Yokohama Advan V61 - 235/50 R21 101W RPB

The Yokohama Advan V61 is an all-season tyre designed primarily for SUVs and crossovers, offering a balance of comfort, performance, and durability for everyday driving.

It offers capable performance in various conditions, including light snow, but it is not a dedicated winter tyre. For severe winter conditions like deep snow or ice, dedicated winter tyres are recommended.

RPB typically stands for 'Rim Protection Bar', which is a rubber protrusion on the sidewall designed to help protect the wheel rim from curb damage.

It is generally recommended to rotate your tyres every 6,000 to 8,000 miles to promote even tread wear and extend their lifespan.

The Advan V61 is designed for SUVs and crossovers. It is crucial to select the tyre size that matches your specific vehicle's requirements as indicated by the manufacturer.

Tread life varies based on driving habits, road conditions, and maintenance. However, Yokohama's robust construction aims for longevity under normal driving conditions.

Its selection as Original Equipment (OE) indicates that the Advan V61 meets the stringent performance, comfort, and efficiency standards set by Toyota for the BZ4X model.

Check for proper tyre inflation, ensure correct fitment, and verify that wheel balancing is accurate. Road noise can also be inherent to certain tread designs, but excessive or new noise may indicate an issue.

This is often indicative of an alignment issue. Have your vehicle's wheel alignment checked by a professional technician.

Check tyre pressures regularly and ensure they are at the manufacturer's recommended levels. Uneven wear may also suggest the need for a wheel alignment or tyre rotation.

Verify tyre pressure and inspect tread depth. Ensure there are no foreign objects embedded in the tread. If the issue persists, the tyre may be nearing the end of its service life or may not be suitable for the extreme conditions encountered.
