The Yokohama ADVAN Apex V601 is a high-performance tire designed for sports cars, performance sedans, and sporty coupes. It is created with the knowledge gained from years of innovation in performance tires. The tire is specifically designed to offer excellent grip and precise handling in warm and wet conditions. It should not be used in freezing temperatures, on ice, or in snowy conditions. The tire's tread compound is made from a high-grade micro silica material and is molded into an asymmetric pattern. This pattern helps reduce noise levels, resulting in a quieter ride. The rounded rib profile ensures even contact pressure with the road, reducing uneven tread wear. The wide outboard rib has very little space between the tread blocks, providing maximum lateral grip. The solid center rib maintains constant contact with the road, enhancing stability and handling at high speeds. The narrow outer groove helps dissipate heat during aggressive cornering, and the three inside circumferential grooves effectively disperse water to prevent hydroplaning. The ADVAN Apex V601 tire has a single-ply, rayon casing with a high turn-up, creating a two-ply sidewall. This construction improves lateral stability and overall handling. The tread is supported by two wide steel belts, which are further reinforced by two spirally wound nylon cap plies. Please note that if the tire is exposed to temperatures below 20 degrees Fahrenheit (-7 degrees Celsius), it must be allowed to gradually warm up to at least 40 degrees Fahrenheit (5 degrees Celsius) for a minimum of 24 hours before any adjustments or mounting on wheels. Using the tire in cold weather can cause irreversible compound cracking, which is not covered by warranty and requires tire replacement.
