Yokohama have announced that it has begun supplying its ADVAN dB V552 tyres as original equipment (OE) to Honda Motor Co., Ltd., for use on its new SUV, the ZR-V. The new SUV will go on sale in Japan and overseas. The new SUVs are being fitted with 215/60R17 96H and 225/55R18 98H size tyres.
The ADVAN dB V552 is a premium comfort tyre developed based on the concept of “an unprecedentedly* silent tyre that changes the in-car atmosphere.” The tyre realises an amazingly calm in-vehicle atmosphere that helps provide a more pleasant in-car experience to drivers. The ADVAN dB V552 delivers the high manoeuvrability and quietness demanded by Honda’s ZR-V, while reducing rolling resistance.
* Use of “unprecedentedly” here refers to tyres developed and marketed to date by Yokohama
