The summer tire Yokohama E501F is positioned by the Japanese manufacturer as an all-season model in some markets. This has quite solid grounds in the form of an original tread pattern, demonstrating increased efficiency on slippery roads. In addition, this model is characterized by a number of other advantages, including excellent stability at any speed, high level of acoustic comfort and fuel efficiency.
Original asymmetric tread pattern
The specialists of the Japanese company equipped this tire with an asymmetric tread pattern. It has several original design features. First of all, this is an unusually large number of individual elements, which increases the number of gripping edges, improving handling on slippery surfaces. It is also worth noting the presence of as many as seven longitudinal ribs, which gives the tire excellent stability and stability at high speeds, as well as extremely fast and precise responses to steering wheel turns.
Double blocks in the shoulder zones
The shoulder zones of this tire's tread are also notable for a large number of gripping edges, mainly due to the double construction of the blocks located here. In addition, they are distinguished by a quadrangular shape and the fact that they are installed transversely to the direction of movement. The combination of such design features significantly improves the efficiency during braking, as well as stability during maneuvers.
Main features of Yokohama E501F
- The original V-shaped tread pattern with a large number of individual elements provides the tire with excellent performance, primarily on wet roads;
- A highly efficient drainage system with a large number of diagonal grooves gives the tire excellent resistance to aquaplaning;
- A compound with an increased silica content in combination with numerous lamellas improves traction on wet roads, as well as the wear resistance of the tread.
