Yokohama’s 712L drive tire and 114R UWB wide-base single tires are coming with low rolling resistance verified by SmartWay.

The 712L longhaul drive tire will be launched April 1 in four sizes: 295/75R22.5, 11R22.5, 285/75R24.5 and 11R24.5. It offers improved wear resistance, thanks to a stress control groove that helps stabilize the outer rib, combating irregular wear, the manufacturer says.

The 712L will phase out the 577 and 703 models.

The 114R UWB will succeed the RY407 UWB and will be launched later this year in size 445/50R22.5.
