Pros, cons & observations
Themes extracted from owner reviews across retailers and review sites — not the opinion of TireWheelGuide.
Not enough owner reviews yet to extract themes.
The Yokohama Advan S4 is widely regarded by users as a disappointing all-season tire that fails to deliver adequate performance in both dry and wet conditions. Owners frequently report significant issues with handling, specifically noting poor traction and a lack of confidence in inclement weather, including snow.
Pros
- Acceptable handling characteristics at very low city speeds
- Responsiveness can be marginally improved by adjusting tire pressure
Cons
- Poor traction and grip in both wet and dry conditions
- Significant lack of performance in snow and winter environments
- Noticeable understeer and sluggish turn-in response
- Harsh ride quality when tire pressures are increased to compensate for handling issues
Observations
- Users noted that the tire's handling deficiencies, particularly understeer, often necessitate vehicle suspension modifications like a stiffer rear sway bar.
- Increasing tire pressure to 38psi front and 34psi rear improves turn-in response but negatively impacts ride comfort over road imperfections.

How do we compare tires?
Every category score blends two independent signals. 60% comes from professional tire tests (braking distances, lap times, noise measurements) normalized against the best tire in each test and weighted toward recent tests. 40% comes from thousands of owner reviews collected from retailers and review sites. When a tire has only one of the two, we use what exists and say so.
Community buzz from Reddit and forums is shown for context only — it never changes the score.
