The release of Advan V61 does not seem to disrupt the tire market as it is supposed to be. Possibly because of the limited sizes available. Secondly, the wet grip for some sizes have a shocking of C grade. That is unbelievable coming from the top brand Yokohama.

Still, the made in Japan model pricing is not as expensive as I think it is. For some sizes with a good grade of EU tire label, it can still be considered an option for your vehicle.
