The ADVAN S.T. is Yokohama's
Street/Sport Truck Summer tire developed to deliver a balance of
high-speed capability, handling & comfort required by
new-generation performance SUVs. The ADVAN S.T. is designed to add a
new dimension to SUV performance that boosts driving pleasure,
high-speed capability & traction on dry & wet roads. It is not
intended to be driven in snow.
On the outside, a silica blend tread
compound developed specifically for the ADVAN S.T. provides grip
that's less affected by extreme low or high temperatures. The tread
compound is molded into a W-shaped directional tread pattern that
uses a "5-pitch variation" tread block sequencing to provide agile
handling at high speed & reduce noise. Designed specifically for
the ADVAN S.T., the tire structure offers handling based on the
needs of the lower center of gravity specific to new-generation
performance SUVs & running stability in a high speed zone up to
186 mph (300 km/h) with two wide steel belts reinforced by spirally
wound nylon cap plies providing strength & uniform ride quality,
while the sidewalls are tuned to provide predictable handling.
