Yokohama RY617

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

• Longer lasting tread life
• Enhanced controllability
• All weather traction

OVERVIEW

The Yokohama RY617 is a highway terrain, all season tire manufactured for commercial vehicles. It was made to be mounted on the vehicle's steer axle.

The tread pattern and all season compound increase the tire's performance in various conditions. The compound's flexible rubber materials firmly grip the road surface and remains pliable in different temperatures. The tread's high-density rib edge siping detail upgrades the number of biting edges gripping the road surface to boost the tire's grip on dry, wet and winter weather road conditions. The circumferential grooves boost the hydroplaning resistance as they enhance the tire's water and slush dispersing capability.

The tire's excellent all weather traction upgrades the steering responsiveness the driving stability. The better traction of the symmetric pattern and the tire's flat footprint allow the model to maintain a constant road contact. The better road contact improves the steering responsiveness and the driving stability. The steering becomes faster and more precise in its response to the driver's commands, while the structure is stabilized during the drive. The better controllability enables the driver's full control over the vehicle throughout the year.

The RY617 promotes a lengthened usability. The solid shoulder ribs keep the tire's contact with the road surface at all times, while the flat footprint closely follows the road surface at all times. The better contact with the road surface increases the even pressure distribution. The equally spread out forces of acceleration, cornering and braking avoid the formation of irregular tread wear across the tread area. In this manner, the tire provides an extended tread and service life.
