245/35/20 Yokohama A052 tyre

Product introduction

The road-approved Yokohama A052 in size 245/35/20 is a high-performance semi-slick tyre for sports vehicles, track builds and drivers seeking very high dry-road grip and intensive track use. Developed for precise response and high grip, it particularly suits sporty driving enthusiasts, trackdays and dynamic driving.

The component’s role

The tyre provides direct contact between vehicle and road. It transmits acceleration, braking and steering forces, ensuring stability, traction and precise handling. On a sports vehicle, a semi-slick such as Yokohama A052 allows more effective use of chassis, braking and engine power through an optimised contact patch and performance-oriented compound.

Symptoms or consequences of a worn or defective tyre

• Loss of grip under acceleration, braking or cornering load.
• Longer braking distances.
• Reduced steering precision.
• Uneven wear may reveal incorrect alignment or pressure.
• Increased aquaplaning risk if tread depth is insufficient.
• Reduced track performance and less controlled heat build-up.

Benefits of replacement

• Clearly improved grip and traction.
• More precise handling in sporty driving.
• More effective braking through optimised grip.
• More stable cornering and prolonged cornering load behaviour.
• Warm-up suited to dynamic driving and trackdays.
