This model covers the needs of a wide range of 18 wheelers, ready mixers, and box trucks used in the long haul and regional services. According to the customer's reviews, it is a great tire option at the correct price. Yokohama tires received a great reputation thanks to the latest technologies used in the production of this model. As a result, these improve heat build up, mileage, and tread layer separation.
Above all, Yokohama TY517 MC2 comes with a specific tread compound shaped into a closed shoulder design. Advanced technologies improve heat distribution for longer wear and low rolling resistance. The solid outer shoulder controls the load distribution for even wear. In addition, aggressive center blocks with a special siping design ensure an extra biting edge for a firm road grip and powerful traction. This model has tapered center grooves developed to reduce tread damage produced by sharp stones. A 28/32" original deep tread offers long lasting and road grabbing power for the long haul without any compromises when it comes to performance. Due to three circumferential grooves, this model provides a self cleaning ability, offering great water evacuation, lateral stability, and uniform wear at the same time.
