Yokohama AVS S/T

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

• Summer weather traction
• Enhanced controllability
• Upgraded durability
• Longer lasting tread life

OVERVIEW

The Yokohama AVS S/T is a highway terrain, summer tire manufactured for SUVs.

The tire offers a safer controllability. The directional tread design closely follows the road surface and it maintains its road contact throughout the drive. In this manner, the model boosts the steering responsiveness and the driving stability. The steering is quicker and more precise in its response to the driver's commands, while the structure is stabilized against the driving pressure affecting the model. The directional pattern also manages to create friction between the tire and the road surface at the moment of braking. This allows the model to shorten its stopping distance to enhance the braking power. This combination ensures the tire's exceptional handling.

The tread design and summer compound improve the summer performance. The directional tread design with the ideal tread pattern upgrades the dry and wet weather grip, while the compound avoids heat build-up along the tread area. The tread's angled lateral grooves prevent hydroplaning. They disperse water from below the footprint and increase the wet surface traction. As a result, the tire ensures a safer summer weather performance.

The AVS S/T enhanced its durability. The stronger nylon belt-edge internal structure manages to maintain the ideal tire shape under the load and driving pressure affecting the model. This enables the model to carry and withstand heavy loads with ease, which boosts the load capacity. The strengthened construction also stabilizes the tread area. It actively avoids tread flexing from creating unnecessary friction during the drive. In this manner, the tire is able to evenly distribute the driving pressure along the tread area, actively preventing irregular wear formations across the tread area. This greatly lengthens the model's service life.
