Yokohama Avid ENVigor ZPS All-Season Run-Flat Tire
Meet the Yokohama Avid ENVigor ZPS, an all-season performance run-flat built to keep you moving. Reinforced sidewalls maintain short-term mobility after a puncture, and the tire delivers composed handling, confident braking, and everyday comfort. An advanced compound and extensive siping support traction in changing weather, while wide grooves clear water to help resist hydroplaning. If you want run-flat convenience with the feel of a performance tire, the Avid ENVigor ZPS fits your daily routine.
Key Features & Benefits
The Yokohama Avid ENVigor ZPS pairs run-flat convenience with year-round confidence. Reinforced sidewalls support the vehicle after a loss of air pressure. An all-season compound and dense siping aid grip in wet, dry, and cool conditions, while the asymmetric tread pattern promotes responsive steering and even wear. Multi-channel grooves move water away to reduce hydroplaning, so you get everyday comfort with the crisp road feel drivers expect from a performance-minded all-season run-flat.
Real-World Performance
On dry pavement, the Avid ENVigor ZPS tracks steadily through corners and brakes predictably, which keeps commutes and highway miles relaxed. In rain, wide circumferential grooves and lateral channels evacuate water to support control. The cold-weather compound and abundant siping help in cool temps and light snow, but dedicated winter tires are still the right call for severe snow or ice. As with most run-flats, the ride can be firmer than standard touring tires, though many drivers appreciate the added security and precise steering.
Run-Flat Mobility (ZPS) Explained
ZPS stands for Zero Pressure System, Yokohama's run-flat technology. Under the right conditions, the Avid ENVigor ZPS can typically be driven up to 50 miles at speeds up to 50 mph after a complete loss of air, helping you reach a safe stop or service. Always follow vehicle and tire manufacturer guidance, watch TPMS alerts, and avoid heavy loads when driving on a deflated tire. Have the tire inspected as soon as possible, since repair or replacement will depend on the damage and distance traveled.
Sizes, Fitment & Specs
The Avid ENVigor ZPS comes in popular passenger-car fitments, including 195/55R16, 225/55R17, and select 18 inch options for sporty sedans and coupes. Speed and load ratings vary by size, so match the specification on your driver's door-jamb label or owner manual. Choose load and speed ratings equal to or greater than OE. If you are upgrading wheels, consult a fitment expert to confirm clearance, speedometer impact, and TPMS setup.
Installation & Maintenance Tips
Have run-flat tires mounted at a shop equipped for reinforced sidewalls and TPMS service. After installation, request a four-wheel alignment to protect tread life and handling, and rotate every 5,000 to 7,500 miles, or per your vehicle schedule, to maintain even wear. Maintain the recommended cold inflation pressure on your door-jamb label and check monthly, since run-flats can mask low-pressure feel. If a tire has been driven at zero pressure, limit speed and distance and see a professional right away to assess repair or replacement.
Pricing, Warranty & Value
Pricing for the Yokohama Avid ENVigor ZPS varies by size and spec. Run-flat construction usually costs more than standard tires, but many drivers value the convenience and mobility after a puncture. Warranty coverage generally includes limited materials and workmanship, and treadwear coverage may vary by size and speed rating.

Reviews & What Drivers Say
Shoppers often highlight the Avid ENVigor ZPS for composed wet-road manners and predictable dry handling. Many like the confidence of run-flat capability without a big tradeoff in day-to-day comfort, while noting that a dedicated winter tire is still best for prolonged freezing conditions. Light-snow traction is serviceable for an all-season, but deep snow and ice call for winter rubber. As with most run-flats, some drivers note a firmer ride than non run-flat touring tires, yet overall it is a balanced pick for security, stability, and year-round versatility.
Compare With Other All-Season Options
Compared with standard touring all-season tires, the Avid ENVigor ZPS adds run-flat mobility at the cost of a slightly firmer ride and typically higher price. Against other all-season run-flats, it leans toward balanced wet and dry traction and everyday comfort rather than extreme performance. If you do not need run-flat capability, a conventional touring tire may provide a softer ride and lower cost. If you prioritize spirited handling, consider performance-focused run-flat options in the same size and rating.
