Yokohama BluEarth Winter V905. FEATURES AND BENEFITS: Winter weather traction; Enhanced controllability; Fuel efficient performance; . OVERVIEW: The Yokohama BluEarth Winter V905 is a performance winter tire manufactured for passenger vehicles and SUVs.The tire promotes first-rate winter weather traction. It combines the tread design and the winter compound to increase the winter weather, ice and snow grip. The compound's silica end-lock advanced elements keep the tire pliable in colder temperatures by maintaining the rubber flexibility. The tread's directional pattern features a high-density zigzag siping detail that increase the number of biting edges gripping the ice- and snow-covered road surfaces. The wider angled lateral grooves prevent hydroplaning as they channel water and slush away from the footprint, optimizing the road contact in winter weather. In this manner, the tire provides a secure performing ability in cold temperature winter conditions.The tread design's versatile elements increase the model's controllability. The tread's directional pattern closely follows the road surface during the tire's performance, which increases the steering responsiveness and the driving stability. The steering becomes faster and more precise in its response to the driver's commands, while the structure is stabilized against the driving pressure affecting the model. The shoulder tread block placement enhances the cornering and maneuvering capability. These blocks boost the number of biting edges gripping the road surface while the tires are in motion to increase the cornering power. The directional pattern's high-density siping detail upgrades the braking power. The sipes create friction between the tire and the road surface at the moment of braking, which significantly shortens the braking distance. This combination results in the tire's exceptional handling even in severe winter situations.The BluEarth Winter V905 enhances the fuel efficiency. The BluEarth technology decrease the tire's rolling resistance by increasing the winter weather traction. The better traction eases the driving pressure off the tire and lowers its rolling resistance. The rolling resistance is the driving pressure affecting the model which determines the vehicle's needed fuel intake in order to keep the tires in motion. The lessened rolling resistance reduces the vehicle's fuel consumption and CO2 emission levels, offering a fuel conscious and environmentally friendly driving experience. 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.
