Yokohama 115R. FEATURES AND BENEFITS: All weather traction; Fuel efficient performance; Upgraded load durability; . OVERVIEW: The Yokohama 115R is a highway terrain, all season tire manufactured for commercial vehicles. This model was made for all axle positions.The tire improves the all weather traction which is ensured with the all season compound and the detailed tread design. This combination enhances the dry, wet and winter weather traction. The compound elements optimize the rubber flexibility in versatile temperatures, increasing the traction in high heat summer and colder winter situations. The tread design enables the tire to firmly grip the road surface with the use of extra biting edges, enhancing the year round performance. The tread design's lateral and serpentine circumferential grooves prevent hydroplaning by dispersing water and slush from the footprint, ensuring wet weather performance.The all weather traction and the optimized tread design ease the pressure off the tire during the performance. In this manner, the tire greatly decreases the rolling resistance. The rolling resistance is the pressure affecting the tire, which determines the vehicle's necessary fuel intake levels in order to keep the tires in motion. Lowering the rolling resistance allows the vehicle to lessen the vehicle's fuel consumption and CO2 emission levels. The result is a fuel efficient and environmentally friendly driving experience.The 115R enhances the load and driving durability. The tire features a stronger sidewall and casing structure which maintains the optimal tire shape under the load and driving pressure. In this manner, the tire is able to securely carry and withstand heavy loads with ease, which greatly upgrades the load carrying and withstanding capability. In other words, the tire significantly improves the load capacity. 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.
