No, though one might think that Advan is a more expensive product and will be better in all fronts, is not true.
I had once installed those tyres in our (now sold) 2009 Honda civic. They went from 10/10 to a 2/10 in just 24k kms. It started cracking up, became super hard, increased tyre noise, used to feel every bump and crack. Eventually, switched to Contis which made my life easier.
As for the AE51, I'm using them in my i20 Active and boy! They are a class above. They are 90% Michelin grade at 70% cost. Go for it if you want to. My experience with AE51 is of about 1 year 4 months and 18k kms. Not even a single puncture and have done multiple road trips ever since. Even did a 900 kms single day drive and I was extremely happy with my tyres.
