A comprehensive range of truck and bus tyres

Yokohama has introduced its comprehensive range of truck and bus tyres to the UK. While the comprehensive range will be available to cover all the major commercial vehicle applications, Yokohama’s flagship products for national and regional operations are already in stock and available to order for evaluation purposes or immediate fleet deployment.

The Yokohama 124R pattern for steer axles, (or 124RA all position pattern in 17.5” and 19.5”), has tread features to improve life and traction, including grooves and sipes specifically designed to reduce premature shoulder step down and uneven wear, stone ejectors and rigid shoulder ribs to aid straight line stability. The 704R drive axle tyre has a variety of design elements to aid mileage and traction – extra wide directional tread, high rigidity blocks and a newly developed compound all contribute to even wear, long tread life and improve traction particularly in wet and cold conditions.

Wet traction

Yokohama’s RY357 trailer tyre with 5-rib tread design is developed for even wear and wet traction with resistance to shoulder wear and the casing is specially designed to be well-suited for retreading.

In addition to its tyres for national/regional operations, the Yokohama range features products suitable for on/off road applications, long haul operations, coach and city bus fleets.
