Yokohama launches new silent tyre for EVs

Yokohama has launched the Advan dB V552, which it describes as a silent tyre for EVs and PHEVs.

It will be available from spring 2021 in a total of 16 sizes, ranging from 20 inch to 15 inch. The company says it plans to gradually expand the line-up of available tyre sizes.

Its enhanced silence is the result of a meticulous design that included a review of all design elements -including pattern design, profile shape, internal structure, type and size of parts as well as surface contact configuration – from a zero-basis unbiased.

In addition, the tyre’s wet grip performance and fuel efficiency have been enhanced by the application of a compound that raises the dispersibility of silica.

The Advan dB V552 size line-up will be expanded to meet expectations for a more silent ride from drivers of EV and PHEV.
