Description Yokohama C.Drive AC02A
The summer tire Yokohama C.Drive AC02A is designed for compact and mid-size passenger cars. It is characterized by improved traction on wet surfaces, reduced rolling resistance, long service life, and excellent handling.
Spiral grooves
One of the key features of the asymmetric tread pattern is the unusual spiral shape of the drainage grooves in the central part. It prevents the formation of vortices in the water flow, which accelerates its removal from the contact patch. The process is further intensified by the beveled edges of the grooves.
Silica-enriched compound
The tread compound is distinguished by an extremely high silica content. This was achieved through the use of special polymers that provide a uniform rubber mixture at the molecular level. As a result, the tire demonstrates excellent traction on wet surfaces, combined with reduced rolling resistance and resistance to abrasive wear.
Key features of the Yokohama C.Drive AC02A model
- designed for compact and mid-size passenger cars;
- spiral drainage grooves with beveled edges increase resistance to aquaplaning;
- silica-enriched compound provides confident behavior on wet surfaces, reduces rolling resistance, and increases resistance to abrasive wear;
- shoulder areas with shortened drainage grooves improve resistance to lateral skidding.
