Yokohama AVID W4S

The AVID W4s radial is Yokohama’s Ultra High Performance All-Season tire designed to take everyday driving to a new level of comfort and confidence. The AVID W4s radial was developed to provide sporty cars, coupes and sedans with good treadwear, responsive handling and year-round traction, even in light snow. Yokohama developed an all-new tread compound for the AVID W4s radials that delivers grip on dry, wet and snow-covered roads while setting new levels of treadwear for W-speed rated performance tires at Yokohama. This new tread compound is molded into a computer-optimized directional tread design that combines large independent shoulder blocks and intermediate blocks with a solid center rib to enhance straight line tracking and high-speed stability on dry roads. Four wide circumferential grooves and multiple cross grooves effectively evacuate water for hydroplaning resistance while slightly offset tread blocks further enhance light snow traction. The tire's structure includes twin, high-tensile steel belts reinforced by nylon to provide responsive handling and high-speed durability.
