Yokohama Advan A052

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

• High speed performance
• Enhanced controllability
• Summer weather traction

OVERVIEW

The Yokohama Advan A052 is a performance and high performance, summer tire manufactured for passenger vehicles.

The tire promotes excellent high speed performance. The stronger internal structure, the durable tire compound and the optimal surface contact all work together to boost the high speed performing durability. The structure maintains the ideal tire shape under the high speed pressure affecting the model. The compound keeps the rubber cool and prevents heat build-up along the tread area, upgrading the high speed traction. The constant surface contact of the asymmetric tread ensures the tire's performing traction and it optimizes the tire's performing durability and high speed controllability. This combination of enhancements enables the tire's racing application, as they ensure its safe racing performance.

The tread design's optimized elements boost the high speed controllability. The asymmetric tread design's flat footprint and the high stability compound rib maintain the tire's surface contact throughout its performance, which boosts the steering responsiveness and the driving stability. 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 tread's larger shoulder area enhances the cornering capability. It upgrades the number of biting edges gripping the road surface during the tire's cornering. The better surface contact also manages to shorten the braking distance. The constant surface contact creates friction between the tire and the road surface at the moment of braking, which enhances the braking power. The better handling of the tire ensures the driver's precise control over the vehicle during its high speed performance.

The Advan A052 offers exceptional summer weather traction. The tread design and the summer compound enhance the dry and wet weather road gripping ability. The asymmetric tread design with the optimal notch placement maximizes the tire's surface contact area, which upgrades the dry traction, even during its high speed performance. The circumferential grooves increase the wet weather surface grip by channeling water from below the footprint to maintain the road contact. In this manner, the tire successfully prevents hydroplaning. On the other hand, the high stability summer compound upgrades the tire's summer traction as well. The compound prevents heat build-up along the tread area, ensuring its ideal traction and road grip throughout its performance. As a result, the tire ensures a safer driving experience.
