From owners

Pros, cons & observations

Themes extracted from owner reviews across retailers and review sites — not the opinion of TireWheelGuide.

Tire A Yokohama ADVAN A460

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.
Tire B Yokohama C Drive2

The Yokohama C Drive2 is widely regarded as a comfort-oriented touring tire that excels in noise reduction and ride quality, making it a popular choice for daily commuters. While many users praise its wet and dry grip, performance is polarizing; some drivers report excellent handling, while others find the grip limits unpredictable or insufficient for spirited driving.

Pros

  • Exceptional ride comfort and vibration damping
  • Low road noise levels
  • Strong wet weather performance for most users
  • Good value for money

Cons

  • Inconsistent tread life, with some users reporting rapid wear
  • Handling can feel vague or lack feedback for performance-oriented drivers
  • Sudden loss of grip at the limit
  • Noise levels may increase significantly as the tire ages

Observations

  • Users with stiffly sprung or performance-tuned vehicles (e.g., Golf GTI, modified hatchbacks) often appreciate the tire's ability to mitigate suspension harshness.
  • Drivers of heavier or higher-powered vehicles reported mixed results, with some noting excellent stability and others experiencing rapid, uneven tread wear.
  • The tire is frequently cited as a significant comfort upgrade over OE-fitted performance tires on mid-sized sedans.

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.
