Yokohama Aspec A349

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

• Summer weather traction
• Enhanced controllability
• Fuel efficient performance
• High driving comfort levels

OVERVIEW

The Yokohama Aspec A349 is a touring, summer tire manufactured for SUVs.

The tread design and summer compound increase the summer weather traction. The symmetric tread design with the optimal grip on the road surface upgrades the dry and wet weather road grip with additional biting edges. The compound prevents heat build-up along the tread area and keeps the tire pliable during its high heat performance. The tread features circumferential grooves, which disperse water from below the footprint, further enhancing the wet weather traction.

The tread design upgrades the model's controllability. The tread's close and constant surface contact upgrades the steering responsiveness and the driving stability. In other words, the steering becomes faster and more precise in its response to the driver's commands, while the structure is stabilized against the driving pressure affecting the model. The optimal groove pattern increases the grip on the road surface. This design manages to create friction between the tire and the road surface at the moment of braking, decreasing the tire's stopping distance and offering a safer performing ability.

The model's ideal traction guarantees a fuel efficient drive. The tread design and all season compound increase the model's traction and ease the driving pressure off the tire in the process. This enables the tire to reduce the rolling resistance, which is the pressure determining the vehicle's needed fuel intake. By lowering the rolling resistance, the tire manages to lessen the vehicle's fuel consumption and CO2 emissions, promoting a fuel conscious and environmentally friendly performance.

The Aspec A349 improves the comfort levels. The close surface contact of the ideal tread pattern allows the tire to absorb the shock of driving. As a result, the tire minimizes the road vibrations felt in the vehicle's cabin while the tires are in motion. In this manner, road disturbances cannot dampen the passengers' driving enjoyment, guaranteeing a comfortable driving experience.
