Description Yokohama Avid S34F
The summer tire Yokohama Avid S34F was created with the preferences of a specific target audience in mind — car owners who value the combination of comfort, economy, and stability of traction properties on dry and wet surfaces. The model belongs to the Avid lineup, whose representatives have always been strong in universality, ensured by excellent efficiency, both in daily city use and in long-distance travel on high-speed highways.
To a significant extent, such a set of operational properties is ensured by the design of the tread pattern with a wide continuous longitudinal rib in the middle. It guarantees course stability and accurate reaction to steering, while the wide shoulder blocks improve grip when cornering, providing confidence on high-speed roads. The increased longitudinal grooves reduce the risk of aquaplaning to a minimum at almost any speed.
The tire is made using a patented rubber compound that includes high-dispersion silica and polymers. This formula provides an optimal balance between traction and rolling resistance. The high silica content improves traction on wet surfaces and increases the elasticity of the rubber at low temperatures, including values close to "zero", which allows for seasonal tire changes in early spring or late autumn.
The tire's carcass is made using modern technology, which involves a combination of a strong nylon belt and a steel cord located underneath. This increases strength and resistance to dynamic loads, as well as prevents tire deformation at high speeds. The optimized pressure distribution across the contact patch promotes even wear, extending the service life even with intensive use.
To improve acoustic comfort, Yokohama's engineers applied the Silent Shoulder Design technology — a special shape of the shoulder blocks and a variable pitch of the tread elements. This solution reduces the level of noise and vibrations, making the movement more smooth and comfortable.
Key features of the Yokohama Avid S34F:
- Advanced All-Season Compound rubber compound with silica content improves traction and reduces fuel consumption;
- special carcass manufacturing technology increases tire strength and stability at high speeds;
- optimized tread block pitch reduces noise and vibrations.
