Yokohama Tire Corporation has added a new member to its winter tire line, the iceGUARD iG51v, which is now available in the U.S. in 13 sizes developed specifically for light trucks, SUVs and Crossover SUVs.
iceGUARD iG51v highlights include:
• A high-density reinforced compound that provides maximum contact between the road and tire, providing a stable tread block in all winter conditions.
• The dual-action shoulder groove has a zig-zag design on top to stabilize the blocks and create the ideal edge for slush and snow grip, while the lower part of the groove is straight for water evacuation.
• The interlocking 3D sipes and adaptive 3D sipes work in tandem to maximize surface area for improved stability and grip on icy roads.
• The variable angle center rib is designed to increase block rigidity and stability in dry weather conditions.
