Yokohama Advan dB V552 (245/40R19 98Y XL)

“The Peak of Silent Luxury.” Fresh 2026 Production.

While the Advan dB V553 has begun its 2026 rollout in specific sizes, the V552 remains the industry benchmark for high-performance silence in the 245/40R19 category. It is specifically designed for the silent cabins of hybrids and EVs, using a tread pattern that effectively “cancels out” road noise before it reaches the cabin.

✨ Key 2026 Technical Features

• 🔇 144-Block Silent Architecture:

  Wide 19-inch tyres are usually prone to high-frequency “road hum.” The V552 uses an intricate pattern of 144 independent blocks that disperse noise energy. This results in a whisper-quiet cabin, making it perfect for long cruises on the ECP or PIE.

• 🧪 Specialized dB Silica Compound:

  The 2026 batch utilizes a high-flexibility silica compound that allows the tread to “hug” micro-imperfections in the asphalt. This provides Elite Class-A wet braking and a plush, vibration-free ride quality.

• 📐 Twist Edge & Single Edge Cutting:

  The block edges are chamfered to prevent them from “folding” under heavy acceleration or cornering. This increases rigidity, minimizing uneven wear and ensuring the tyre stays quiet throughout its entire lifespan.

• 💪 Reinforced XL Belt Structure:

  Despite its focus on comfort, the 98Y rating ensures this tyre can handle the heavy weight of modern executive sedans and battery-heavy EVs. It offers high-speed stability up to 300 km/h without sacrificing its refined character.

• 🌧️ 4-Zone Drainage Channels:

  To manage Singapore’s sudden afternoon downpours, the V552 features wide longitudinal grooves that act as high-velocity pumps, providing superior hydroplaning resistance and safety.
