Yokohama A-008 Tires
The Yokohama A-008 is a performance, summer tire manufactured for passenger vehicles. The reinforced internal structure and the special rubber compound enable the tire to safely perform at high speeds. The construction maintains an ideal tire shape under driving pressure, while the compound prevents heat build-up along the tread area.
The asymmetric tread design and the continuous road contact boost the steering response time and accuracy to the driver’s commands, while the structure is secured against driving pressure. Large shoulder blocks and the strong grip upgrade cornering, while the siping detail improves braking. These elements give the driver full control over the vehicle, promoting a safe driving experience.
The Yokohama A-008 also offers a great summer performance. In this manner, the asymmetric tread design is able to maintain close surface contact in the summer season. The summer compound prevents heat build-up along the tread area in hot temperatures. On the other hand, the model has large circumferential grooves, which prevent hydroplaning. These grooves are able to eliminate water from the footprint in wet situations. This combination enables the tire to safely perform in dry and wet conditions. This guarantees excellent summer weather traction and performance, which enables the driver to have a comfortable ride.
