Yokohama Avid Ascend GT 225/60 R18 100H

Features and Benefits: All season traction; High driving comfort levels; Improved controllability; Longer tread life; Yokohama AVID Ascend GT TiresThe Yokohama AVID Ascend GT is a touring, all season tire made to be mounted on passenger vehicles. It comes with a 65,000 mile warranty. The tire promotes excellent all weather traction. The tread desig... moren and the all season compound combined improves the dry, wet and winter weather road gripping ability. The compound keeps the tire's flexibility throughout the year, by optimizing the tire's grip on the road surface. The tread pattern's multiple 3D sipes and notched tread blocks work together to increase the grip in various conditions. The wide circumferential grooves prevent hydroplaning by dispersing water and slush from below the tire's footprint. The better water draining capability and constant all weather traction ensure a secure year round performance. The ideal tread design stabilizes the tread elements, which improves the tire's road contact. This increased contact with the road surface upgrades the model's controllability. It boosts the steering responsiveness and the driving stability. In other words, it makes the tire faster and more accurate in its response to the driver's commands, while the structure is stabilized against the driving pressure affecting the model. The asymmetric groove placement enhances the braking capability. It improves the road contact and allows the tire to grip the road and significantly shorten the braking distance, providing a safer drive. The special stabilized tread elements also increase the length of the tread life. They prevent tread flexing during the drive, which enables the tire to evenly distribute the driving pressure along the tread area. The balanced circulation of the forces of acceleration, cornering and braking extend the tread life by preventing irregular wear formations. The durable TriBLEND compound, on the other hand, manages to slow the tread wear rate down. The compound is wear-resistant, which lengthens the tire's usability and tread life. The AVID Ascend GT guarantees a quiet drive. The tread's outer adaptive shoulder design increases the driving comfort levels by lowering the road noise. These tread elements manage to channel the airwaves through the tire's footprint, without allowing them to come into contact with the tread elements. This results in a comfortable and quiet driving experience in all weather. Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored bef
