The all-season passenger tire Yokohama Y354, designed for minivans and small trucks, boasts unparalleled operational characteristics that surpass many of its competitors.
First and foremost, these tires provide a high level of safety for a fully loaded vehicle when driving at high speeds, regardless of the type of road surface. Such exceptional capabilities are made possible by the application of unique technologies in the development of the tire.
In particular, the composition of the tire's rubber compound, Yokohama Y354, was selected with the possibility of year-round operation in mind. As a result, it was possible to achieve stability of the tire's operational characteristics over a wide temperature range - from minus to plus 40 degrees.
Additionally, the special composition of the rubber compound, combined with the design of the non-directional tread pattern, developed with the help of computer modeling, made it possible to significantly reduce the noise level.
Since the tire is designed for use on commercial vehicles, its construction is characterized by high strength, which was achieved through the use of a comprehensive approach in its development. In particular, in the central part of the tread, there are two rows of individual blocks that are massive. This solution contributed to achieving a large contact patch area and reducing rolling resistance on the one hand, and more even distribution of external load across the entire contact patch on the other. Furthermore, the company's engineers significantly reinforced the tire's sidewalls, allowing it to withstand the enormous weight of the transported cargo without any issues.
Key features of the Yokohama Y354 tire
- The possibility of year-round operation is ensured by a unique rubber compound with special properties;
- The 8-layer cord construction increases the tire's strength and service life;
- Two rows of massive blocks provide a large contact patch area and excellent load-carrying capacity;
- High resistance to aquaplaning due to two straight and one zigzag-shaped water drainage grooves.
