AVID Ascend GT

Why Install Yokohama AVID Ascend GT?

The AVID Ascend GT is a Yokohama Grand Touring all-season tire designed for drivers of sedans, coupes, crossovers and minivans who want a refined ride and noise comfort combined with a long life and confident all-season traction. The AVID Ascend GT is designed to deliver grip in dry, wet and winter conditions, including light snow. Yokohama BluEarth branding is used to identify an environmentally friendly series of tires designed to provide environmentally, humane and socially sound solutions for drivers and their vehicles.

The asymmetric pattern of the AVID Ascend GT helps to optimize grip in all weather conditions, and the tread profile is specifically designed to create a stable contact patch for improved traction and wear. Tread pitch variation and Outside Adaptive Shoulder Blocks are designed to focus on noise attenuation for a quiet driving experience. Four deep, circumferential grooves use asymmetric widths to help standing water evacuation through the footprint, while the inside of the shoulder features open notches to allow water to pass through. Yokohama's TriBLEND Compound Technology all-season compound uses low-Tg polymer and high silica content for grip inclement weather, and the Triple 3-D Sipes and tread blocks create the biting edges needed for light snow traction.

Internally, the polyester casing helps to ride comfort and supports two wide steel belts. A full nylon cover works with a square profile shape to help with deflection under cornering loads for more controlled, predictable handling in dry and wet conditions while also providing high-speed capability.
