/Sounds like "YAHN" (as in "yard") + "tah" (as in "tar")/
Chicano Spanglish for a car tire, blending English "tire" with Spanish "llanta." Changing a flat yanta on the side of the freeway is practically a rite of passage in the barrio.
“I got a flat yanta on the freeway, help me with the spare.”
“I need new yantas, these don't grip even on dry road.”
