Yokohama 285/75R245 SPEC2 101ZL G/14 LONG HAUL STEER 120171128

Yokohama AVID Ascend GTFEATURES AND BENEFITS All weather traction; Enhanced controllability; Longer lasting tread life; Reduced road noise levels; OVERVIEWThe Yokohama AVID Ascend GT is a touring all season tire manufactured for passenger vehicles. Yokohama offers a 65,000 mile treadwear warranty with this model. The tire promotes great all weather... moretraction. The tread pattern, with its multiple 3D siping detail and the notched tread blocks, and the special TriBLEND compound work together to increase the dry, wet and winter weather road gripping capability. The compound uses low-Tg polymer and high silica levels to improve and maintain the tire's flexibility even in colder temperatures, while the siping detail and stabilized tread elements maintain a firm grip on the road surface. The tread pattern's optimal circumferential groove design effectively channels water and slush away from the tire's footprint, actively resisting hydroplaning when driving through standing water. The enhanced hydroplaning prevention and all weather traction ensure a safer year round driving experience. The asymmetric tread pattern with the deep circumferential grooves and optimal siped and notched center ribs closely follows the road surface in all conditions. The stabilized tread elements, in this manner, upgrade the steering responsiveness and driving stability. In other words, the steering becomes faster and more precise in its responsiveness to the driver's commands, while the structure is stabilized against the driving pressure affecting the tire. The optimal asymmetric groove arrangement manages to shorten the braking distance significantly, even in wet and slippery weather. The tread's stabilized elements create friction at the moment of braking, boosting the model's stopping capability. The safer braking capability and better controllability enable the driver to confidently maneuver the vehicle at all times. The model guarantees a longer lasting tread life. The stabilized tread elements and the special TriBLEND compound ensure a lengthened usability. The stabilized elements prevent tread flexing, which enables the tire to evenly spread out the driving pressure along the tread area. The equally circulated forces of acceleration, cornering and braking lengthen the tread life and the tire's usability by preventing irregular wear formations across the tire's surface. The TriBLEND compound's polymer and silica elements strengthen the compound and make it wear-resistant. In this manner, the tire ensures a slower tread wear rate
