Yokohama S Drive rear tire replaced by Yokohama ADVAN FLEVA V701

Hi All,
Having trouble finding an S Drive 205/55/15 size in my area (Montreal, Quebec, Canada) for my 2011 Can AM Spyder RT but did find out that Yokohama is replacing it with the ADVAN FLEVA V701 and they have it in 205/55/15 size. I am just wondering if anyone here has tried this new tire on a Spyder, I would be interested in knowing how it handles before making the purchase. Is it the same as the S Drive?

Any comments would be appreciated !!!!

To me it looks like the S drive tire

I don't know if Kal tire is in Quebec, but I got mine (Yokohama S) from them, and it was shipped to BC from Ontario.

Not sure if that helps you or not.....

Hi, can you tell me if the S drive are directional ?
I want tires that I can rotate fronts without taking tires off wheels.
Thanks.

The S drive is directional but only comes in a size for the rear. For the front we use Yokohama Avid S34FA 175/55-15 and they are non-directional.

Thanks for that info, I will drop into Kal Tire my dealer here.
