From owners
Pros, cons & observations
Themes extracted from owner reviews across retailers and review sites — not the opinion of TireWheelGuide.
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.
The Yokohama Advan Sport V105 is widely regarded as a high-performance summer tire that excels in dry handling, steering responsiveness, and wet-weather confidence. While many users praise its balanced nature and value compared to premium rivals, some report concerns regarding tread longevity and noise levels, particularly as the tires age.
Pros
- Excellent dry road grip and cornering stability
- Strong wet-weather performance and hydroplaning resistance
- High level of steering feedback and turn-in precision
- Competitive pricing compared to other flagship performance brands
- Predictable handling characteristics at the limit
Cons
- Faster-than-average tread wear, especially under spirited driving
- Increased road noise reported by some users
- Performance drop-off in freezing temperatures and snow
- Occasional 'flat-spotting' or vibration after the vehicle has been stationary for extended periods
Observations
- Owners of lightweight sports cars like the Mazda MX-5 report excellent handling balance and longevity, often citing the tire as an ideal OE-style replacement.
- Drivers of high-torque, rear-wheel-drive sedans (e.g., BMW 5-series, Audi S4) note that while grip is impressive, rear tire wear is significantly accelerated compared to front tires.
- Some users with larger luxury sedans noted that the tire's 'firm' construction can lead to a harsher ride over small 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.
