In this article we will be looking at independent tyre test data, and real world driver reviews of the Michelin Pilot Sport 5 and the Yokohama Advan Sport V107 to find out which tyre is best for your own driving.
There are a few basic differences between the two tyres. The Michelin Pilot Sport 5 is an Max-Performance Summer tyre designed to be fitted to Passenger-Cars, and the Yokohama Advan Sport V107 is an Ultra-High-Performance Summer tyre designed to be fitted to Passenger-Cars
Independent comparison tyre tests are the best source of data to get tyre information from, and the good news is there have been six tests which compare both tyres directly!
Out of these six tests:
While it might look like the Michelin Pilot Sport 5 is better than the Yokohama Advan Sport V107 purely based on the higher number of test wins, tyres are very complicated objects which means where one tyre is better than the other can be more important in real world use.
Let's look at how the two tyres compare across multiple tyre test categories.

Looking for more tyre comparisons? Here are other direct comparisons involving these tyres:
This page has been developed using tyre industry testing best practices. This means we are only comparing tests which have had both tyres in the same test.
Why is this important? Tyre testing is heavily affected by things like surface grip levels and surface temperature, which means you can only compare values from the same day. During a tyre test external condition changes are calculated into the overall results, but it is not possible to calculate this between tyre tests performed on different days or at different locations.
As a result you will see other tests on Tyre Reviews which feature both the %s and %s, but as they weren't conducted on the same day, the results are not comparable.
Lots of other websites do this sort of tyre comparison, Tyre Reviews doesn't.
