Yokohama BluEarth Winter V906 100V XL Winter Tire

Yokohama BluEarth Winter V906. FEATURES AND BENEFITS: Winter weather traction; Enhanced controllability; Longer-lasting tread life; . OVERVIEW: The Yokohama BluEarth Winter V906 is a performance, winter tire made for passenger vehicles and SUVs.The directional tread design and the winter compound offer excellent performance in winter-weather conditions. The directional tread pattern firmly grips the road surface with extra biting edges. This enables the tire to easily handle ice- and snow-covered road surfaces. On the other hand, the special winter compound manages to keep the rubber flexible in freezing temperatures. At the same time, the optimized grooves effectively eliminate water and slush from the footprint, protecting the tire against hydroplaning.The optimized tread elements and the durable rubber compound offer excellent controllability. The directional tread pattern and its constant driving surface contact boost the tire's steering responsiveness and driving stability. In other words, the tire's steering response time becomes faster and more accurate to the driver's commands. Additionally, the structure is secured against the driving pressure affecting the tire. Also, the wide shoulder blocks help the tire have better cornering and maneuvering. As a result, the driver has full control over the vehicle at all times.The Yokohama BluEarth Winter V906 offers a longer-lasting tread life. The directional tread pattern and the wear-resistant compound prevent irregular and premature wear formations. In this manner, the ideal tread design evenly distributes driving pressure along the tread area, while the special silica compound slows the treadwear rate down. This combination enables the tire to lengthen its service life.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.
