ADVAN dB V553Premium quiet tire review: is it good, who is it for

Yokohama Thailand says tread pattern noise is 15% lower than the previous model, and road noise is 22% lower even after the tire is 60% worn.

Yes. The V553 carries the E+ mark Yokohama uses for tires suitable for EVs.

In Thailand there are 44 sizes on 15–20 inch rims, from 185/60R15 to 245/45R20.

Yokohama is a Japanese tire brand owned by The Yokohama Rubber Co., founded in 1917 and headquartered in Hiratsuka, Kanagawa. Yokohama has passenger car tire plants in Japan and in Thailand (Yokohama Tire Manufacturing Thailand in Rayong added a passenger car tire plant in 2006), but has not said which plant makes this model. Where each tire was made can be seen from the DOT code on the sidewall, which includes the plant code.

Yokohama Thailand says the V553 wears 11% slower, brakes 9% better on wet roads even when worn and handles 2% better on dry roads than the V552. Wide main grooves help keep wet grip as the tire wears, and the contact area is larger. All figures are from Yokohama's own tests.

On the Japanese tire label, the V553 gets rolling resistance grade AA in 17 sizes and A in the other 29, while the V552 gets A in all sizes. The V553 gets wet grip grade a in all sizes, while 5 V552 sizes get b. This data is for sizes sold in Japan; sizes in Thailand may differ.
