A Journey Along the Pacific Coast Highway with Yokohama AVID Tires
The Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) isn’t just a road—it’s an adventure. This legendary stretch of pavement, winding along California’s coastline, offers some of the most spectacular views and driving experiences in the world. From the rugged cliffs of Big Sur to the urban charm of Santa Monica, PCH demands a tire that can handle its diverse challenges while maximizing comfort. That’s where Yokohama’s AVID tire series comes in.
Let’s take a ride along this iconic route and see why AVID tires are the perfect match for this unforgettable journey.
The Beauty and Challenge of the Pacific Coast Highway
Picture yourself behind the wheel, the ocean sparkling to your right as you navigate winding roads carved into rocky cliffs. PCH is a blend of everything drivers crave—thrilling curves, open straights, and jaw-dropping views.
But with beauty comes complexity:
- Twisting Turns in Big Sur: Sharp bends and steep inclines demand precise handling and strong traction.
- Ocean Breezes and Fog: Coastal weather conditions can change quickly, affecting visibility and road grip.
- Stop-and-Go in City Sections: Urban areas like Malibu and Santa Monica require smooth braking and steady acceleration.
PCH is not just a drive—it’s an experience that tests your vehicle and your tires.

- Eco-Friendly Efficiency: With low rolling resistance, AVID tires help optimize fuel economy, letting you focus on the scenery—not the gas gauge.

A Drive to Remember

As you approach Big Sur, the road narrows, the cliffs steepen, and the views grow more dramatic. The AVID tires handle the twists and inclines with ease, gripping the pavement as you take in the sights.
By sunset, you’re cruising into Malibu, the tires’ quiet ride matching the serenity of the Pacific waves lapping the shore. It’s not just a drive—it’s a journey made unforgettable by the performance of your tires.
