The successor to the Yokohama ADVAN A048, the new ADVAN A052 is the ultimate semi-slick tyre approved for road use. With a tread inspired by tarmac rally tyres, this tyre has better cornering performance as well as highly superior grip and handling whatever the weather conditions. The ADVAN A052 tyre admirably fulfils all applicable European noise regulations (R117-02).

These tyres offer very good performance, both for sporting competitions and on public roads.
For semi-slicks, they are excellent at low temperatures on wet roads (5 °C at night). The tyre has a stiff sidewall, very good steering response, grips like crazy, but is very, very expensive considering its relatively high wear.
Top-quality tyres, well packaged and delivered quickly!
Truly excellent tyres both on the road and on the track; they behave like semi-slicks. As soon as they reach temperature they offer outstanding grip, both when cornering and under acceleration. They are great on damp asphalt, less good in heavy rain. In summer, when it is very hot, I only use them on the road, not on the track. For me they are excellent tyres. 🔝
A052: An excellent semi-slick tyre on dry roads, versatile in the wet (but prone to aquaplaning if water accumulates on the road) and usable when cold – no need to bring it up to temperature. Rapid wear in high ambient temperatures. In comparison, it is superior to a Nankang AR-1 but inferior to the Nankang CR-S; the Toyo R888 is also inferior. Used on the Nürburgring circuit.
All good.
Recent DOT, excellent grip on dry ground even when cold! Very good on wet roads but be careful on waterlogged roads! Tyre gives warning before losing grip, no squealing, stiff sidewall... pure joy. Rapid wear but consistent for soft tyres.
The worthy successor, very sticky, directional, perfect. Once warm, it retains its characteristics even if a bit wet.
Tyres arrived in just a few days and with a very recent DOT. Very good price.
OK
