The Yokohama Advan A050 tyre stands out due to its high-technology heritage, a result of Yokohama's experience in the racing world. This tyre is specifically designed to deliver superior performance in terms of cornering, braking, and traction, while ensuring exceptional handling. It has become the preferred tyre in Australia for various competitions such as asphalt rallies, hill climbs, the Improved Production Racing Association (IPRA) competitions, and Time Attack events.
Available in Soft and Medium compounds, the ADVAN A050 incorporates advanced technical features to maximise performance:
- Groove location control: An optimised distribution of grooves ensures smooth handling in corners thanks to a stable contact area from the shoulder to the centre.
- Large central block: The presence of a large central block, in synergy with the central rib, guarantees effective braking and better resistance to lateral forces.
- Rounded edge grooves: The wide sequential grooves with rounded edges promote a uniform distribution of pressure on the road, contributing to a more even wear of the tread.
- Faster lap times: Thanks to the minimisation of the movement of the contact area's median line during cornering, the A050 offers precise handling response on various high-speed circuit surfaces.
- Newly developed profile and construction: The tyre's profile has been optimised after numerous road tests, thus ensuring improved performance.
