210/610/17 Yokohama A005 tyre

Product introduction

The Yokohama A005 210/610/17 is a circuit slick tyre for sporty use on dry tracks. From Yokohama’s competition range, it suits drivers seeking high grip, precision and consistency in sessions, private testing, trackdays or racing.

The component’s role

The slick tyre connects vehicle and track directly. Its tread without grooves maximises the contact patch to optimise traction, braking, stability under cornering load and line precision. Yokohama A005 operates at high temperature and provides effective grip on dry asphalt.

Symptoms or consequences of a worn or defective component

• Loss of grip under acceleration, braking or cornering.
• Longer braking distances on track.
• Less precise front- or rear-axle response.
• Uneven wear may cause vibrations or degraded steering feedback.
• Reduced lap performance and difficulty maintaining a consistent pace.
• Greater risk of losing grip if the compound is too worn, overheated or unsuitable for track conditions.

Benefits of replacement

• Restores optimum grip on dry circuits.
• Improves traction on corner exit.
• Increases stability under heavy braking.
• Optimises driving precision and chassis response.
• Allows vehicle handling to be adjusted through Hard, Medium or Soft compound choice.
• Contributes to more consistent track performance.
