The Story
Yokohama Advan A052 - The "Best" Package
Price is for all 4 with FREE* Freight!
The Yokohama ADVAN A052 is effectively a track-day weapon that just happens to be street-legal. As Yokohama's premier DOT-approved "Extreme Performance" tire, it’s built specifically for drivers who split their time between the street and the high-stress environments of autocross, open track events, and performance driving schools.
Engineered for Maximum Lateral Grip
The A052 doesn't just look aggressive; it uses Yokohama’s MS Compound—a high-grip material born from their motorsport division—molded into an asymmetric, low-void tread pattern.
-
The Power of the Shoulder: An oversized outboard shoulder provides a massive contact patch, ensuring stability during high-G cornering.
-
Track Consistency: To prevent performance "greasiness" during long sessions, the outboard micro-grooves feature notches designed to dissipate heat and maintain structural integrity.
-
Precision Footprint: A rounded tread profile ensures that pressure is distributed evenly across the tire, maximizing every square inch of rubber on the pavement.
-
Wet-Weather Contingency: While track-focused, it includes two deep circumferential grooves and a notched inboard shoulder to help channel water and provide a safety net against hydroplaning.
Competition-Grade Construction
The internal "skeleton" of the A052 is designed to handle the immense loads of high-speed track use without deforming:
| Component | Function |
| Two-Ply Nylon Casing | Provides the foundation for a responsive, tactile steering feel. |
| Wide Steel Belts | Supports the tread for a stable and predictable footprint. |
| Spirally-Wound Nylon Plies | Doubled up for high-speed durability and razor-sharp turn-in. |
**Please note** The high-performance MS Compound is a "warm-weather specialist." When the temperature drops, the rubber undergoes a physical change that can lead to permanent damage. Do not use, move, or store these tires in temperatures below 14F/10C. At these temperatures, the compound becomes brittle. Flexing the tire (even just checking the air pressure or rolling the car) can cause the rubber to crack, leading to tire failure and voiding your warranty. This is a dedicated summer tire—it has no place on snow or ice.
*FREE Freight offers is for the Continental United States Only.
