Yokohama ADVAN dB V552 245/45 R18: The Ultimate in Silent Performance and Precision

The Yokohama ADVAN dB V552 245/45 R18 is a true game-changer in the tyre industry, specifically engineered to offer unmatched silence, superior safety, and remarkable fuel efficiency. This tyre not only delivers an ultra-quiet ride but also features a sophisticated design that enhances performance in every driving condition, making it the tyre of choice for modern vehicles, particularly hybrids and electric cars. Below is a breakdown of its key features and innovations.

The Power of Silence

• Incredible Silence: The ADVAN dB V552 245/45 R18 introduces groundbreaking technology to reduce road noise, offering a ride that is quieter than ever before. Thanks to advanced tread patterns and high-quality compounds, this tyre creates a breathtaking silence, delivering a driving experience that’s beyond comfort.

Innovative Technologies for a Quieter, Smoother Ride

1. Twist Edge Chamfering:

   • This unique feature controls the rigidity of the tyre blocks by chamfering the edges into a twisted shape. This design ensures uniform wear, which suppresses uneven wear on both the driver’s side and passenger’s side, enhancing the tyre’s longevity and maintaining quiet performance.

2. Precise Groove Arrangement:

   • The grooves in the ADVAN dB V552 245/45 R18 may look like a continuous pattern, but they are actually shifted slightly by a few millimeters. This shifting distributes the timing of the tyre’s contact with the ground, effectively dispersing generated noise. The result? Less concentration on any specific frequency band, leading to a quieter and more comfortable ride with reduced harsh noise.

3. Single Edge Chamfering:

   • By applying precise chamfering to specific areas, this feature helps control the occurrence of uneven wear and minimizes deterioration of the tyre’s quietness over time. This ensures the tyre maintains its quiet performance throughout its lifespan.

4. Staggered Groove and Sipe Arrangement:

   • The ADVAN dB V552 245/45 R18 incorporates a staggered arrangement of non-penetrating grooves and sipes. This optimizes the block rigidity and enhances both steering stability and noise reduction, providing a balanced and quiet driving experience.

Redesigned Silent Tyre Structure

• Silent Base Compound:

  • A unique feature that optimizes the compound gauge for each size, the silent base compound helps suppress vibration, further enhancing the quietness of the ride.

• Silent Belt Structure (Wide-Belt & Belt Edge Cover++):

  • This tyre adopts a wider belt than typical tyres, while the added belt-edge cover enhances rigidity at the end of the belt. This design reduces vibration, particularly in the shoulder areas, contributing to a smoother, quieter ride.

• New dB Compound:

  • The newly designed dB compound strikes the perfect balance between wet performance and fuel efficiency, making the ADVAN dB V552 245/45 R18 a high-performance tyre that is also eco-friendly.

• Fuel-Efficient Side Compound:

  • The special sidewall compound enhances fuel efficiency without sacrificing performance, aligning with the needs of environmentally-conscious drivers, particularly those in hybrid and electric vehicles.

• Side-Reinforcement Belt:

  • This feature provides firm handling and improved ride comfort, particularly in heavy-weight premium cars, ensuring stability even at high speeds.
