Yokohama YK-GTX All Season

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

• Enhanced controllability
• All season performance
• Quiet driving experience
• Longer-lasting tread life

OVERVIEW

The Yokohama YK-GTX All Season is a touring, all season tire manufactured for passenger vehicles.

Consistent road contact boosts the tire's overall controllability. The model maintains surface contact throughout the drive, enhancing steering responsiveness and driving stability. The steering becomes faster and more precise in its response to the driver's commands. Additionally, the structure is secured against the driving pressure affecting the model. The shoulder block placement enhances the cornering ability. These blocks provide additional biting edges, which grip the road surface during maneuvering. This combination ensures the driver's control over the vehicle at all times.

Excellent year-round traction is provided with this tire. The ideal tread design and the all season compound increase the tire's traction in dry, wet, and winter-weather conditions. In other words, the ideal tread pattern generates biting edges to increase road grip, while the silica compound keeps the rubber flexible in changing temperatures. At the same time, circumferential grooves effectively eliminate water and slush from the footprint. They resist hydroplaning and ensure the tire's safe performance, even on wet roads.

Longer-lasting tread life is guaranteed with this tire. The optimized footprint and the strong compound work together to increase the service life. The even pressure circulation avoids irregular wear formations along the tread area, while the compound decreases the overall treadwear rate. The tread's slow and even wear manner significantly elongates the tire's service life.

The Yokohama YK-GTX All Season keeps noise levels reduced at all times. The tread block placement enables the tire to channel airwaves through the footprint, without allowing their contact with the tread elements. In this manner, the tread elements do not generate sound waves, which guarantees a comfortable drive. As road disturbances do not ruin the passengers' driving enjoyment, the model is able to promote a quiet performance.

Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored before they are sold, the year of their manufacture will not shorten their service life.
