Yokohama Avid Ascend Tire review-Lets get started.

Its new technology( use of orange oil )has made Yokohama Avid Ascend GT Tire an excellent overall all-season tire. It also comes with increased dry road surface traction and cornering grip because of the larger tread blocks on the outside shoulders and the Interlocking Tapered Center Rib. Moreover, they harmonize to add responsive steering and greater stability throughout the speed range.

To add further, the Tread Block Bridges of this Avid Ascend tire increase the tire’s stability and help reduce the tread noise. The multi-pitch tread design eliminates further noise and makes for a much quieter ride.

Yokohama AVID Ascend GT Tire’s four deep cross & circumferential grooves, along with adaptive 3-D siping around the tread, increase traction and overall performance on wet or snow-covered surfaces.

Furthermore, the sipes biting edges also provide more grip on snow and ice. On the other hand, circumferential grooves drain more water from under the tread and reduce the risk of waterlogging or hydroplaning. And the result of this is more confidence driving in any rough weather.

Inside the Yokohama AVID Ascend GT tire, you will find two steel belts that are spirally wrapped with nylon for added reinforcement and improved durability. Meanwhile, sizes ranging from 15-19 inches are available and come with a T, H, or V-speed rating. Yokohama includes an 85,000-mile tread guarantee depending on the tire’s speed rating.
