Application Chart
While the components of a tire determine its inherent performance characteristics, it is the correct application of the tire that ultimately guarantees a satisfied customer.
Because of this, it is important to carefully consider all the factors that affect tire performance in an application: the size of the vehicle, its specific use, the road conditions and terrain, weather or any special requirements a fleet or driver encounters.
If you have any questions or would like to consult us on a specific tire choice, please contact your Yokohama representative. We are involved in many field tests of truck and bus tires in various industries, and results of our experience are always available to you.
Consistent with our policy to provide a full line of products to meet all the needs of the trucking industry, Yokohama has a diverse line of truck and bus tires in a wide range of sizes and styles for all wheel positions and all applications. We also offer an excellent selection of the popular low-profile and wide-base sizes.
Yokohama's Low-Profile Designs
Low-profile tires are rapidly gaining popularity because of the many advantages they offer over the conventional tire.
Shorter, more responsive sidewalls contribute to improved handling and exceptional cornering stability.
A lower profile means better overall vehicle stability.
The larger tread contact area and more uniform ground pressure result in less tread distortion.
Lighter weight allows for more payload.
Lower height increases cargo volume potential.
Wide-Base Tires
Yokohama has developed wide-base tires for on-road as well as off-the-road applications. They are especially cost efficient in applications for heavy load-carrying vehicles such as cement trucks or for dual replacement on line-haul trailers.
