Description Yokohama HF Type-D A008S
The summer tire Yokohama HF Type-D A008S is a replica of a model for sports cars produced in the early 80s of the last century. The tire is designed for Japanese cars of that time, now considered "timeless classics". With an authentic exterior, it differs in characteristics that meet modern requirements thanks to the use of advanced technologies and materials.
The asymmetric tread pattern is distinguished by a design that largely borrowed from classic racing "semi-slicks". It features angular massive elements with high resistance to deformation, which significantly increases directional stability and handling accuracy at any speed. These features are substantially enhanced by the modern tread profile, which increases the contact patch and ensures even load distribution on the road surface.
An important feature is the use of a combined carcass. It uses both synthetic nylon fibers and a classic two-layer cord made of steel wires. This solution increases the tire's carrying capacity, its ability to withstand even significant impact, providing more precise handling and improving stability at high speeds.
Key features of the Yokohama HF Type-D A008S
- Asymmetric tread pattern with massive elements provides directional stability and sports handling;
- Improved compound resistant to wear, cracks, and prolonged heating;
- Combined carcass made of nylon and 2-layer steel cord increases stability and prevents tire damage from strong impacts at high speeds.
