The application area of the summer tire Yokohama Sport EV V108 is passenger cars and crossovers with electric and hybrid powertrains. It is characterized by reduced rolling resistance, quiet and smooth ride, increased stability and precision handling at high speeds, and reduced stopping distance on wet surfaces.
The tread pattern is distinguished by an asymmetric arrangement of elements, as well as their massive size, which gives them significant resistance to deformation. Such a design most effectively minimizes rolling resistance, preventing rapid tire wear, while providing excellent stability and handling precision, both when driving in a straight line and when cornering. In the latter case, high handling precision is achieved due to the stiffness of the longitudinal ribs and blocks at the edges. Another important feature of the tread pattern is the presence of an increased number of drainage elements on the inside. In particular, these are Z-shaped grooves that not only reduce the risk of a continuous water film forming in the contact patch, but also limit the mobility of the longitudinal ribs, where they are located, which has a positive effect on the stability of the traction properties on wet surfaces. The next difference of this model is the design of its carcass. It is distinguished by a combination of low weight and high stiffness, due to which the rolling resistance is significantly reduced, and the traction properties and handling, on the contrary, are improved.
The main features of Yokohama Sport EV V108:
- a layer of polyurethane foam located on the inside of the tire reduces noise and vibrations;
- an asymmetric tread pattern with division into functional areas improves the basic ride properties of the tire;
- a special rubber compound prevents rapid wear and overheating of the tire when driving at high speeds, providing stable traction and smooth ride due to increased elasticity;
- an optimized tread profile and lightweight rigid carcass reduce wear and fuel consumption, increasing handling precision and course stability.
