Review

Read a detailed review of each tire if you are still hesitating which option you should choose.

The A-008P is an Ultra High Performance Summer tire that revives an iconic name from Yokohama's storied past. Designed exclusively for Porsche sports cars, the A-008P marries classic looks and modern construction. Like all Ultra High Performance Summer tires, the A-008P is not intended to be serviced, stored, nor driven in near- and below-freezing temperatures, through snow or on ice.

The high-performance, dual layer compound of the A-008P is designed to provide high levels of traction and handling stability in both dry and wet conditions, while also providing resistance to heat and wear. The A-008P features an asymmetric construction and asymmetric tread pattern. The outboard shoulder has a square profile, with a dimpled, low-void pattern to deliver the lateral grip needed for high-speed cornering. The round profile of the inboard shoulder is designed to better maintain contact with the road and impart a sharper steering. Wide, straight ribs enhance on-center feel and improve traction for acceleration and braking. The wide, circumferential grooves evacuate water from the footprint for enhanced hydroplaning resistance, and the Semi-helical grooves drain water while cornering.

The two-ply, rayon casing of the A-008P supports two wide, steel belts and is reinforced with two full, jointless nylon covers to provide uniform rigidity in the tread area. High-density bead filler helps balance performance handling with comfort, and a steel reinforcement outside the bead filler helps the tire resist deformation under high cornering forces.

Treadwear Performance

N/A
N/A

Treadwear is vital to many things, not just how often the tires need replacement. Hydroplaning and wet weather are both critical factors that wear down your tire quickly. The warranty covers any defects in what you bought but only for a limited period or when there's minimal tread left on them.

Wet Perfomance

N/A
N/A

The wet performance score is a new thing that tire manufacturers are trying to achieve. The hydroplaning resistance, wet traction, and steering response all influence this new grading system.

Dry Perfomance

N/A
N/A

Tires with good dry performance should be able to perform smoothly and safely, even when cornering aggressively.

Comfort Perfomance

N/A
N/A

The comfort performance score is designed to measure the balance between ride quality and noise level.

Winter Performance

N/A
N/A

Winter Performance score helps us understand if the tire is the appropriate option for winter conditions that your vehicle will face. Dedicated winter tires provide a firm grip when driving through snow and on ice. Performance winter tires boast a higher speed rating and better handling but deliver modestly lower ice and snow traction.

Size
i

Tire size may be indicated in two formats:
– metric (P255/45R18 103H)
– high flotation (30x9.5 R15 104 F C)
In the metric system, P - stands for the passenger vehicles (LT - for Light Trucks, ST - Special Trailer) with a width of 255 millimeters, aspect ratio (sidewall height) equal to 45% of the tire height. R means it is radially constructed with a diameter of 18 inches. 103 denotes the tire's load index and H determines the speed rating.
In the high flotation system, the first number (30) is the overall diameter of the tire, the second number (9.5) is the width in inches.

Uniform Tire Quality Grade Standards (UTQG) were designed to offer consumers with useful information about the treadwear, traction, and temperature capabilities of their tires in order to make better decisions when purchasing new tires.

240 A A
Max. load
i

The maximum weight that a tire can carry is the greatest amount of weight it's designed to bear. Because load carrying capability is dependent on a tire's size and construction, as well as how much air pressure is actually utilized, maximum loads are measured with the tire inflated to an industry standard inflation pressure.

91 (1356 lbs)
Max. speed
i

The maximum speed that a tire with this type of tread can safely travel for an extended amount of time is indicated by the tire speed rating, which is usually shown by a letter or two.

P
Max inflation pressure
i

The highest "cold" inflation pressure that a tire is meant to contain is its maximum inflation pressure.

51 | 21
Tire weight
i

The tire weight is determined by the type and size of the tire. As the tread depth of the tire wears down over time, so does its weight.

21
Rim width range
i

Tires may be used on rims of varying widths while still fulfilling their intended function.

5.5-7.5""
Meas. rim width
i

The measuring rim width is the common industry minimum rim width at which a tire must be mounted to validate that it meets design specifications.

9/32""
Overall diam.
i

The overall diameter of a tire is the outer diameter of the tire, measured in the center of the tread. This measurement is made without any load placed on the tire and after it has been properly mounted on its industry-assigned measuring rim and inflated to its test pressure after 24 hours.

24.88
Revs.per mile
i

The revolutions per mile figure indicates the number of times a tire rotates during one mile's travel.
