Yokohama Rolls Out Two Medium Truck Tires
FULLERTON, CA – Yokohama Tire Corp. displayed two new medium truck tires, the 501ZA and the 103ZR, at the Technology and Maintenance Council (TMC) Show in Orlando, Fla.
FULLERTON, CA – Yokohama Tire Corp. displayed two new medium truck tires, the 501ZA and the 103ZR, at the Technology and Maintenance Council (TMC) Show in Orlando, Fla., according to Modern Tire Dealer magazine. The 501ZA is designed for on- and off-highway use and is a member of Yokohama’s Z.Environment line of products. It will be available next month in two sizes: 11R22.5 and 11R24.5.
The tire’s compound “utilizes Z.Environment technology to produce stronger and more pliable rubber,” say Yokohama officials. “The result is less heat generation, which in turn improves tread wear and provides low rolling resistance.”
The 103ZR is a regional steer tire with 23/32-inch tread depth, rock ejector platforms, Z.Environment technology, and other features. It will be available in late 2008 in a number of sizes, including 295/75R22.5, 11R22.5, 11R24.5, and others.
