Yokohama TY517 MC2
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
- Fuel-efficient performance
- Longer-lasting tread life
- Enhanced load durability
OVERVIEW
The Yokohama TY517 MC2 is a highway terrain, all season tire manufactured for commercial vehicles. This model was designed for drive axles.
The tire increases its fuel efficiency. The special advanced compound decreases the tire's rolling resistance by utilizing pressure-resistant rubber materials. This eases the pressure off the tire, preventing heat build-up along the tread area. In this manner, the tire is able to effectively minimize rolling resistance, which is the pressure that determines the vehicle's needed fuel intake levels. Lowering rolling resistance lessens the vehicle's fuel consumption and CO2 emissions, providing better fuel economy.
On the other hand, the optimized tread elements greatly lengthen the tire's usability. The solid outer shoulder rib works with the large circumferential grooves and the tapered center groove in order to ensure even pressure circulation along the footprint. This is ensured, as these elements prevent tread flexing and combat irregular wear as a result. The deeper starting tread depth also enhances the tire's overall usability by decreasing the tread wear rate.
The Yokohama TY517 MC2 upgrades its load durability. The reinforced internal structure maintains the ideal tire shape under load and driving pressure. In other words, the tire is able to securely increase its overall load capacity, while also optimizing the driving durability. This makes the drive safer during the vehicle's heavy-duty applications.
