Yokohama Advan dB v551A

The summer tire Yokohama Advan dB v551A comes as the primary equipment for the Toyota Prius. Thanks to the popular size among automakers, it fits many other popular passenger cars. Being designed for a model with a hybrid powertrain, it features low rolling resistance, achieved in parallel with the improvement of other operational and driving qualities.

For its size, the tire weighs very little. This is due to the use of a frame made of synthetic materials and advanced cord winding technologies. As a result, the design, in addition to its low weight, features high rigidity. Along with the optimization of the compound, this reduces rolling resistance and gives the traction properties excellent stability. Another feature of this model is acoustic comfort. Its high level is achieved due to the design and arrangement of blocks and lamellas that reduce noise from their contact with the road surface. Additionally, acoustic comfort is ensured by the small radius of the tread profile in the shoulder areas and the serrated profile of the drainage grooves.

Key features:

- adapted for use in passenger cars with hybrid powertrains;
- lightweight and rigid frame reduces rolling resistance, improves handling accuracy;
- serrated profile of the lateral walls of the longitudinal drainage grooves further reduces noise;
- blade-like grooves in the central part significantly reduce the risk of aquaplaning.
