The ADVAN A048 is Yokohama's DOT-Legal
Competition tire designed for the drivers of vehicles who
participate in autocross competition, track schools, lapping days
& circuit-type club racing. The ADVAN A048 was developed from
Yokohama racing technology for applications that include the 18-inch
rim diameter fitments used on the Porsche 911, Porsche 911 Turbo,
Porsche Boxster & others.
On the outside, the ADVAN A048 molds
a race-ready compound that provides dry grip over a wide range of
temperatures into a 6/32-inch deep, "single block" tread design that
increases tread stiffness & features a wide center area that stays
in continuous contact with the track to enhance cornering stability,
on-center feel & steering response. As the tire's outer shoulder
tread wears from hard cornering, the ADVAN A048's directional tread
design & symmetric internal construction allows worn tires to be
remounted "inside-out" on their wheels to help prolong their life.
We suggest shaving ADVAN A048 tires to between 3/32" to 4/32" of
tread depth for competitive road racing.
On the inside, the ADVAN A048
features twin steel belts that are reinforced with spirally wrapped
nylon cap plies & belt edge strips. The belt package is placed on
top of a rounded casing design that allows the tire to predictably
handle transitions from straight-line travel to high g-force
cornering & back.
Yokohama ADVAN A048 tires feature
sidewall styling with subtle black letters. They are available in
selected 40-, 35- & 30-series, Y-speed rated sizes for 18"
diameter wheels.
