• Multi-dimensional tread design

             The design for the tread pattern of the S.drive is a result of YOKOHAMA’s advanced simulation technology. The innovative Variable Angled

             Groove that optimizes tread contact with the road provides dramatically enhanced traction on cornering.
YOKOHAMA’s Groove-in-Groove design has resulted in a major advance in the battle to eliminate uneven tire wear because it allows the

             pattern block to effectively distribute stress loads even during tight cornering.

•  Advanced micro flexible compound

 To cope with constantly changing contact conditions in a very proactive manner, YOKOHAMA has developed, through its inhouse technological

             skills, a new Micro Flexible Compound that is responsive to undulations in the road surface at the nano level.
In comparison with the original MF compounds, the addition of extra silica has further enhanced driving in the wet, while extra polymer has

             improved performance in the dry.
