Yokohama’s new EV-specific Advan dB v553 and Advan Sport EV v108 offer high performance and high efficiency

Yokohama’s new range of EV tyres balances high levels of performance and efficiency, with a perfect option available for every EV owner.

An electric vehicle (EV) uses tyres in a very different way from conventional internal combustion engine (ICE) cars due to increased weight and torque figures, resulting in higher wear rates. EVs are also much quieter than ICE cars, thanks to the lack of an engine, which makes tyre noise much more noticeable.

To combat these issues head-on, Yokohama has developed two new tyres designed specifically for EVs. 

The first is the Advan Sport EV v108, a sportier compound designed to handle sportier driving. The performance-focused tread pattern enhances grip, making it ideal for navigating sharp turns or brisk accelerations. 

The v108 is also full of other innovations, such as a special compound that reduces rolling resistance to extend the cruising range of your car and silent foam in the construction of the tyre that dramatically reduces noise levels. 

The v108’s combination of efficiency and performance allows you to experience the full capabilities of your EV without sacrificing on sustainability.

For those who are not driving a performance EV, the Advan dB v553 puts an extra focus on comfort and quietness. Its unique tread pattern enhances grip while simultaneously minimising road noise, ensuring a quiet, smooth, and comfortable ride regardless of what model of EV you’re driving.

The dB v553’s tread pattern and advanced rubber compound also give it substantial grip in the wet, keeping you, your car, and your passengers safe in all driving conditions. Its low rolling resistance also means that drivers can stretch their vehicles' range even further, saving money and the environment at the same time.

Regardless of whether you’re looking for a sporty or serene drive in your EV, Yokohama has a tyre for you. For more information on the Advan dB v553 or the Advan Sport EV v108, visit Yokohama Singapore’s website.
