Yokohama Tire Corp. has expanded its 104ZR urban/regional all-position/steer tire line-up with four additional sizes: 225/70R19.5, 245/70R19.5, 265/70R19.5 and 285/70R19.5.
“The 104ZR is a true workhorse that’s designed to deliver longer treadwear, low rolling resistance and even wear, making it especially ideal for high scrub applications,” said Tom Clauer, Yokohama’s manager of commercial and OTR product planning.
The tire features a five-rib, full-depth tread for a smooth and quiet ride, while Yokohama’s serpentine groove pattern helps reduce premature shoulder step-down and irregular wear, Yokohama said. An ultra-wide top steel belt increases rigidity across the entire tread surface for enhanced durability and to avoid casing damage.
The 104ZR was also engineered with Yokohama’s Zenvironment technology, which accurately predicts casing growth and helps with stabilized performance over the life of the tire, longer casing life and better retreadability, the tiremaker adds.
Additionally, the tire offers improved fuel economy with specialized compounds that are stronger and more pliable, and block-shaped stone defense ribs prevent stones to reduce casing damage.
The 104ZR will still be available in its original sizes: 295/80R22.5, 9R22.5, 10R22.5, 11R22.5 12R22.5 and 315/80R22.5.
