From owners
Pros, cons & observations
Themes extracted from owner reviews across retailers and review sites — not the opinion of TireWheelGuide.
The Yokohama ADVAN A460 is a polarizing original equipment tire that is widely praised for its exceptional tread longevity and reliable dry-weather handling. However, user consensus is heavily divided regarding cabin noise, with many owners reporting significant, intrusive road roar, while a minority find it perfectly acceptable.
Pros
- Exceptional tread life and durability
- Strong dry-weather grip and handling
- Reliable performance as an OEM factory tire
- Predictable feedback during spirited driving
Cons
- Excessive and intrusive road noise
- Inconsistent wet-weather performance
- Tendency for rubber to harden or crack over time
- Limited availability in the aftermarket
Observations
- Users with compact sedans like the Toyota Corolla and Mitsubishi Lancer frequently noted the tire's longevity but often cited high noise levels on highway surfaces.
- Drivers of vehicles with less sound insulation reported the tire's noise as a major drawback, whereas some owners of similar vehicles found the noise levels to be perfectly reasonable.
The Yokohama Advan dB V552 is widely regarded as a specialized touring tire that prioritizes cabin quietness and ride comfort above all else. While it excels at absorbing road imperfections and reducing noise for daily commuting, users note that its soft sidewall construction results in a lack of steering precision and reduced grip during high-speed maneuvers.
Pros
- Exceptional noise reduction and quiet operation
- Superior ride comfort and vibration absorption
- Effective at smoothing out potholes and road irregularities
Cons
- Soft sidewalls lead to a 'floating' sensation at highway speeds
- Lack of steering sharpness and cornering confidence
- Mediocre grip levels in both wet and dry conditions compared to performance-oriented tires
Observations
- The tire is specifically engineered as an OE fitment for vehicles like the Mazda3 BP, where its soft sidewall is intended to complement stiffer suspension bushings.
- Users report that increasing tire pressure by 3-4 PSI can mitigate the 'floating' sensation experienced at higher speeds.

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.
