Yokohama decibel E70GZ

The Yokohama decibel E70GZ summer tire is designed for the most dynamic modifications of passenger cars of various classes. It is characterized by balance, simultaneously demonstrating sporty precise handling, acoustic comfort, wear resistance, and fuel efficiency.

The tread pattern features a symmetrical arrangement of elements. The key design element is a solid central rib. This element, thanks to the absence of gaps and enlarged dimensions, has high resistance to deformation. As a result, multidirectional acceleration forces are transmitted to the steering wheel quickly and accurately, improving handling accuracy and directional stability, along with feedback transparency and reduced rolling resistance.

The two rows of small blocks located in the central part provide high efficiency during braking and traction on slippery surfaces. The shoulder areas are enlarged in size. And the blocks that form them are rigidly connected to each other by longitudinal "bridges". This design improves several important driving qualities at once. First and foremost, it is resistance to lateral skidding during maneuvering and braking properties.

During the development of the tread pattern, much attention was paid to ensuring a high level of acoustic comfort. This is precisely why there are additional narrow ribs in the central part. These elements prevent the spread of high-frequency noises outward, the source of which is individual blocks. The arrangement of these elements with an offset relative to each other provides additional acoustic comfort.

The tread is made of a rubber compound with an increased content of silicon dioxide, also known as silica. This component consists of finely dispersed particles that are evenly distributed throughout the compound at the molecular level using special polymers. This further increases the effectiveness of the tread on cold wet surfaces, providing reduced rolling resistance, wear resistance, punctures, and cuts.

Main features:

- solid central rib increases handling accuracy and directional stability;
- wide rigidly connected shoulder blocks increase stability during maneuvering and reduce wear;
- rubber compound provides efficiency on wet surfaces, reduces wear and the risk of punctures and tears.
