сравнение: Yokohama Advan Sport V107 срещу. Bridgestone Turanza 6 (2026)

On dry tarmac the Advan Sport V107 is the clear winner, and by a margin that translates directly into real-world safety. In the one direct measured braking test shared by both tyres — the Autobild 2023 evaluation in 225/45 R18, run across a 50-tyre field — the V107 stopped from 100 km/h in 58.9 metres against the Turanza 6's 63.8 metres. That 4.9-metre gap is roughly one and a half car lengths; at motorway speeds it separates a near-miss from an impact. The picture is consistent across the wider test record: the V107 carries a dry-braking score of 85.7 averaged across all measured tests, against 74.9 for the Turanza 6 — a ten-point gap that is among the most significant single-metric differences between them. The Turanza 6 was specifically flagged for below-average dry braking in both ADAC and AvD 2026 evaluations, confirming that this is a structural weakness rather than an outlier result.

The reasons run deeper than compound friction. The V107's Rayon Matrix Body Ply stiffens the carcass to transfer power to the road more efficiently, while the Contour Profile — built from Rayon and Polyamide cap plies — distributes pressure evenly across the contact patch for consistent cornering load. The result is a tyre with genuinely alive steering: testers repeatedly noted quick, precise turn-in and strong lateral feedback at the limit, describing a handling character that is rare among road-going summer tyres. In a six-tyre Tyre Reviews group test, it was the only tyre to complete the hot, aggressive dry handling circuit without showing notable tread wear — a testament to thermal resilience under sustained cornering load. An owner running more than 600 horsepower through the rear wheels described the V107 as behaving like a semi-slick once up to temperature, with snap-of-the-neck traction in second gear. That kind of feedback is exactly what Yokohama's OE fitment for the AMG CLE 53 demands.

The Turanza 6 is not incompetent on dry roads — its dry-handling score of 81.8 and dry-lane-change score of 82.3 point to a composed, balanced character — but it consistently falls short of the class leaders for outright stopping and steering immediacy. A tendency toward mild understeer under load is a recurring observation, and ENLITEN's lightweight construction, while brilliantly effective for efficiency, does not produce the high-friction compound chemistry needed to match the V107 on a hot, dry circuit. For enthusiastic drivers, the dry-road gap between these two tyres is the most decisive factor in this comparison.

The wet picture is genuinely more complicated and rewards careful reading of the data. In the single mutual wet braking test, the V107 again recorded the shorter stop: 25.4 metres against the Turanza 6's 27.6 metres. Taken at face value, that suggests Yokohama superiority in both conditions. But the wider test evidence tells a different story. The V107's wet-braking score averaged across all measured tests is 70.3 — compared to 76.8 for the Turanza 6 — a 6.5-point gap indicating that the Yokohama's wet performance is inconsistent and heavily sensitive to tyre temperature. Testers specifically noted that the V107 struggled with stopping across all wet test conditions and required extended warm-up time before reaching optimal operating temperature. In cooler or unexpected wet scenarios — a sudden summer downpour on a motorway, or a rain-soaked morning commute on cold tyres — the V107's wet stopping distances can stretch well beyond what the single Autobild test suggests.

The Turanza 6's aquaplaning resistance score of 74.6 falls marginally below the V107's 78.0, and its EU wet grip labelling is less impressive: 77% of variants at A-grade, with 23% rated B, compared to 97% A-rating across V107 variants. Yet despite those headline numbers, the Turanza 6 returns a more consistent and predictable wet performance in real-world conditions. An owner covering 3,000 kilometres through a European summer vacation — including a motorway heavy-rain event and a surprise patch of standing water — reported no aquaplaning incidents and full confidence throughout. Another owner on a Toyota RAV4 specifically highlighted that the tyres didn't aquaplane in conditions that would have unsettled less capable rubber. That kind of real-world composure is the Turanza 6's quiet trump card in wet conditions, even as its peak wet braking figure in any single test doesn't dazzle.

Neither tyre is a wet-weather standout. The V107's wet-handling score of 75.0 and wet-circle-cornering score of 72.0 point to a tyre that can feel unsettled under sustained dynamic loads in the rain, and in a 2026 group test its wet handling lap times lagged well behind the class leaders. The Turanza 6's wet handling pace was also criticised — recording 72.65 seconds against a class best of 67.70 in Tyre Reviews 2026 — and the mild understeer tendency noted on dry roads becomes more pronounced on wet surfaces. For most drivers, however, the relevant metric is a predictable, repeatable stopping distance rather than dynamic cornering pace, and on that basis the Turanza 6's overall wet-braking score gives it a modest structural advantage once the V107's warm-up sensitivity is accounted for as a genuine risk factor.

Running costs and long-term value are where the gap between these two tyres becomes overwhelming, and where the Turanza 6 makes its most compelling case. The V107's rolling resistance score of 44.7 out of 100 is a remarkable figure — reflecting a compound that prioritises maximum dry friction above every other consideration, including fuel economy. A striking 78% of V107 EU label variants are rated D for fuel efficiency, with only 3% reaching A. The Turanza 6, built expressly around ENLITEN lightweight construction, scores 91.9 on rolling resistance — the outright best across multiple group tests, including leading the Motor 2026 field with a measured figure of 5.95 kg/t — and 67% of its variants carry a B fuel label, with a further 31% at A. The practical consequence over 30,000 kilometres of mixed driving is measurable in hundreds of euros in additional fuel expenditure on the V107 compared to the Turanza 6. Bridgestone's AvD 2026 Greenovation award and the Motor 2026 rolling resistance top spot are not marketing achievements — they reflect a genuinely different engineering philosophy that penalises the V107 every time you fill the tank.

Tread longevity amplifies the ownership cost gap further. The V107's mileage score of 48.5 compared to the Turanza 6's 81.8 indicates a compound that wears significantly faster under normal driving. ADAC flagged higher abrasion as a recurring weakness of the V107, and user reports include a Mazda MX-5 owner whose tyres showed sidewall cracking alongside a 40% tread loss at just 12,500 miles — a lifespan that would represent a costly replacement cycle on any commuter car. The AvD 2026 test named the Turanza 6 as delivering the best tread life of any premium summer tyre in its group — a title its predecessor, the Turanza T005, could not claim. For a driver covering 20,000 kilometres annually, the Turanza 6 could outlast a set of V107s by a full replacement interval, fundamentally changing the cost-per-kilometre equation despite a higher purchase price.

On ride comfort and cabin noise the evidence supports the Turanza 6 more clearly than the composite scores might suggest. In detailed test measurements, the Turanza 6 returns a comfort score of 81.0 against the V107's 70.3, and AvD 2026 awarded it the best comfort result in its group alongside a Greenovation recognition. Die Reifentester 2026 identified it as the quietest summer tyre for interior noise in its evaluation — a result that aligns with owner feedback consistently praising the Turanza 6's serene motorway manners. The V107, despite featuring Silent Sipe Technology along its inner ribs, was characterised by testers as significantly rougher over potholes and was noted by at least one owner as noisier than competing tyres at highway speeds — a consequence of the stiff compound chemistry that delivers dry grip. For daily use in a family saloon or crossover, the Turanza 6's comfort advantage over an extended ownership period is substantial.
