Yokohama Advan S.T. 275/50R20, Summer, High Performance tires.

Features and Benefits: Summer weather traction; Enhanced controllability; High speed performance; Yokohama Advan S. T. TiresThe Yokohama Advan S. T. is a high performance, summer tire made for SUVs. The tire increases the summer weather performing capability. The dry and wet traction are guaranteed with the ideal tread design and the summer compound. This combination allows the tire to firmly grip the road surface, optimizing the safer summer weather performance. The tread design's road-to-rubber ratio and the heat-resistant compound elements enhance the traction. The two wide circumferential and angled lateral grooves prevent hydroplaning. They disperse water from the footprint, further ensuring a safer summer drive. The tread pattern features a continuous center rib which keeps the road contact at all times. This enables the tire to maintain the road contact throughout the performance, which boosts the steering responsiveness and driving stability. The widened shoulder block placement enables the tire to firmly grip the road surface with extra biting edges. The better surface grip upgrades the cornering and maneuvering capability and power. The angled groove placement generates friction between the tire and the road surface at the moment of braking. In this manner, the tire is able to enhance the braking power. These improvements optimize the tire's ideal controllability, by guaranteeing the driver's better control over the vehicle. The Yokohama Advan S. T. upgrades the high speed durability. The heat-resistant compound and the stronger construction work together to enable the tire to securely perform at high speeds. The summer compound prevents heat build-up along the tread area, while the structure maintains the ideal tire shape under the pressure. In this manner, the tire safely performs throughout its performance. This tire model was manufactured as the original equipment tire of select Mercedes-Benz vehicles. 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.
