Yokohama ADVAN Sport

The ADVAN Sport is Yokohama's Max Performance Summer tire developed for some of the world's most prestigious sports cars, sports coupes and high performance sedans. The ADVAN Sport in the 275/35ZR20 size has been chosen as the exclusive Original Equipment (O.E.) tire for the Bentley Motors Continental GT equipped with the Mulliner Driving Package, the world's fastest four-seater coupe in 2005 with the maximum speed of 197 mph (318 km/h). The ADVAN Sport is designed to achieve both ultra high speeds and a high level of comfort and traction. Like all summer tires, the ADVAN Sport is not intended to be driven in near-freezing temperatures, through snow or on ice. The tire's structure includes a silica blend tread compound developed specifically for the ADVAN Sport provides grip that's less affected by extreme low or high temperatures. The compound is molded into an asymmetric tread pattern featuring five main ribs including a massive, outer shoulder zone to blend handling with ride and noise comfort. Four wide, circumferential grooves help water flow through the footprint to resist hydroplaning. On the inside, a tire structure designed specifically for the ADVAN Sport, offers durability in the ultra high speed zone of over 186 mph (300 km/h) with two wide steel belts reinforced by spirally wound nylon cap plies providing strength and uniform ride quality, while the sidewalls are tuned to resist lateral deflection to provide predictable handling.
