225/45R18 Yokohama Avid Ascend GT – All Season

Category: All Season – Grand Touring

The Yokohama AVID Ascend GT is an all-season Grand Touring tire designed with an asymmetric tread pattern and all-new rubber compound to provide improved handling and wet braking capability. It has hundreds of sipes for increased wet and snowy weather traction along with an ultra square contact patch for long tread life. The AVID Ascend GT utilizes varying multi-pitch tread blocks for a quieter and more comfortable ride and performs well all year long. It also has a 105,000km tread life warranty for all sizes.

XL (Extra Load) rating supports higher inflation pressure and carrying capacity than standard load tires.

What these tire specs mean

  • Load Index 95 is the tire’s standardized carrying capacity, supporting up to 690 kg per tire. Use it to confirm the tire meets or exceeds the load rating listed on your vehicle placard.
  • Speed Rating V indicates the tire’s maximum sustained speed capability under proper load and inflation. This is approximately 240 km/h under proper load and inflation.
  • UTQG 740 A A is the manufacturer treadwear, traction, and temperature grading system. It is useful for comparing tires from the same brand, but it should not be treated as an exact mileage promise.
  • All Season tires are made for mild year round driving, but they generally do not meet Quebec winter tire requirements unless they also carry 3PMS.
  • XL means Extra Load. These tires are designed to carry higher loads at higher inflation pressures than a standard load tire in the same size, which matters for heavier vehicles, loaded vehicles, or factory fitments that require XL.
  • Vehicle Type helps identify whether the tire is intended for passenger, light truck, commercial, or similar service categories.
  • Warranty coverage is manufacturer backed and depends on normal use, proper maintenance, rotation, inflation, and alignment conditions.
