Yokohama Avid Ascend

Being designed primarily for the North American market, the Yokohama Avid Ascend passenger tire for SUVs, crossovers, and minivans is positioned as an all-season model on it.

Optimized profile shape

The key feature of this tire is not its asymmetrical tread, but the profile. Its shape was calculated in such a way as to minimize rolling resistance and make the distribution of external load on the contact patch as even as possible. The practical result of this solution is excellent fuel efficiency and a very long tread life.

Special bridges between shoulder blocks

The shoulder zones of the tread seem to contain many separate blocks at first glance. They are connected to each other by small bridges. The presence of a rigid connection between them, on the one hand, improves the tire's performance when maneuvering and braking, and on the other hand, increases acoustic comfort.

Main features of Yokohama Avid Ascend

- reduced rolling resistance and increased wear resistance due to the optimized profile shape of the tread;
- rigid bridges between shoulder blocks improve handling, reduce braking distance, and improve acoustic comfort.
