Yokohama promises improved performance in 114R tire

by Today's Trucking

Yokohama has come out with a 114R tire for regional haul and spread-axle applications.

The SmartWay-verified tire will be available March 1 in sizes: 11R22.5, 295/75R22.5, 285/75R24.5, 11R24.5, 255/70R22.5 and 275/70R22.5.

“With its high-scrub tread compound and rounded shoulder ribs, the all-new 114R is definitely built to last,” said Tom Clauer, Yokohama’s senior manager of commercial product planning.

Yokohama says benefits include: longer wear due to round shoulder ribs designed to resist curb damage and reduce wear; increased mileage and fuel efficiency thanks to an optimized tread depth and sturdy rib design; and enhanced durability from the funnel-shaped step grooves that prevent stones and debris from reaching the bottom of the grooves.
