Yokohama 716U UWB
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
- All season traction
- Longer-lasting tread life
- Upgraded load durability
OVERVIEW
The Yokohama 716U UWB is a highway terrain, all season tire made for commercial vehicles. This model was designed for drive axles.
The tire offers excellent all season traction. The ribbed block placement and the all season compound ensure great dry, wet, and winter weather traction. The wider footprint's ideal block placement creates biting edges that ensure better traction. On the other hand, the durable compound improves rubber flexibility throughout the year, upgrading summer and winter weather driving safety. Circumferential grooves channel water and slush from the footprint, preventing hydroplaning in wet weather conditions.
The reinforced casing and sidewalls work with the tread design and the wear-resistant compound to achieve a lengthened tread life. The construction allows the tire to significantly increase pressure circulation, as tread flexing is avoided. On the other hand, the wear-resistant compound decreases the treadwear rate as well. Slow and even wear significantly improve the tire's overall usability. Additionally, the compound helps to avoid tread damage along the footprint. This combination helps to significantly increase the tire's usability.
The Yokohama 716U UWB increases its load durability. The reinforced wide base of the tire maintains the surface while the tires are in motion. The construction maintains its ideal shape under load and driving pressure, improving its better load capacity. This improves the tire's better load-handling power.
