YOKOHAMA A005 SLICK MEDIUM

190/580r15

Yokohama A005

The Yokohama Advan A005 is a professional slick racing tyre designed exclusively for sporting use. The term slick tells us that the tyre has no tread, and this is done to maximise the tyre's grip on dry asphalt surfaces. This maximises the tyre's performance in dry conditions and therefore reduces it in wet conditions. 

 

What else is worth knowing:

• Available in three compound options - Soft, Medium and Hard


•  Reinforced tyre sidewalls prevent the car from floating in corners


•  Specially formulated compound maximises tyre grip


• Developed through experience gained in various racing series including WTCC

Innovation and Pioneering

Yokohama was the first Japanese tire manufacturer to introduce radial tires to the market in 1963. The company was also a pioneer in producing tires that enhance fuel efficiency and reduce CO2 emissions by minimizing rolling resistance. These innovative tires, known as ES-01 and ES-02, were launched in 1998.

Precise Testing and Global Performance

Yokohama tires are rigorously tested at company-owned test tracks in Japan, Thailand, and Sweden, as well as in testing facilities in Spain and the United States. The company also has a test center at the German Nürburgring track, a key venue for motorsport events, which serves as a benchmark for assessing the performance of newly developed vehicles.

Motorsport Experience

Over the past 60 years, Yokohama has participated in numerous motorsport events, accumulating invaluable knowledge that has advanced the technology used in both sports tires and those for civilian vehicles. Thanks to this experience, Yokohama delivers products with top performance and reliability.
