Yokohama Advan A460 205/55 R16

The Power of Silence

Yokohama ADVAN A460 205/55 R16 is not only a quiet tyre it is also structured with a new compound that brings power and flexibility. With greater toughness and strength for grasping the road surface, it also offers exceptional gas mileage.

Yokohama’s ADVAN A460 205/55 R16 is the tyre of choice. The ADVAN A460 205/55 R16 offers amazing on-road quietness, low rolling resistance and better fuel efficiency, thanks to its lightweight construction and advanced silica rubber compound. And, with an asymmetrical tread design, it also provides superior cornering performance, great mileage and long wear life. The small tread blocks and tight grooves also contribute to the serene on-road refinement. For quietest of comfortable rides, the ADVAN A460 205/55 R16 is the ideal choice.

Variable Combination Sipes

Minimizing the ground contact area of each block and using minute sipes lessens impact noise when the tyre hits the ground. Hence impact noise is reduced when the tyre block touches the ground.

Optimum arrangement of two sipes

Diffuses the peak frequency of the noise created when the tyre rotates and lessens annoying pattern noise.

5-pitch variation

Lessens pattern noise to appreciate a level of noiselessness suitable for luxury cars.

Noise Suppression

Wear control shoulder lessens “heel and toe” wear, one reason of noise, for continued silence. It helps and Suppresses noise from uneven & irregular tread wear. Noise generated by air that is compressed between road contact area and tread grooves is softened. Silent double grooves using channels that do not pass over the air to the outer side of the tyre avoids air from escaping and cuts down on noise.

Stable Handling

Realizes highly stable handling with the help of asymmetrical power ribs and New round profile & structure. ADVAN dB 205/55 R16 Allows outstanding handling when changing tracks and cornering at very high speed. Increases driving control and reduces weight without negotiating comfort.

The sidewall carcass is wound up to a higher degree, providing stability and comfort.

Excellent Braking

Enables excellent braking in wet conditions with Wide straight grooves, Round sipes and Exclusive ADVAN dB 205/55 R16 Nano-Power Rubber. These exclusive features of ADVAN dB 205/55 R16 allows excellent water drainage and anti-hydroplaning performance for excellent handling on wet surfaces even when driving at high speeds. Guarantees outstanding handling in wet weather without compromising high-level silence.

Greater ability to hug undulations in the road surface and large contact area at the micro level while preserving compound strength for improved grip in wet weather.

Standard Rubber

Standard rubber in Yokohama tyres Tiny protrusions on the road surface make gaps with the tyre, and cause reduced grip.

ADVAN dB 205/55 R16 Rubber

Micro silica makes the rubber compound more stretchy, enhancing hold to the road at the micro level.

Nano-Power

Exclusive ADVAN dB 205/55 R16 Nano-Power Rubber Reduces rolling resistance and enhances fuel efficiency

Short & High number of Polymers

With the reduced number of polymer ends where waste heat is created helps in improved rolling resistance. There are many short polymers in Yokohama’s standard rubber. Due to its shortness, each polymer only has an average strength. The higher number of polymer ends generate higher volumes of waste heat.

Long & fewer Polymers

The rubber used in the ADVAN dB 205/55 R16 have fewer long high molecular mass polymers. Due to its length each polymer boasts high strength.
