Depending on the conditions and work field where the tire will be used, the engineers use a corresponding tread compound on each model. For example, line haul services request fuel efficiency, long lasting, and optimal carrying capacity, while mixed services like a waste haul need a durable and chip/cut resistant compound. Before Yokohama tires arrive on the market, tires pass through the latest manufacturing processes. As a result, all Yokohama's tires are innovative and trustworthy rubber products.
