What owners say

No road-test results yet, so every score here comes from owner reviews found online.

How scores work

Relative score: 0–100. Blends road tests (60%) and owner reviews (40%) category by category, the same way on every TireWheelGuide page. With only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from it, so the score stays closer to average. It needs at least one road test or five owner reviews.
Road tests: 0–100 per score, from published tests, newer tests counting more. Each result is compared with every other tire in the same test, so a win against a strong field counts for more. The average tested tire gets 70, the best 100; with only one or two tests a tire stays nearer 70. The discipline rows show % of the best tire in that test.
Owner reviews: 0–100 from the owner reviews we found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates and scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70. With only a few reviews a tire stays near the average.

What owners like and dislike

Themes extracted from 3 owner reviews found online.

The Yokohama Advan S4 is widely regarded by users as a disappointing all-season tire that fails to deliver adequate performance in both dry and wet conditions. Owners frequently report significant issues with handling, specifically noting poor traction and a lack of confidence in inclement weather, including snow.

Pros

Acceptable handling characteristics at very low city speeds
Responsiveness can be marginally improved by adjusting tire pressure

Cons

Poor traction and grip in both wet and dry conditions
Significant lack of performance in snow and winter environments
Noticeable understeer and sluggish turn-in response
Harsh ride quality when tire pressures are increased to compensate for handling issues

Worth knowing

Users noted that the tire's handling deficiencies, particularly understeer, often necessitate vehicle suspension modifications like a stiffer rear sway bar.
Increasing tire pressure to 38psi front and 34psi rear improves turn-in response but negatively impacts ride comfort over road imperfections.
