Details for Yokohama Avid TRZ | Auto Options Berkeley, CA

Features

WINTER TRACTION - Horizontal tread elements on the inside of the tread are optimized for winter traction.

Adaptive sipes change shape as the tread wears. Through Yokohamaâ€™s patent-pending design, traditional 2-D sipes evolve into 3-D sipes to maintain ice and snow traction over the life of the tire.

Cross-grooves and horizontal elements work together to provide bite for winter traction.

Advanced silica compound is more pliable at lower temperatures to ensure better winter traction.

WATER EVACUATION - Vertical elements, including circumferential grooves, are designed to efficiently evacuate water.

SUMMER/CORNERING GRIP - Ribs and larger blocks on the outside of the tread maximize tire and road contact for optimal dry grip.

Two continuous circumferential ribs ensure maximum rubber contact with the road for enhanced grip.

Cross supporting tread blocks work together as one continuous block when cornering to maintain superior traction as the vehicleâ€™s weight is transferred to the outside of the tire.

Random pitch variation cancels out unwanted frequency noise.

Asymmetrical pitch variation reduces amplification of pattern noise by having different patterns inside and outside.

â€œNo compromiseâ€ compound provides long mileage and high traction.

Adaptive sipes increase block rigidity for longer, more even wear.

UTQG 700/A/B for T, UTQG 520/A/A for H â€“ among the highest in its class.
