Yokohama Advan dB V552 (275/35R19 100Y XL)

“Absolute Silence, Even at the Limit.” The 2026 Benchmark for Refined Performance.

The V552 was specifically developed to handle the silent cabins of modern hybrids and EVs. For the 2026 market, it remains a favorite for drivers who want the wide, aggressive stance of a 275mm tyre without the intrusive “road roar” typically associated with wide performance rubber.

✨ Key 2026 Technical Features

• 🔇 144-Block Silent Architecture:

  Wide 275mm tyres usually generate significant “air pumping” noise. The V552 solves this with a tread pattern subdivided into 144 independent blocks. By staggering these blocks, the tyre disperses sound energy, ensuring your cabin stays whisper-quiet even on coarser expressways like the PIE.

• 🧪 Specialized dB Compound:

  Utilizes a high-flexibility silica compound that allows the wide contact patch to “hug” the micro-imperfections of the road. This results in Class-A wet braking and a plush, vibration-free ride quality that standard performance tyres cannot match.

• 📐 Twist Edge & Single Edge Cutting:

  The block edges are precision-chamfered to increase rigidity. This prevents the large tread blocks from “folding” under the high torque of modern engines, minimizing uneven wear and ensuring the tyre stays quiet throughout its lifespan.

• 💪 Reinforced XL Belt Structure:

  Despite its comfort focus, the 275-width model features a reinforced internal belt. This is critical for heavy-weight premium cars and EVs, providing the high-speed stability and steering precision required for a Y-rated (300 km/h) tyre.

• 🌧️ Wide U-Shaped Drainage Channels:

  To manage the hydroplaning risks of a wide tyre, the V552 uses deep U-shaped grooves. These act as high-velocity water pumps, providing elite safety and stability during Singapore’s heavy tropical downpours.

📊 Performance Summary
