The summer tire Yokohama Bluearth RV02 is designed for minivans, SUVs, and crossover vehicles. The size range includes 35 options with diameters from 15 to 20 inches. It is characterized by excellent traction on wet surfaces, pronounced fuel-saving properties, and a long service life.
Asymmetric Tread
The tread pattern is designed in an asymmetric style, which borrows many details from the sports model ADVAN V105. In particular, all elements are arranged very tightly and have high stiffness. In addition to increasing the area of the contact zone with the road, this provides a very even distribution of the vehicle's weight on it. And this is maintained even at significant longitudinal or transverse accelerations. As a result, the grip not only increases but also remains stable in any driving mode. Moreover, this solution significantly slows down the wear rate of the tread.
Low Noise Level
The tire is characterized by low noise while driving. This is due to several factors. First and foremost, it is the properties of the rubber compound to absorb a significant part of the impact from small road surface irregularities. Additionally, all tread elements that generate noise from rolling are arranged with an offset relative to each other, which prevents the occurrence of low-frequency hum. High-frequency noises are reduced by bridges between the shoulder blocks and special circular recesses on their side. They reduce the risk of air flow vortices that form around the tire at high speeds.
Rubber Compound
The tread is made of the NanoBlend rubber compound. Its composition is based on silica and contains orange oil and special polymers. The oil further increases the strength of the compound under tension. In turn, the polymers, acting at the molecular level, ensure the uniformity of the rubber compound, help the tread maintain its integrity at high speeds, and resistance to abrasive wear.
Key Features:
- designed for heavy passenger cars with a high center of gravity;
- asymmetric tread pattern with stiff and tightly arranged elements;
- excellent traction on wet surfaces due to the silica-based compound and numerous drainage grooves of several types;
- very low noise and vibration levels even on poor roads;
- pronounced fuel-saving properties due to the physico-chemical properties of the compound, low tire weight, and optimized tread pattern.
