The Yokohama ADVAN dB V551 225/55 R17 is a premium comfort tyre developed for midsize to larger sedans and crossovers approved for this size. It is engineered to hold a wider, more stable footprint while keeping the refined, quiet ride the ADVAN dB range is built around.
The tyre's compound uses fewer, longer polymers than standard rubber, reducing the waste heat generated at polymer ends and lowering rolling resistance without compromising grip.
Wider Stability with Refined Quiet
The 225 mm tread width gives a wide, stable contact area suited to larger sedans and crossovers carrying regular passenger and luggage loads. The 55 profile sidewall is wound higher than standard, balancing confident cornering with a smooth everyday ride.
This size fits drivers who want extra road contact stability and load carrying confidence, while still enjoying the quiet, refined cabin the ADVAN dB range is built for.
The 225/55 R17 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 225/55 R17 / How to Read Tyre Size
Vehicles with 225/55 R17 Tyre Size
What does 225/55 R17 mean?
225/55 R17 is the tyre size.
225 is the maximum width of the tyre in milimetres(mm). When the vehicle is fully loaded its width can expand maximum upto 225 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 225mm. 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.
17 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.
