285/35/19 TYRE Yokohama AD09

Product introduction

The road-approved Yokohama AD09 tyre in size 285/35 R19 103W XL is a high-performance semi-slick intended for sports vehicles, demanding road builds and occasional track outings. Drawing on Yokohama’s competition experience, it offers an excellent balance of grip, driving precision and legal use on public roads.

Part function

The tyre provides the direct link between vehicle and road. It transmits acceleration, braking and steering forces while ensuring traction, stability and dynamic vehicle behaviour. On a sports car, a semi-slick such as the Yokohama AD09 enables more effective use of the chassis, brakes and engine power, particularly during dynamic driving or on track.

Symptoms or consequences of a worn or faulty tyre

• Loss of grip under acceleration, braking or cornering.
• Longer braking distances, particularly on wet roads.
• Less precise steering response.
• Uneven wear that may indicate incorrect alignment, pressure or a suspension fault.
• Vibrations, abnormal noise or a feeling of instability at high speed.
• Increased risk of aquaplaning when tread depth becomes insufficient.

Benefits of replacement

• Improved grip and traction on dry roads.
• Improved driving precision for sporting use.
• More stable handling under heavy braking and during changes of direction.
• Optimised use of vehicle performance.
• Road-approved tyre, suitable for road use in accordance with manufacturer-specified sizes.
• Reinforced XL load rating, suitable for powerful vehicles or those subject to high dynamic loads.
