190/58/15 tyre Yokohama A005

Product introduction

The Yokohama A005 tyre in size 190/58/15 is a slick circuit intended for sports and competition use on dry tracks. From the Yokohama racing range, it is aimed at drivers looking for a high-performance, precise and consistent tyre during circuit sessions, private tests, advanced trackdays or timed events.

Purpose of the part

The slick tyre provides the direct connection between the vehicle and the track. Unlike a grooved road tyre, its smooth tread maximizes the contact surface with the ground in order to optimize grip, traction, braking and support stability. The Yokohama A005 is designed to operate at temperature on dry surfaces, with a high level of grip and excellent driving precision.

Symptoms or consequences of a worn or unsuitable tire

• Loss of grip during acceleration, braking, or cornering.
• Extension of braking distances on track.
• Unstable behavior of the vehicle when leaning or at high speed.
• Irregular degradation of the compound linked to poor adjustment of pressure, geometry or operating temperature.
• Decrease in timing performance and driving experience.

Benefits of replacement

• Improved grip on dry tracks.
• Better trajectory precision and feedback while driving.
• optimised traction when exiting corners.
• More efficient and more stable braking at high demands.
• More consistent behavior during track sessions when the compound is used in its correct temperature range.
