250/640/18 tyre Yokohama A005

Product introduction

The Yokohama A005 tyre in size 250/640/18 is a slick tyre intended for circuit and competition use. From the Slick Circuit range, it is designed to offer a high level of grip on dry tracks, with a Medium compound suitable for sports sessions, track days and automobile events requiring performance, precision and consistency.

Purpose of the part

The slick tyre provides the direct connection between the vehicle and the track. Unlike a sculpted road tyre, its smooth tread maximizes the contact surface with the ground in order to optimize traction, braking and lateral support when cornering. The Yokohama A005 Medium allows power to be efficiently transmitted to the ground while maintaining a good balance between grip, endurance and thermal stability.

Signs or consequences of a worn or defective tyre

• Loss of grip during acceleration, braking, or while cornering.
• Less regular lap times and less precise vehicle behavior.
• Irregular wear of the tread or appearance of flat spots.
• Decreased stability at high speeds.
• Increased risk of overheating, delamination or loss of performance under heavy use.

Benefits of replacement

• Restoration of an optimal level of grip on dry tracks.
• Better driving precision when entering, middle and exiting corners.
• Improved traction and braking distances.
• More consistent behavior over several laps depending on the conditions of use.
• Medium compound offering a good compromise between pure performance and operating life.
