Yokohama AVID ENVigor ZPS Tires

The Yokohama AVID ENVigor ZPS is a performance and high performance, all season tire made for passenger vehicles and SUVs.

The tire increases the all weather traction. The optimal tread design's 3D siping placement and the all season compound enhance the dry, wet and winter weather grip. This combination upgrades the grip on the road surface with extra biting edges, which optimize the tire's traction all year round. On the other hand, the stronger compound manages to maintain the rubber flexibility in versatile temperatures. The circumferential grooves prevent hydroplaning by dispersing water and slush from the footprint, enhancing the wet weather grip.

The ZPS or Zero Pressure System reinforced the tire's structure, which enables its limited, temporary performance in case of air pressure loss. Once air pressure leaves the tire, it can be driven on for 50 miles up to 50 mph as the structure withstands the weight of the vehicle and its passengers. This significantly upgrades the tire's driving durability, preventing the vehicle from being stuck on the side of the road. Instead, the vehicle can be driven to a nearby location, where the damaged tire can be fixed or changed. Run flat tires should not be mounted on the same vehicle with regular tires.

The durable traction and the silica compound improve the fuel efficiency. This combination optimizes the pressure along the footprint while the tires are in motion, which helps to lower the rolling resistance. The rolling resistance is the pressure affecting the tire which determines the vehicle's fuel intake levels. This allows the tire to minimize the vehicle's needed fuel consumption and CO2 emissions in order to maintain motion, which guarantees a fuel conscious and environmentally friendly driving experience.

The tread design utilizes the uni-block shoulder and tapered center rib to upgrade the controllability. They maintain the surface contact while the tires are in motion, which allows the tire to boost the steering responsiveness and the driving stability, The steering is quicker and more precise, while the structure is secured against the driving pressure. The uni-block shoulder pattern also firmly grips the road surface at all times, which enhances the cornering capability and the maneuvering power. This combination ensures the driver's control over the vehicle at all times.

The six-degree pitch variation along the tread area allows the tire to boost the comfort levels. The variable pitch sequence manages to negate the soundwaves while the tires are in motion. The pitch sequence generates a sound-cancelling frequency which cancels out the sound waves generated during the drive. As a result, the sound waves cannot reach the vehicle's cabin and ruin the passengers' driving enjoyment, which promotes a quiet and comfortable driving experience.

The Yokohama AVID ENVigor ZPS also extends the usability. The optimal road contact patch and the groove-in-groove design increase the service life. The stronger compound elements utilize the wear-resistant rubber materials, which reduce the tread wear rate. The stabilized footprint avoids tread flexing, while allowing the tire to evenly distribute the driving pressure along the tread area. In this manner, the tire guarantees a longer lasting tread life, as it ensures a slower and even wear.
