Advan A005 (Slick)

The Yokohama Advan A005 is a premium slick tire engineered for high-performance track and competition use. This tire caters to racing enthusiasts and professional drivers seeking maximum grip and predictable handling on dry circuits. It is designed to deliver exceptional performance in demanding environments like circuit racing and hill climbs.

The Advan A005 is known in motorsports for its forgiving nature regarding chassis setup and track conditions, making it suitable for a range of driver experience levels. Its consistent feedback and grip at increased slip angles allow for a high degree of vehicle control, even outside the optimal racing line. This predictability is a key characteristic that sets it apart from some competitors.

The A005 is available in multiple compounds, ranging from hard to super soft, to suit various track conditions and racing series requirements. Yokohama supports the A005 with continuous development, ensuring a definitive choice in compound and construction for all forms of motorsport. The tire's construction and compound technology are designed to provide optimal grip and durability throughout its competitive life. The A005 has a UTQG treadwear rating of 40, indicating a very soft compound optimized for maximum grip rather than longevity.

Yokohama has a strong presence in motorsports, including IMSA GT3, World Touring Car Championship, and the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb, demonstrating their commitment to high-performance tire technology. The Advan A005 has been used in various racing series, including TCR (formerly WTCC).
