Yokohama Tire Corporation is adding a new tire to its popular AVID line: the AVID Touring-S™. The tire will be available in tire stores across the U.S. in the fall of 2008. Highlights of the AVID Touring-S include a twin stability rib for better handling and reduced noise; luxury sidewall construction that utilizes a hard rubber insert to help absorb bumps and vibrations; tapered rain channels that accelerate water into the outer grooves for optimal wet traction; cross traction sipes that improve handling in adverse conditions; and a tri-plex compound for increased tread life and traction on slick surfaces.
