Nowadays, for many logistic companies fuel economy is one of the main priorities. To save money, engineers recommend using rib tires that produce less rolling resistance, translating into better fuel economy. For example, in the production of many models, Yokohama uses SmartWay Verified tread compound. The RY023 is not an exception. This model is a trustworthy workhorse developed for all position axles in P&D, long distance, and regional services. It standout with a superb life in city environments.
Above all, Yokohama RY023 comes with a new fuel efficient tread compound shaped into a ribbed pattern. Massive shoulder ribs with special sipes improve handling performance and road stability in scrub conditions. Another role of semi rounded shoulders is to reduce the risk of shoulder ripping and tearing, thus lowering cost per mile.
Best of all, the special hexagonal bead base ensures easy mounting and even pressure along the entire circumference of the tire. Yokohama RY023 has a stronger casing and thick compound, as a result, these support the tire in special urban and regional services. If it is not enough, this model offers a 6 year and three retreads warranty. To reduce stone and debris drilling, Yokohama uses special rock shield platforms, thus improving casing life, strength, and mileage. Moreover, the sidewall abrasion guard resists damage to the sidewall caused by curbing and scrubbing.
Yokohama RY023 is present on the US market in a wide range of sizes with 17.5, 22.5, and 24.5 -inch rim diameters. It covers a wide range of tractor day cabs, bulk trucks, parcel delivery trucks, and many semi trailers.
