Lasting & Efficiency
- Yokohama’s NEW ADVAN dB Decibel V553 is the ultimate luxury quiet tyre and ideal EV tyre. Designed for the driver who demands supreme comfort, low noise, and energy efficiency in a high-performance tyre.
Newly designed tread pattern produces quietness and reliable wear / wet performance.
A. Subdivided into 144 blocks - To reduce the sound of each block hitting the road surface, the tire surface is composed of fine blocks to reduce pattern noise. The number of grooves has also been increased to ensure drainage and high performance in wet conditions.
B. Staggered placement of grooves and sipes - Staggered placement, optimization of block rigidity, and frequency dispersion.
C. Four main grooves for improved drainage - The inside and outside grooves of the tire are designed to fulfill different roles. The inside grooves are for wet performance, and the outside grooves are for dry performance, with the four main grooves arranged such that they become thicker toward the inside. This achieves a high level of balance between drainage and handling stability / maneuverability.
D. Narrow straight groove processing - Narrow straight groove arrangement optimizes block rigidity and complements the wet performance of the outside portion by improving maneuverability.
E. Performance optimized by chamfering and sipes - Chamfering and sipes ensure drainage while further optimizing block rigidity and suppressing pattern noise.
F. Further improvements to block rigidity - Shoulder lug grooves are formed by 3D sipes for improved block rigidity. This also contributes to ...

Designed to retain its original form and minimize performance degradation, with components remaining largely unchanged from when the tire is new, even after wear
- Designed to increase the volume of the main grooves, ensuring wet performance when new and minimizing the degradation of wet performance during wear.
- Designed to minimize changes from when the tire was new.
- Narrow straight grooves disappear, limiting the worsening of pattern noise.
- The groove walls are designed to stand erect, reducing the change in groove volume after wear, and reducing the loss of wet performance.
Delivers opposing wet performance and fuel economy at a high level
- Silica does not mix easily with rubber, but is dispersed evenly by a blend of coupling agents and silica dispersants.
- Small grain particulate silica is used to improve wet performance and wear resistance by increasing adhesive friction.
- A.R.T. mixing is applied to enhance silica dispersion. It also offers a high balance of wear resistance, wet performance, and roll resistance.
