Грузовые шины Yokohama RY023

The summer tire Yokohama RY023 is installed on the steering axles of commercial vehicles with medium and high carrying capacity. The model is characterized by a wide range of applications, as it is offered by the Japanese manufacturer in several dozen sizes for wheels with a landing diameter from 17.5 to 22.5 inches. Among the operational properties, it is worth noting the high mileage and fuel efficiency, which ensures high economic efficiency when using this tire.

Extended service life

The tire is distinguished by a long service life. It is provided by several design features. One of them is the optimized tread shape. In the side projection, it has a variable curvature. This significantly increases the size of the tire's contact patch with the road, and at the same time gives it a practically square shape. As a result, the load is distributed over the road surface very evenly, which reduces the degree of tread wear, especially during strong lateral accelerations. Here, it is also worth noting the increased depth of the tread layer, which also increases the tire's service life.

High directional stability

The next distinctive feature of the tire is the ratio of the sizes of the longitudinal ribs in the central part and the shoulder zones. The former are significantly narrower. This provides the tire with a number of important advantages. The key one is directional stability. The tire demonstrates stable coupling properties under the continuous influence of lateral acceleration forces.

Confident behavior on wet pavement

All tread ribs have special slots. These elements, when in contact with the road surface, form sharp and high edges. They easily cut through the water film, allowing the tire to effectively grip the wet road. Especially when braking. The lamellas are located almost at a right angle to the direction of movement, which improves the longitudinal coupling properties.
