Yokohama Y870C. FEATURES AND BENEFITS: Temporary spare tire; All season traction; Improved controllability; . OVERVIEW: The Yokohama Y870C is a touring, all season tire made for passenger vehicles.This is a temporary spare tire model designed to be used when one of the vehicles regular tires gets damaged. As a result, mounting this tire offers a limited, temporary performance. Such tires are offered in smaller physical sizes. While this weakens its structure, it also offers positive characteristics. It decreases the truck space temporary tires take up and lowers the weight the vehicle needs to carry. This optimizes fuel economy by decreasing fuel consumption levels. All of this is made possible as long as the tires pressure levels are kept at 60 psi.The narrow treads symmetric design and the all season compound improve the tires dry, wet, and winter-weather traction. These tread elements and their road contact allow the tire to upgrade the number of biting edges gripping the road surface. Additional, stronger rubber materials keep the tire pliable throughout the year, enabling its performance in various temperatures. Narrow circumferential and lateral grooves channel water and slush from the footprint, promoting moderate hydroplaning resistance.The Yokohama Y870C utilizes its symmetric ribbed tread design to maintain surface contact. As a result, it effectively improves steering responsiveness and driving stability. Faster and more precise steering responses to the drivers commands, while the structure is secured against driving pressure. Their combination makes sure the tire greatly improves its controllability and maneuvering. This specific tire model features a BIASED ply construction. Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored before they are sold, the year of their manufacture will not shorten their service life.
