Yokohama Y870C

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

• Temporary spare tire
• All season traction
• Improved controllability

OVERVIEW

The Yokohama Y870C is a touring, all season tire made for passenger vehicles.

This is a temporary spare tire model designed to be used when one of the vehicle’s regular tires gets damaged. As a result, mounting this tire offers a limited, temporary performance. Such tires are offered in smaller physical sizes. While this weakens its structure, it also offers positive characteristics. It decreases the truck space temporary tires take up and lowers the weight the vehicle needs to carry. This optimizes fuel economy by decreasing fuel consumption levels. All of this is made possible as long as the tire’s pressure levels are kept at 60 psi.

The narrow tread’s symmetric design and the all season compound improve the tire’s dry, wet, and winter-weather traction. These tread elements and their road contact allow the tire to upgrade the number of biting edges gripping the road surface. Additional, stronger rubber materials keep the tire pliable throughout the year, enabling its performance in various temperatures. Narrow circumferential and lateral grooves channel water and slush from the footprint, promoting moderate hydroplaning resistance.

The Yokohama Y870C utilizes its symmetric ribbed tread design to maintain surface contact. As a result, it effectively improves steering responsiveness and driving stability. Faster and more precise steering responses to the driver’s commands, while the structure is secured against driving pressure. Their combination makes sure the tire greatly improves its controllability and maneuvering.
