Maybe you know that UHP tires are special tires undergoing extreme speed tests that can clock a whopping speed up to 186 mph and more. A representative model for this category from Yokohma's lineup is ADVAN Sport A/S+. It is the best all season UHP tire designed especially to show performance in terms of traction, grip, and steering at high speeds.
Firstly, Yokohama ADVAN Sport A/S+ features an innovative HS-2 tread compound that represents high grade silica and advanced polymers. As a result, this model shows a short braking distance in wet and wintry conditions. It is shaped into an optimized and asymmetrical tread pattern. Z-shaped grooves and wavy sipes offer extra biting edges for increased traction in wet and winter conditions. In addition, extra large shoulder blocks improve cornering performance, while optimized sidewall construction delivers responsive handling and dynamic steering fell.
Secondly, engineers use four pitch variations to improve road noise for a more comfortable, quieter ride even at high speeds. A flatter contour profile delivers the best weight distribution for correct wear and more miles. The ADVAN Sport A/S+ is available in a wide range of sizes around 65 sizes. These start from 16 to 21-inch rim diameters, with XL and SL load index. Moreover, this model is the best UHP tire option for many passenger cars like Volvo S90, Tesla Model S, Mercedes-Benz S-class, and BMW 7 series.
