I’ve been running yokohama advan flevas. Great all around performance, especially in the wet. They are quite sticky
Yokohama tires. I love yokos. They have a great balance between cost, wear, and feel. We usually get a 3PMS variant of some sort. Currently CV4S models on the 19 XC90.
I go through 2-3 sets a season on my C5 z06. I consider it the price to be competitive in CAM.
I've heard they don't last long but they are doing great on my Lotus Elise.
I'm on my 3rd season on mine with about 60 runs and the same 60 second course a season and I just put in my best performance last month.
Yoks are fast asf. Between the yoks and my new years resolution of "don't be a bitch" I picked up something like 2 seconds over last year.
Here's how my tires look after this season. This is \~75-80 runs total on a 60s course on concrete. There's still meat on the bone, but I don't think there's another 80 left. I'll be buying more tires by the middle of next season at the latest.
I just purchased new Yokohama @ $230 each. I didn't notice a difference in sound and still getting the same 3.2 kwh as OEM Dunlops. With 11/32 depth, my Ariya handles better with the Yokohamas.
That 3.5L V6 is buttery smooth and powerful — proper sleeper sedan feel.
Cabin’s still super comfy, feels premium even today.
Reliable engine if maintained right, and new Yokohamas are a good sign someone cared.
You’ll definitely stand out — not many V6s left running around.
It drinks fuel like crazy. Expect 5–6 km/l in city, maybe 9 on highways if you drive easy.
Honda never sold too many V6s, so some parts can be pricey or take time to source.
The timing belt change is expensive (₹50–70k job with labour and water pump).
Regular service at a good garage will be around ₹15–20k; authorised service centers will charge more.
VCM (cylinder deactivation) can act up — oil burning or misfires if not maintained properly.
Suspension and mounts wear faster due to weight; replacements are expensive.
Low resale — not many buyers for a thirsty V6, so you’ll have to love it enough to keep it.
Big car in tight cities — parking and ground clearance can be annoying.
Insurance and taxes higher due to engine size (>3L category).
Heat management — some owners complain about heat soak in slow traffic; check radiator and fan condition.
my only all seasons ever were Yokohama Geolandar G015. They were ok for about two years, but then the compound began to harden and I had to switch. They were decent on snow and water, but sucked on ice.
I’ve gone through 3 Geo’s in less than 20k
Fuck those shoes
