Why Choose the Yokohama Advan A052?
The Advan A052 isn't just a tire; it's a competitive advantage. It’s built for the enthusiast who needs immediate, predictable, and overwhelming grip.
- World-Class Dry Grip: Featuring Yokohama's advanced MS Compound 2R, this tire heats up almost instantly to provide phenomenal adhesion for shorter braking distances, incredible cornering force, and faster acceleration out of the turns.
- Razor-Sharp Steering Response: A solid center rib and high-stability, low-void outboard shoulder blocks create a stable, continuous contact patch. The result is immediate turn-in and telepathic steering feedback that connects you directly to the road.
- Predictable At-the-Limit Handling: The unique rounded rib profile helps control contact pressure and maintain grip as cornering forces build, giving you the confidence to explore the limits of your vehicle without any surprises.
- Street-Legal, Track-Ready: The Advan A052 is fully DOT-approved and meets the 200 UTQG treadwear requirement for popular street-tire racing classes, making it the perfect "drive-to-the-track" solution for competitors and HPDE enthusiasts.
Engineered for Victory: A Deeper Look
Every element of the Advan A052 is optimized for speed.
- Motorsport-Derived Compound: The exclusive MS Compound 2R was developed using technology from Yokohama's world-championship racing series. This high-grip silica compound balances the need for quick warm-up on an autocross course with the durability to manage heat over a full track session, ensuring consistent performance from the first lap to the last.
- Asymmetric Tread for Maximum Performance: The A052's asymmetric tread pattern is a masterpiece of function. The massive, virtually solid outboard shoulder puts more rubber on the road during aggressive cornering. Two wide, circumferential inner grooves provide a channel for water evacuation, giving you confidence should you encounter damp surfaces.
- High-Stiffness Casing: Beneath the tread lies a high-turnup rayon casing with two wide steel belts. This robust construction provides exceptional sidewall stiffness, maintaining a stable contact patch under the extreme G-forces of braking, cornering, and acceleration. This stability translates directly into precise, predictable handling you can count on.
