190/56/15 tyre Yokohama A005

Yokohama A005 190/56/15 Slick Circuit Hard / Medium compound

The Yokohama A005 in size 190/56/15 is a slick tyre intended for use on circuits and in competition. From the Slick Circuit Yokohama range, it is designed to offer maximum contact surface with the track, excellent traction and great steering precision in dry conditions.

Purpose of the part

The slick tyre ensures the direct connection between the vehicle and the asphalt. Unlike a grooved road tyre, its smooth tread optimises grip on dry tracks, improves cornering support, braking stability and traction when exiting curves. The Hard/Medium compound offers an interesting compromise between performance, wear resistance and consistency over extended stints.

• Loss of grip when accelerating, braking or supporting
• Deterioration of times and lack of regularity on track
• Uneven tread wear
• Overheating of the tyre in the event of unsuitable pressure or compound
• Unstable vehicle behavior in rapid sequences
• Increased risk of puncture or loss of performance at end of life

Benefits of replacement

• Improved grip on dry tracks
• Better steering precision and steering feel
• optimised traction when exiting corners
