Attention! Due to the size of the tires, Packages might be SEPARATED in the courier facility and not be DELIVERED on the SAME DAY, even though we do ship them together. Tracking information can be checked by logging on to the courier website with the master tracking number you will receive via email. For example, you can receive 3 tires in one day and the 4th one the next day or the day after, or one tire in one day and the second one day after. We understand that this is a big inconvenience for our buyers, however, this is ABSOLUTELY out of our control.
Yokohama AVID Ascend LX
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
- All weather traction
- Enhanced controllability
- High driving comfort levels
- Longer lasting tread life
OVERVIEW
The Yokohama AVID Ascend LX is a touring, all season tire manufactured for passenger vehicles and SUVs. Yokohama offers an 85,000 mile treadwear warranty with this tire model.
The tire promotes great all weather traction. It combines the all season compound and the detailed asymmetric tread design to boost the dry, wet and winter weather road gripping capability. The high-density siping pattern along the ribbed tread design increases the number of biting edges gripping the road surface, while the compound’s rubber materials maintain their rubber flexibility in versatile temperatures. This combination enables the tire’s secure performance on ice- and snow-covered road surface conditions. The tread’s circumferential and lateral grooves disperse water and slush from below the footprint, enhancing the wet and winter traction and driving safety levels.
The tread design’s ribbed pattern upgrades the tire’s surface contact throughout its performance. The better road contact manages to boost the steering responsiveness and the driving stability. In other words, the steering is faster and more accurate, while the structure is secured against the driving pressure affecting the model. The shoulder tread block placement, with the siping detail, increases the cornering and maneuvering capability and power. The detailed siping pattern creates friction between the tire and the road surface at the moment of braking, significantly shortening the model’s braking distance. This combination enables the tire to securely perform at all times, while keeping the driver’s control over the vehicle.
The model enhances the tread life length. The tread’s asymmetric ribbed design provides an optimized tire footprint which maintains the model’s ideal surface contact throughout its performance. In this manner, the model is able to equally circulate the forces of acceleration, cornering and braking along the tread area, which actively prevents irregular wear formations across the tread area. On the other hand, the L-2 compound utilizes its rubber materials to decrease the tread wear rate by avoiding premature wear formations. As a result, this ensures the tire’s lengthened usability and tread life.
The AVID Ascend LX increases the comfort levels during the tire’s performance. The tread’s multi-pitch design lowers the road noise levels heard in the vehicle’s cabin during the drive. This variable pitch creates a special sound frequency which negates the soundwaves generated while the tires are in motion. The soundwaves are cancelled out before they can reach the vehicle’s cabin and ruin the passenger’s driving enjoyment, resulting in a quiet and comfortable driving experience.
