Yokohama Tire Corporation’s TY527 premium drive tire is now in three additional 16-ply sizes: 295/75R22.5, 11R22.5 and 11R24.5.
“The TY527 is ideal for regional, high scrub and long-haul applications for 2- and 3-axle tractor applications,” said Dan Funkhouser, Yokohama director of commercial dealer sales.
The tire features a 32/32nd tread depth and 16-ply construction that helps deliver a long life, the tiremaker said.
The tire was designed with a direction tread pattern to reduce block movement and resist heel and toe wear, and stress wear control groves alleviate contact pressure on the edge of the outside blocks, Yokohama said. Additionally, the TY527 utilizes Yokohama’s STEM-2 technology that helps extend the life of the tire casing.
The TY527 is still available in its original 14-ply, 285/75R24.5 size.
