Yokohama Avid Ascend LX 205/70 R16 97T

The Yokohama Avid Ascend LX summer tire is a "touring" model designed for passenger cars with improved dynamic properties. It is distinguished by its high stability at high speeds, comfortable handling, effective braking on dry and wet surfaces, low noise level, and "brand-name" reliability even on poor roads.

The tread pattern is notable for its large number of gripping edges for summer tires. A significant part of them is formed by 3D lamellas with extended transverse edges. In combination with blocks, this significantly increases traction and braking intensity on wet surfaces. These properties are noticeably enhanced by the rubber compound. Its composition includes a large amount of "silica" and a unique combination of polymers that not only add elasticity to the tire at low temperatures, improving grip on cold wet surfaces, but also provide additional resistance to abrasive wear, cracks, and small cracks.

The tire's tread also stands out for its profile. Its optimization allowed for the expansion of the contact patch, giving it a shape that promotes more even pressure distribution on the road surface. In addition to improving traction and handling, this solution also reduced wear and noise. It is worth noting the arrangement of the tread pattern elements with a certain step and the inclination of the numerous gripping edges. This significantly reduces noise and vibration, especially on roads with poor surface quality.
