Yokohama is proud to be the official tyre supplier to the Yokohama V8 Utes Racing Series and the Aussie Racing Car Series. As well as sponsoring these events, Yokohama is also the naming rights sponsor of the Yokohama F4000 Australian Championship Series. While Yokohama supplies product suitable for rally competition and slicks and wets for circuit racing, the most popular tyre in our range is the treaded R-spec A048.
Advances in technology and development of both vehicles and tyres have resulted in Yokohama's tyre offering for the serious circuit racer and tarmac rally specialist alike. The entire tread surface of the A048 is one continuous block design. This new concept offers far greater rigidity, and results in extra cornering, braking and acceleration potential. The shaped tread surface also provides greater straight line stability and increased levels of steering torque, delivering higher confidence back to the driver. The round casing tread design emulates the latest slick tyre technology, ensuring maximum change of direction capabilities with sure-footed handling. Combined with compounding developments to withstand higher grip levels in extreme conditions, the A048 is a true winner. Whilst ideally suited for Targa type road events, club sprints, lap dash events, and circuit racing, we also have many customers who purchase this pattern for club level events such as Supersprints, Motorkanas and Hillclimbs. This is why the A048 is the largest selling and most favoured R-spec tyre in Australian Motor sport. The A048 is the selected control tyre for the following racing categories of Motor Racing within Australia: -
