Description Yellow Sea YS16
The Yellow Sea YS16 truck tire is designed for installation on the steering and trailer axles of trucks. Such a wide range of applications is largely due to the original non-directional tread pattern, which has excellent directional stability and traction properties in the longitudinal direction. In addition, it is impossible not to note the traditionally attractive price-to-quality ratio of Chinese tire products. At a very low cost, this model has a sufficiently long service life.
Excellent directional stability
The tread pattern of this model contains five longitudinal ribs separated by four wide drainage grooves. Each of these ribs, in addition to massive dimensions, has very high structural rigidity. In motion, this manifests itself in resistance to dynamic deformation, which allows the tire to demonstrate excellent directional stability, and when installed on the steering axle, high maneuverability and a short braking distance.
Reinforced shoulder areas
Among other distinctive features of the Yellow Sea YS16 tire, it is worth noting the design of the shoulder areas. Each of them is a solid, uninterrupted element throughout its length. In combination with massive dimensions, this provides the tire with a number of important advantages. First of all, this is a more even distribution of external pressure on the contact patch. At the same time, its shape becomes close to rectangular, which has a positive effect on handling and also increases the resistance of the tread to uneven wear.
High resistance to aquaplaning
All five longitudinal ribs are separated by drainage grooves, which are distinguished, first of all, by significant dimensions, thanks to which very fast water removal from the contact patch is ensured. In addition, on their bottom, there are special "ejectors" of stones and other foreign objects, which significantly improves the operational characteristics of the tire.
Main features of the Yellow Sea YS16 model
- the tire is designed for installation on the steering axles of trucks and any axles of buses operated mainly on high-speed highways;
- five wide longitudinal ribs, due to high deformation resistance, provide excellent directional stability;
- numerous edges in the central part of the tread allow significantly reducing the braking distance, especially on wet roads;
- reinforced shoulder areas contribute to a more even distribution of external weight on the contact patch, which improves handling and resistance to uneven wear;
- very low rolling resistance due to the minimum number of separate tread elements;
- drainage grooves with "ejectors" of stones provide excellent resistance to aquaplaning, as well as the ability of the tread to independently get rid of foreign objects.
