise, the tire aligns with the category averages, providing a balanced ride that doesn't sacrifice too much in terms of harshness or road noise. However, the absence of a treadwear warranty means that buyers will need to monitor tread depth closely to gauge when replacements are necessary. The UTQG treadwear rating of 240 is typical for the segment, indicating a shorter lifespan compared to more durable touring options.
When compared to competitors like the Pirelli P Zero (PZ4) and Michelin Pilot Sport 4S, the ADVAN Sport V105G offers superior wet grip but may fall slightly behind in dry grip performance. This makes it a great option for those who frequently drive in wet conditions but may not be the best choice for those seeking the ultimate dry performance. If predictable maintenance costs are a priority, consider alternatives with a treadwear warranty.
