Yokohama 902L
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
- All weather traction
- Fuel efficient performance
- Longer lasting tread life
OVERVIEW
The Yokohama 902L is a highway terrain, all season tire manufactured for commercial vehicles. It was made to be mounted on the vehicle's drive axle.
The tread design increases the all weather traction. The tire's wider footprint features a detailer tread pattern that upgrades the dry, wet and winter weather gripping ability. The tread's splits and closed siping detail, along with the small block and siping combinations, increase the number of biting edges gripping the road surface all year round. This enables the tire to enhance the grip on versatile road surface conditions, including on ice- and snow-covered roads. These tread elements improve the tire's controllability and braking ability on harsh winter weather road satiations, enabling the driver's full control over the vehicle at all times.
The tread design also helps improve the tire's fuel efficiency. The stabilized footprint maintains the tire's surface contact throughout its performance, while the siping pattern enhances the traction. The compound also boosts the year round grip. This combination eases the driving pressure off the tire, significantly lowering the rolling resistance. The rolling resistance is the driving pressure affecting the model, which determines the vehicle's needed fuel intake. This allows the tire to decrease the vehicle's fuel consumption and CO2 emission levels, guaranteeing a fuel conscious driving experience.
The 902L extends the tire's usability. The tread design and the durable compound work together to lengthen the tread life. The lessened rolling resistance and the compound decrease the tread wear rate. The reduced rolling resistance eases the pressure off the tire, while the compound's wear-resistant elements slow the wear rate down. The wider footprint's close road contact and the ideal siping pattern ensure even pressure distribution along the tread area. The equally spread out force of acceleration, cornering and braking avoids irregular wear formations across the tire's surface, actively preventing irregular wear formations across the tread area. The result is a longer lasting tread life.
