Yokohama AVS dB (decibel) tires

tsk13 · 17th February 2010, 22:42

Considering Nikhil's point, it's CPC2 v/s Primacy LC. God, tyres for BHPians are a lengthy but fruitful process.

Nikhilb2008 · 18th February 2010, 00:07

I would rate Psycho's advice highly.

So, now my advice would be COnti CPC2 = V550 > Primacy LC.

This is for performance.

For outright comfort and silence, then it would have to be V550 = Primacy LC > Conti CPC2.

CPC2 is a little noisy. Michelins and this model of Yokos are among the most silent tyres in the market as of now.

Thanks a ton Nikhil, Yokohama is the choice now. Psycho, right now what's your take on the tyre?

Psycho · 18th February 2010, 09:35

LC is a great tyre but I opted for the Yoko for the difference in price but have not been let down by the quality and am extremely satisfied with the decision.

dna db and avs db are targeted for comfort but still different, avs db has better handling and grip whereas dna db is outright comfort.

tsk13 · 18th February 2010, 20:49

Psycho, thanks for the update. Yoko is confirmed for the City now. Thanks all.

tsk13 · 18th February 2010, 21:13

Guys, what is the expected life from these tyres? I was told to be 40k-45k Kms.

Nikhilb2008 · 18th February 2010, 21:18

Yes... it will be around that much. Dont expect more than 45k. But if you get it, then be happy!

tsk13 · 18th February 2010, 21:38

Thanks Nikhil. That's enough from a high end tyre, atleast for me.

Did you purchase Yoko V550 ?
How good are the tyres in terms of comfort, grip and noise level ?

Just another question in long discussed topic...
What is the life span among these 3 tyres?
LC, CPC2, and Yoko
you can consider occasional high speed on higways and rest normal city driving in delhi-Noida condition.

Are both there tyres available in 195/55 R15 and which of these two are comparatively more comfortable.

ph03n!x · 18th April 2010, 15:43

DNA dB is for comfort, AVS dB is for handling AND comfort. Am sure AVS dB is available in 195/55 R15, not sure about DNA dB.

Nope. Not available.

In 195/55 R15, you have only A Drives, S Drives and Advan Neovas.

My Friend has Yokohama C-Drive tyres installed in the size you have mentioned, he bought the tyres with B&W.
