Yokohama's New ADVAN Sport ZPS (Zero Pressure System) Runflat Tire
Abstract:
Yokohama's latest nanotechnology tread compound offers additional grip from the outside as well. It bonds super-fine, high-grade silica and polymers at the molecular level to increase flexibility, durability and contact area by approximately 10 percent for better wet and dry traction at an array of temperatures. Variable round grooves - cut in circular shapes at different widths and angles - prevent one-sided abrasion. Additionally, four wide circumferential grooves quickly evacuate water for enhanced wet traction and a groove-in-groove configuration controls stress to improve handling and promote even wear.
