Yokohama RY617 is a typical Yokohama commercial tire that provides all the traditional characteristics like long lasting, even wear, controlled wet traction, and durability. In the production of many models, engineers use SmartWay Verified tread compound. The RY617 is not an exception, therefore, it has an advanced tread compound that increases lifespan, fuel efficiency, and great performance. This model is a true workhorse engineered for all position services.
Yokohama TY617 stands out with a lot of innovations. Specially contoured groove walls add extra stiffness that further combats uneven treadwear. Stress decoupling grooves increase contact patch for the best pressure distribution at the tread edge for increased resistance to shoulder step-down wear. In addition, a multi rib tread design with more than 6,000 sipes expels water and promotes correct tread wear. While, special rock shield platforms protect the casing against stone and debris drilling for long casing life, durability, and many retreads.
It is known that the ribbed pattern made from SmartWay Verified compound improves rolling resistance and annual fuel costs. To improve the fuel efficiency of this model, engineers use this type of pattern. Closed shoulder ribs with special sipes improve handling ability and road stability in fast corners, thus reducing the risk of shoulder ripping and tearing.
Finally, Yokohama TY617 is present on the US market in a wide variety of sizes. More exactly with 22.5, and 24.5 -inch rim diameters. It covers a wide range of trucks used in long haul and short distance services.
