Description Yokohama 785RS
The commercial tire Yokohama 785RS is installed on the trailer axle. It is characterized by increased strength and carrying capacity, wear resistance, excellent directional stability when towing, fuel efficiency, and a long service life.
The tread part of the tire has a profile that increases the contact patch under the influence of the weight of the vehicle and the cargo it carries. This not only improves grip on dry pavement, but also significantly reduces the level of abrasive impact on the tread, which increases the mileage of the tire. The tread pattern is notable for the closedness of the shoulder zones, each of which is a solid longitudinal rib. Rigid elements, being located at the edges of the tread, increase directional stability when towing, preventing the occurrence and development of uneven wear. This also increases the service life. The central part of the tread, on the other hand, contains a large number of elements. First of all, these are S- and Z-shaped lamellae, which, with their sharp edges, allow for intense braking on wet pavement without losing traction with it. The shape of the cuts not only lengthens the edges, but also limits the mobility of the ribs, which has a positive effect on fuel efficiency, wear resistance, and traction.
Key features of Yokohama 785RS
- increased contact patch due to optimization of tread profile and design of the carcass and sidewalls;
- rigid shoulder ribs slow down wear, reduce rolling resistance, and increase directional stability when towing;
- S- and Z-shaped lamellae provide high intensity of deceleration on wet pavement, maintaining good other driving qualities of the tire.
