Top 10 Yokohama Tires

A tire designed specifically for long-distance road trips. The tire is completely unsuitable for driving on mud, wet grass, and any other rough terrain. All its qualities are designed exclusively for asphalt pavement - on the track, the Yokohama Blue Arth tire is capable of much. Excellent road holding, in corners at a reasonable speed demonstrates stable behavior, is not afraid of meeting wet surfaces and puddles.

In the reviews, there are often negative comments that cast doubt on the comfort of these tires. Due to their negligible number, most likely, either an incorrect break-in takes place (and any tires for long and reliable operation must be trained), or the goods were stored in the seller’s warehouse for a long time without complying with established standards. Otherwise, the rubber is just excellent, against the background of similar products from popular brands, it has an affordable price, without losing to them in quality characteristics at all.

The size range of these low profile tires covers the most demanded market segment (from R15 to R18). Rubber is very hard, all the bumps and potholes in the road respond to the steering wheel. It has excellent braking distances, both on wet and dry pavement. It holds the road well, during high-speed turns, the moment of stalling into a skid is stretched and sensitive to the driver, which allows you to control this process by reducing speed.

In their reviews, the owners of Yokohama decibel tires express great satisfaction with the ride comfort - after warming up the tires at any car speed, acoustic noises are generated only by air flows cut against the body, silence from the side of the rubber. Among the shortcomings - getting into deep holes can lead to damage to the side of the edge of the disk, despite the reinforced sidewall (it all depends on the selected speed mode and driving style).

An excellent choice for owners of powerful crossovers who love speed.Despite the fact that the tire is quite heavy (R18 weighs 13.3 kg), it is easy to balance. Very rigid sidewall, almost no bending even under load. The directional tread provides good grip, better directional stability and handling forms a central solid rib. For all its rigidity, in the enlarged (due to the small transition angle of the lateral part) contact patch, the tire exhibits a sticking effect. This provides not only a short braking distance, but also a hold on corners, it stalls into a skid at high speeds.

In the reviews, the owners like the ability of the Advan ST V802 to hold the road confidently. Maneuvering at speed is very clear, without blockages (hard side part makes itself felt). The tires are reliable, painlessly overcome urban obstacles such as curbs. There is a slight noise of the tire. Off-road tires do not behave in the best way, after all, these are high-speed tires.

The Advan Fleva tire has a bright and memorable tread pattern (grooves resemble hooks or claws), which allows the wheel to unquestioningly obey the steering wheel on any road surface. Despite its pronounced characteristics of a sports tire, Yokohama Advan is also a very comfortable tire that has a low noise level from contact with the road.

These, of course, are not semi-slicks, but you won’t be able to ride them calmly - tires provoke aggressive driving with their confident behavior on the road. The reviews note the high strength and wear resistance of rubber. It has excellent resistance to lateral damage, has low rolling resistance, and a directional tread pattern and numerous drainage grooves allow you to ignore wet asphalt and puddles.

High-class rubber for powerful and expensive cars, developed in tandem with the Daimler concern and appeared on the market quite recently - in 2012. Fully meets the high requirements of owners, providing unsurpassed grip, speed and comfort performance.In their reviews, drivers note the excellent behavior of the car on the road - it does not “prowl” along the highway, confidently turns at high speed, and does not break into a skid. Puddles and sections of wet roads do not oblige you to slow down - the tires literally cut through the water barrier, and are not at all prone to hydroplaning.

Thanks to the Matrix Rayon Body Ply technology, the rubber is very sensitive to steering movements. Even on a dirt road (where would it be without it), the tire slips into slip only in heavy mud, but it does not burrow, and can overcome an obstacle when driving “in tightness”. Due to the high price on the market, sizes R17, R18 and above are more common, which are more in line with luxury cars.

This tire has proven itself on winter roads, providing safe driving regardless of the road surface.The main advantage of this line of Yokohama tires is a short braking distance, which is of great importance for a large and heavy car (rubber is designed for crossovers or SUVs, the main operation of which takes place in the city).

Reviews of drivers using Geolandar I / T-S G073 on their cars note good braking on ice, despite the absence of spikes. The disadvantage of the tire is a large roll of the car during high-speed turns (due to the soft sidewall), although on a winter road “recklessness” is useless. Despite the fact that the size range starts with R15, larger tires are more in demand on the domestic market, starting with R16 and above.

The use of orange oil in the rubber compound makes the tread surface more elastic, which ensures excellent traction - the tire literally sticks to the surface, completely displacing water or slush in the contact patch. For removal, oblique directional channels are used, the width of which allows the rubber to immediately self-clean. Good handling is ensured by a fairly wide central rib of the tread, which also has a diverse configuration.

The cross-shaped studs are surrounded by a special tread pattern reminiscent of turbine blades.Its purpose is to ensure high performance and prevent tooth loss (the stud does not protrude much above the tread, but due to the design it performs its function 100%) these tires themselves. There is also low noise during operation of the wheel.

This line of tires from the Japanese manufacturer was developed specifically for the conditions of the central part of the European mainland, where roads are often covered with ice crust or porridge of snow and ice mixed with water. The tread of the winter tire is designed in such a way that the rubber has excellent lateral cornering stability, regardless of road conditions. The drainage channels are quite wide, made at an angle and perfectly remove not only water, but also melting snow from the contact patch. Reliable grip ensures the ability of the tread of this tire to clean itself quickly.

In their reviews, the owners note the effectiveness of tires when braking in the realities of winter roads - this characteristic is largely provided by shoulder zones with self-locking sipes. The rubber also has excellent traction properties, is resistant to aquaplaning and effectively saves fuel due to the minimum amount of rolling resistance.

This line of tires is all-weather and can be successfully used in regions with mild winters on a year-round basis. Rubber has a number of advantages, providing both cross-country ability and good grip on asphalt. The aggressive tread pattern, despite the rather large depth, makes very little noise on the highway. The tire has an increased contact patch, which ensures even pressure on the tire, good grip. In addition, the thickness of the tire is significantly increased, which determines its resistance to damage, especially side damage.

Owners who have installed these tires on their cars (the most popular R16 - R18) in the reviews, as a rule, express satisfaction with the All-Terrain G015 line. They pay attention to good driving characteristics, both on asphalt and on rough terrain. The reverse side of the coin is rapid wear with an aggressive driving style.

This is one of the best all terrain tires in Yokohama.Despite the rather large weight, the rubber is well balanced (this is especially important for such large sizes as R17, R18). The feature of the self-cleaning tread provides confident patency on rough terrain, “rakes out” through mud, sand and wet grass (it is important to monitor the pressure in the cylinders). It behaves confidently on the track, wet asphalt, puddles do not affect grip even at high speeds. The tire is quite stiff, so there is increased acoustic noise at speed.

In their reviews, owners who have experienced the properties of A / T-S G012 in practice, as a rule, express satisfaction with their choice. The tire performs well in the conditions for which it is designed. Cars with all-wheel drive, in all-road conditions, are capable of much. With all-season use, tires behave well on a winter road, they do not tan in mild frosts, but it is better not to use them in regions with severe winters. It also has a high resistance to wear and punctures.
