ADVAN dB

The POWER of SILENCE

  • Handling Silence Comfort Dry Wet Asymmetric
  • SPEED RANGE Y/W/V/H
  • - Ultimate silent and comfortable ride
  • - Outstanding handling performance
Silence, stable maneuverability and extra-smooth driving
comfort for a high degree of balance
New profile and structure for more stable,quiet driving

  • Softens impact noise generated when the tire block touches the ground.
  • Suppressesnoise fromuneven treadwear.
  • Noise generated by air that is compressed between ground contactarea and tire grooves is softened.

Variable combination sipes
As the number of blocks touching the ground increases, noise as the tyre rotates decreases.

Exclusive structure of ADVAN dB
The sidewall carcass is wound up higher than normal, providing stability and comfort.
*Differs depending on size.

Five-pitch variation
Reduces pattern noise to realize a level of noiselessness befitting luxury cars.

Lower rolling resistance
Reducing the number of polymer ends where waste heat is generated cuts down rolling resistance.

There are numerous short polymers in YOKOHAMA’s standard rubber. Being short,each polymer only has average strength.Many polymer ends generate waste heat.

The rubber used in the ADVAN dB features few long high molecular weight polymers.Being long, each polymer boasts high strength. Few polymer ends generate waste heat.

Greater wet performance
Enhanced ability to hug undulations in the road surface and larger contact area at the micro level while maintaining compound strength for better grip in wet weather.

Standard rubber in YOKOHAMA tires

Tiny protrusions on the road surface create gaps with the tire, reducing grip performance.

ADVAN dB

Microsilica makes the rubber compound more flexible, enhancing adhesion to the road at the micro level.
