The ADVAN A032R is Yokohama's DOT-legal competition tire that was developed for drivers who participate in autocross competition, as well as track schools, lapping days and racing events

Many sizes of the ADVAN A032R are available with both S (soft) and H (hard) high-grip tread compounds. This is intended to allow the driver to match the tread compound's capabilities to the weight and horsepower of their vehicle, as well as to the track and weather conditions in which they will be running. Heavy vehicles, high horsepower, demanding tracks and warm ambient temperatures will probably require the use of H compound tires while light vehicles, low horsepower, less stressful tracks and cooler ambient temperatures may allow the use of the S compound tires
