Yokohama AVID Ascend GT - The "Better" Package
Price is for all 4 with FREE* Freight!
If you're running a 205/60R15 setup on a Porsche 924, you’re likely looking for a tire that respects the car’s balanced transaxle handling while being practical enough for more than just fair-weather Sundays. The Yokohama AVID Ascend GT is a grand touring tire that prioritizes a refined, quiet ride and long-term durability over raw track grip. It’s part of Yokohama’s "BluEarth" line, which is their way of saying the tire is engineered for better efficiency and less environmental impact, but for the driver, the real value is its ability to stay predictable whether the pavement is dry, soaked, or even caught in a light dusting of snow.
The engineering here focuses on a stable contact patch that keeps the car tracking straight without the "darty" feel or loud highway hum often found in more aggressive rubber. Yokohama used a "TriBLEND" compound—essentially a high-silica mix—that stays pliable when the temperature drops, which is key for maintaining traction in cold or slushy conditions. The asymmetric tread pattern isn't just for show; it uses staggered grooves and open inner shoulders to effectively "pump" water away from the footprint, keeping the car planted and reducing that nervous feeling when you hit a deep puddle at speed.
Inside the tire, a polyester casing and twin steel belts are reinforced with a full nylon cover. For a light, communicative car like the 924, this internal structure is great because it helps the tire resist "rolling over" or deflecting during cornering, which preserves that characteristic Porsche steering feel. It’s a pragmatic, sophisticated choice for the owner who wants to enjoy their classic on a long weekend trip or a daily commute without sacrificing ride quality or constantly worrying about how much tread life is left. It’s a modern, all-season solution that keeps the drive stress-free.
