The summer tire Yokohama Bluearth E51B belongs to the line of so-called "energy-efficient" tires. The key feature of the tire is its pronounced fuel-saving properties, which are ensured by the use of a whole complex of technical solutions.
Reduced Aerodynamic Resistance
One of its elements is the shape of the tire in a side projection. It is designed to minimize air resistance that occurs when driving at high speeds.
NanoBlend Compound
The tire tread is made of a rubber mixture called NanoBlend. It is characterized by high elasticity and resistance to abrasive wear at the same time. The combination of such properties was achieved due to the inclusion of silica and orange oil in the compound composition. The first component gives the tread elasticity at low temperatures, and the second - strength in terms of breaking and stretching. Thanks to this, the tire has improved traction on wet surfaces and durability.
Lightweight Frame
The frame is entirely made of synthetic materials. Their use has not affected the strength and reliability of the tire, thanks to the application of modern cord winding technologies. With their help, the density of the arrangement of synthetic fibers has been significantly increased, which made it possible to increase the rigidity of the frame structure, while reducing its weight. Ultimately, this led to a significant reduction in rolling resistance and fuel consumption along with it.
Main Features of Yokohama Bluearth E51B
- AERO Dynamics technology reduces fuel consumption due to a specially selected tire shape that reduces air aerodynamic resistance;
- the rubber compound contains orange oil, which prevents abrasive wear;
- a lightweight frame made of synthetic materials reduces rolling resistance without compromising the strength of the tire.
