The Yokohama ADVAN A055 is a track and competition tire designed for drivers seeking maximum performance on closed circuits. It is built for the demands of circuit driving, delivering exceptional dry grip, stability, and predictable handling to help lower lap times. This tire is not intended for public road use.
The ADVAN A055 utilizes an advanced motorsport compound to provide outstanding dry grip for extreme cornering, braking, and acceleration.

The profile contour is designed to deliver consistent contact with the track surface, ensuring predictable handling during transitions from straight-line sprints to high-speed cornering.
The tire's construction incorporates features to enhance cornering stiffness and overall handling. The optimized tread depth and design eliminate the need for shaving, making it ready for sanctioned racing categories requiring a DOT-approved tire. Compared to other tires in its class, the ADVAN A055 is known for its exceptional steering feel and balanced handling characteristics. While it may not always offer the absolute maximum grip compared to some competitors, its predictable nature allows drivers to confidently push their limits.
