new tire choice for 16/17

[nsxhk]

Just FYI....
For those who like to run stickier tires on their 16/17 rims, there is now an additional tire choice

These are R compound tires and they stick like glue on street or on track. I'm currently running 225/45/16 and 255/40/17 and they're great! Tire noise is comparable to normal street tires and the TCS doesn't light up. They greatly increase the cornering limit of our nsx and increse the fun factor exponentially!

If your local yoko dealer cannot get them, let me know and maybe I can order them for you.

Link doesn't seem too work.

Agree that the link doesn't work.

Also curious to know if these are available in 17/18"-ers.

Regards.

Other than the A032R, I didn't think Yokohama made its other R compound tires (like the A038R or A048R) available in the United States...

Hmmm....

Try this:

then click on the first link on the upper left and then choose 'for competition' on the right.

That should work

They're not shown on the website for Yokohama U.S. at http://www.yokohamatire.com

No... they're not shown on the US website, so I don't think you can buy them thru your local yoko dealers and that's why I offered my assistance

Oh! Gotcha.

Thanks, Henry.
