Yokohama AVID S34D 205/50R17, All Season, Performance tires.

Yokohama AVID S34D (OE)FEATURES AND BENEFITS All weather traction; Enhanced controllability; High driving comfort levels; OVERVIEWThe Yokohama AVID S34D (OE) is a performance, all season tire manufactured for passenger vehicles. This model is the original equipment tire for select vehicles. The tire upgrades the year round traction. The asymmetric ribbed tread design features a detailed siping and notch pattern that upgrades the grip on the dry, wet and winter weather surface conditions. These tread elements increase the number of biting edges gripping the road surface throughout the year. The circumferential grooves disperse water and slush from below the footprint, enabling the tire to successfully avoid hydroplaning. The model enhances its controllability. The asymmetric ribbed tread design closely follows the road surface throughout its performance. This allows the tire to increase the steering responsiveness and the driving stability significantly. 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 shoulder tread block placement improves the cornering and maneuvering ability and power. These tread elements boost the cornering and maneuvering power with additional biting edges, which grip the road surface firmly. The siping and notch pattern helps shorten the braking distance by creating friction between the tire and the road surface, enhancing the braking safety. The AVID S34D (OE) promotes a quiet drive. The tread's variable phase shift enhances the driving comfort levels. It manages to lower the road and tread pattern noise by negating the sound waves generated while the tires are in motion. In this manner, the sound waves cannot reach the vehicle's cabin and cannot dampen the passenger's driving enjoyment. This ensures a comfortable and enjoyable driving experience. This tire model was manufactured as the original equipment tire of select 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.
