Yokohama RY023. FEATURES AND BENEFITS: All weather traction; Enhanced controllability; Longer lasting tread life; . OVERVIEW: The Yokohama RY023 is a highway terrain, all season tire manufactured for commercial vehicles. It was made to be mounted on the vehicle's steer and trailer axle.The tire ensures great all weather traction. The durable all season tire compound and the symmetric ribbed pattern, with the siping detail, upgrade the dry, wet and winter weather gripping ability. The stronger compound resists weather damage from harming the tread, while also maintaining the tire's flexibility in various temperatures. The siping pattern provides extra biting edges to grip the road surface throughout the year, and this better gripping capability ensures the tire's constant road contact. The circumferential grooves increase the tire's water and slush dispersing ability and power. This actively avoids hydroplaning which upgrades the wet and winter weather performance.The symmetric ribbed tread design's optimized contact with the road surface helps boost the tire's all weather controllability. The tread keeps the tire's ideal road contact to enhance the steering responsiveness and the driving stability. As a result, the steering becomes quicker and more accurate in its response to the driver's commands, while the structure is stabilized against the driving pressure affecting the model. The improved controllability enables the tire's greatest performing safety and promotes the driver's full control over the vehicle.The RY023 guarantees a lengthened usability. The symmetric tread features a flat footprint that optimizes the tire's road contact at all times. The better contact with the road surface allows the tire to evenly distribute the driving pressure along the tread area. In this manner, the model evenly circulates the driving forces of acceleration, cornering and braking across the tread area. The even pressure distribution avoids the formation of irregular tread wear along the tire's surface. The durable compound also helps lengthen the usability. It decreases the tread wear rate and extends the tread 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.
