Yokohama A032R
The ADVAN A032R is Yokohama's DOT-legal
competition tire that was developed for drivers who participate in
autocross competition, as well as track schools, lapping days &
racing events.
Many sizes of the ADVAN A032R are
available with both S (soft) & H (hard) high-grip tread compounds.
This is intended to allow the driver to match the tread compound's
capabilities to the weight & horsepower of their vehicle, as well
as to the track & weather conditions in which they will be
running. Heavy vehicles, high horsepower, demanding tracks & warm
ambient temperatures will probably require the use of H compound
tires while light vehicles, low horsepower, less stressful tracks
& cooler ambient temperatures may allow the use of the S compound
tires.
The H compound tires are also well
suited to drivers who want long-lasting tires to take them through
multiple driving schools and/or lapping days. If in doubt, we
recommend that the driver test the two compounds in order to
identify which is best for their use.
On the outside the ADVAN A032R uses a
symmetric directional tread design featuring massive tread blocks.
Yokohama's Aqua Tusk tread grooves enhance water evacuation to
develop wet traction during wet track or competition conditions.
The symmetric directional tread
design is molded with 6/32" deep original tread depth & can be run
at full tread depth for autocross competition. We suggest shaving
ADVAN A032R tires to between 3/32" to 4/32" of tread depth for
competitive road racing. As the tire's outer shoulder tread wears
from hard cornering, the ADVAN A032R's directional tread design &
symmetric internal construction allows worn tires to be remounted
"inside-out" on their wheels to help prolong their life.
On the inside, the ADVAN A032R
features twin steel belts reinforced by nylon cap plies to stabilize
the tread & stiff sidewall reinforcements to provide responsive
cornering & high speed stability.
Yokohama ADVAN A032R tires feature
sidewall styling with subtle black letters. They are available in
selected 60-, 55-, 50-, 45-, 40- & 35-series, H-, V- or Z-speed
rated sizes for 13", 14" 15", 16" & 17" wheel diameters.
