Description Yokohama S760
The primary target audience of the Yokohama S760 summer tire is the owners of small-class passenger cars, who use them mainly within the city limits. In these conditions, this model demonstrates almost all of its numerous advantages. Among them, it is especially worth noting the excellent grip on wet roads, high level of acoustic comfort, and increased resistance to wear.
Rigid longitudinal rib in the center
The key element of the central part of the tread design is a rigid longitudinal rib of a continuous structure. The main function of this element is to ensure directional stability, handling, low rolling resistance, and resistance to uneven wear. Due to several additional elements, the central longitudinal rib improves a whole range of other operational properties of the tire. In particular, the use of many small grooves reduces the level of resonant noise and vibrations, and small lamellas increase the resistance to aquaplaning.
Excellent efficiency in turns and when braking
In turn, the shoulder zones of the tread are distinguished by very wide blocks of a quadrangular shape and a profile of variable curvature. This design ensures the constancy of the shape and size of the contact patch when maneuvering, which significantly improves handling and traction, especially when cornering. In addition, the transverse arrangement of the shoulder blocks, combined with their high rigidity, significantly improves the efficiency of the tread when accelerating and decelerating.
Key features of Yokohama S760
- the tire is excellent for use in urban conditions;
- a rigid continuous rib in the center of the tread improves directional stability and handling, reduces the likelihood of uneven wear, and reduces rolling resistance;
- wide blocks in the shoulder zones increase traction in turns, reduce the braking distance;
- wide longitudinal and transverse drainage grooves provide excellent resistance to aquaplaning.
