Yokohama 104ZR Spec-2 is developed based on the original 104ZR, but with some improvements. This model is an ideal tire option for a wide range of coaches and tour buses used in regional and long haul applications. Due to the SmartWay Verified tread compound, the tire ensures high mileage, great fuel efficiency, strong road grip, and powerful traction on the road.
Above all, an advanced tread compound is shaped into a multi rib tread pattern. Five ribs with serpentine grooves designed to combat shoulder uneven wear to prevent irregular wear for more miles. Special shoulder blocks resist irregular wear and tear in fast corners. Wide contact area provides strong wet handling and short braking distance. At the same time, up to 21/32" tread depth ensures an amazing long tread life.
To increase passenger safety, engineers use a trustworthy casing construction that provides up to 9,090lbs maximum load per tire, thus allowing it to carry more passengers. While optimized siping and tread design improve noise for good acoustic comfort. Moreover, strong steel belted carcass adds more rigidity across the tread surface for high durability. Revolutionary stone ejector platforms in the center of the transversal grooves combat stone and debris retention for increased casing life and durability.
Yokohama 104ZR Spec-2 is available in 315/80R22.5 size with an L load index. Based on the annual sales it is one of the best selling all position tires for many coaches, and buses.
