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 tyre wear because it allows the pattern block to
effectively distribute stress loads even during tight cornering.

This ‘High-Style‘ tyre is the perfect fit for cars ranging from the compact
class to sporty roadsters. This attractive line-up of tyres will be of
particular interest to drivers who like to customize their cars. Available
in this range are ‘High Inch‘ narrow width tyres that are ideal for
slender wheel-housings. Moreover, in tandem with the advances in car
performance and as a plus for enthusiasts who like to tune their vehicles,
select tyres in this new range are well-suited to speeds up to the iconic
Y-range (up to 300km/h).
