Pros, cons & observations
Themes extracted from owner reviews across retailers and review sites — not the opinion of TireWheelGuide.
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.
The Yokohama Advan ST receives highly critical feedback from users, with consensus pointing toward poor durability and significant quality control issues. Owners frequently report premature failure, including structural distortions and sidewall bulges, alongside disappointing performance in wet conditions.
Cons
- Poor structural integrity leading to premature bulges and distortions
- Short tread life and rapid wear
- High price point relative to performance
- Lack of traction and skittish handling on wet surfaces
- Excessive road noise
Observations
- Users reported significant durability failures within 6,000 miles of use.
- Owners of heavier vehicles, such as the Lexus 450H, noted poor longevity and traction performance.

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.
