Yokohama Advan A052 255/40R17, Summer, High Performance tires.

Features and Benefits: Summer weather traction; High speed controllability; Upgraded maneuvering; Yokohama Advan A052 TiresThe Yokohama Advan A052 is a performance and high performance, summer tire made for passenger vehicles. The model offers excellent summer weather traction. The high stability compound elements and the asymmetric tread design improve the dry and wet grip on the road surface. The compound materials maintain the rubber flexibility and actively avoid heat build-up while the tires are in motion in summer weather conditions. The tread's better road-to-rubber ratio enhances the surface grip, optimizing the forward motion at all times. The widened circumferential grooves avoid hydroplaning by dispersing water from the footprint, which significantly improves the wet weather driving safety levels. The tread design's road contact upgrades the controllability. The wider surface contact area enhances the steering responsiveness and the driving stability, which ensures the driver's better control over the vehicle. In this manner, the tire is quicker and more precise in its response to the driver's commands, while the structure is secured against the driving pressure affecting the model. The stronger construction and the ideal surface contact improve the high speed performance. The tire does not allow the tire to deform under the high speed pressure and it combats heat build-up along the tread area. This ensures the tire's exceptional high speed durability. The Yokohama Advan A052 also improves the maneuvering capability. The optimized surface contact improves the braking and cornering abilities. The larger outer shoulder area enhances the grip on the road surface with extra biting edges. This allows the tire to enhance the cornering capability by firmly gripping the road surface. On the other hand, the wider footprint enables the tire to shorten the braking distance. These elements generate friction between the tire and the road surface at the moment of braking, optimizing the braking power. This results in a secure high speed performance and handling. 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.
