Yokohama 506U
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
- All season performance
- Improved controllability
- Upgraded load durability
- Longer-lasting tread life
OVERVIEW
The Yokohama 506U is a highway terrain, all season tire made for commercial vehicles. This model is designed for all axle positions.
Excellent all season performance is promoted with this tire. In this manner, the ribbed tread design can easily maintain road contact in different conditions. The all season compound protects the rubber and keeps it flexible in both warm and cold temperatures. They work together to improve dry, wet, and winter performance. At the same time, wide grooves prevent hydroplaning, by dispersing water and slush from the footprint. This offers a safe year-round driving experience.
The ribbed tread design and its close road contact enhance overall controllability. They increase steering responsiveness and driving stability. The steering response time becomes faster and more precise to the driver's instructions, while the structure is secured against driving pressure. The outer ribs enable the tire to have better cornering, which enables the driver to have great control over the vehicle.
The strong rubber compound and the special rubber compound boost load and driving durability. These elements keep the ideal tire shape under load and driving pressure. As the tire does not deform, it can carry and withstand heavy loads. This significantly enhances load capacity and handling power, making the model perfect for commercial applications.
The Yokohama 506U extends its service life. The ribbed tread design and the wear-resistant compound prevent irregular and premature wear formations. The ribbed tread can evenly distribute driving pressure across the tread area, while the wear-resistant compound slows the treadwear rate down. This decreased and even wear upgrades the tire's tread life.
