Yokohama 101ZL
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
- All weather traction
- Enhanced controllability
- Longer lasting tread life
OVERVIEW
The Yokohama 101ZL is a highway terrain, all season tire manufactured for commercial vehicles. It was made to be mounted on the vehicle's steer axle.
The tire is easily handled in various conditions. The symmetric ribbed tread's flat footprint and the ideal tire shape optimize the tire's road contact to boost the steering responsiveness and the driving stability. In other words, they increase the steering response time and accuracy to the driver's commands, while the structure is stabilized against the driving pressure affecting the model. The tire's high siping density also helps upgrade the performance. They improve the braking ability by decreasing the braking distance and securing the tire's road contact with additional biting edges. This ensures a safer driving experience.
The model utilizes different construction elements to upgrade the tread life length. It combines the construction, the tread design and the compound's road gripping abilities to extend the tire's usability. The construction maintains the optimal tire shape and prevents the deformation of the tire, which ensures an even road contact at all times. The stable tread elements of the ribbed pattern prevent tread flexing throughout the tire's performance, promoting equal pressure distribution and avoiding uneven tread wear formations. The durable compound is wear-resistant which significantly slows the tread wear rate down. This combination provides a longer lasting usability and tread life.
The 101ZL upgrades the all weather traction. The symmetric ribbed tread design with the siping detail and the all season tire compound work together to increase the dry, wet and winter weather performance. The tire's special compound improves the rubber flexibility in different conditions, while the tread's optimal pattern firmly grips the road surface throughout the tire's lifetime. The circumferential grooves enhance the water and slush dispersing ability and power. In this manner, they actively resist hydroplaning during the tire's performance.
