YOKOHAMA A050

The Yokohama ADVAN A050 is a tire from the ADVAN family, designed specifically for sporty driving on dry asphalt. It's a perfect choice for those who strive for fast lap times and predictable handling on the track or in events such as time attack, hillclimb, gymkhana, or tarmac (depending on the version). The A050 offers a distinctive "racing" feel – quick steering response, cornering stability, and powerful braking on hot surfaces.

Why A050?

Semi-slick for dry asphalt – designed for maximum grip and driving speed.

Stable contact patch in corners – a groove and tread block layout designed for high G-forces.

Powerful braking and stiffness – a large block/rib in the central area supports vehicle control during braking and quick directional changes.

Optimized wear – rounded, wide grooves promote even tread wear.

Different compounds – a choice of versions (e.g., Soft/Medium and motorsport markings depending on the market) allows you to tailor the tire to temperatures and driving style.
