The Yokohama ADVAN dB V551 215/55 R16 is a premium comfort tyre developed for midsize and larger family sedans approved for this size. It is built to carry the ADVAN dB range's quiet, refined character into cars that need a bit more road presence.
The compound relies on long, high molecular weight polymers to cut down on the waste heat generated by polymer ends, which lowers rolling resistance while keeping the tread's grip and rigidity intact.
Balanced Handling with Refined Quiet
The 215 mm tread width gives a wider, more planted footprint than smaller compact sizes, suiting larger family sedans. The 55 profile sidewall is wound higher than standard, balancing composed handling with a cushioned everyday ride.
This size fits sedan owners who want confident cornering stability alongside a quiet, comfortable cabin for daily commuting, family use and highway touring.
The 215/55 R16 size should only be fitted to vehicles approved for this specification, where the tyre's load index, speed rating, rim width and clearance requirements are satisfied.
ADVAN dB V551 Technology
Comfort focused asymmetric tread. The tread layout balances quiet, refined comfort with stable cornering and long, even wear.
Long polymer silica compound. Fewer, longer high molecular weight polymers reduce the number of polymer ends, cutting rolling resistance while preserving compound strength.
Lightweight construction. Reduced weight combined with the low rolling resistance compound supports fuel efficiency without compromising grip.
Small block, tight groove pattern. More tread blocks stay in contact with the road at any moment, reducing pattern noise as the tyre rotates.
Air noise suppression. The tread design softens the noise generated as air compresses between the contact area and the grooves.
Reinforced sidewall carcass. The carcass is wound higher than standard construction, adding stability and comfort, particularly on rougher surfaces.
Wet weather grip. The tread hugs undulations in the road surface and keeps a larger contact area at the micro level, supporting grip in wet conditions.
Radial construction. Radial build supports tread stability while keeping the flexibility needed for everyday road use.
Tread wear indicators. Moulded wear bars show when the tread is approaching its replacement limit. Regular checks for cuts, cracks, bulges and irregular wear are still recommended.

Understanding Tyre Size 215/55 R16 / How to Read Tyre Size
Vehicles with 215/55 R16 Tyre Size
What does 215/55 R16 mean?
215/55 R16 is the tyre size.
215 is the maximum width of the tyre in milimetres(mm). When the vehicle is fully loaded its width can expand maximum upto 215 milimetres(mm).
55 is the ratio among width and height of the tyre from its rim. it means that the height of the tyre is precisely 55% of the 215mm. Lower ratio improves road grip, but it reduces comfort to some extent.
R – refers to the method the tyre is produced. The letter “R” is found on all modern car tyres. It indicates the radial structure of tyre cosntructed with steel wires.
16 represents the diameter of the rim. It is a measurement in inches(“). This number should be rememberd as it is the measurement of the rims. It has to match exactly to what is mentioned in the car manual.
