The Yokohama A10E summer tire was specially designed for mid-range sedans. The use of modern technologies and materials in its design allowed this model to have excellent technical characteristics, as well as ensure the absence of pronounced "weak points". Evidence of the presence of such features is the use of this tire in the primary configuration of a number of passenger cars of leading Japanese brands.
Excellent stability at any speed
Since this model belongs to the Ultra High Performance category, it's no surprise that its development focused primarily on ensuring maximum efficiency at high speeds. One of the measures aimed at solving this problem is the design of the central part of the tread. It features a very wide longitudinal rib with a double structure and no interruptions throughout its length. This tread element has exceptional resistance to dynamic deformation, which gives the tire a number of important advantages, especially at high speeds. First and foremost, this is very stable behavior and fast, precise reactions to the driver's actions.
Wide blocks in the shoulder zones
The tread blocks in the shoulder zones have no less resistance to dynamic deformation than the central longitudinal rib. This provides the tire with reliable grip when cornering, and due to the transverse edges of the blocks, it ensures maximum effective deceleration from any speed.
Key features of the Yokohama A10E tire
- a wide double rib in the center increases stability at high speeds, giving the reactions to steering wheel turns maximum speed and accuracy;
- massive blocks in the shoulder zones improve resistance to lateral skidding, increase the effectiveness of the tread during braking.
