The "ADVAN Sport V107" inherits the product concept of "ADVAN Sport V105", which not only inherits the V105's pursuit of a "high balance of sportiness, comfort and safety", but also further achieves dry wetland performance and handling stability that surpasses the previous generation. The asymmetrical tread pattern used in V107 meets the different performance needs of the inside and outside of the tire, and the new rubber polymer formula incorporates the technical achievements developed in cooperation with luxury car brand manufacturers to develop matching tires, so that the tires can play a stronger and more powerful grip on dry and wet roads. In addition, the V107 not only retains the advanced technology of "matrix carcass structure" used by the "ADVAN Sport V105", but also greatly improves the handling stability and comfort of high-power luxury cars when driving at high speeds by optimizing tire rigidity and improving the ground to a "mound tread structure". The V107's sidewalls feature a stylish, dark new design that achieves a logo visual premium that matches the style of the world's flagship tires. In addition, the V107 will be engraved with the "SUV" logo on the tire specifications suitable for SUV models, and in order to convey the charm of this product, the Group plans to hold an online event for the whole world in February 2022.
