Applications compact cars sporty hatchbacks benefits extreme ice grip fuel saving long-life grip feature super water absorptive compound ig50 asymmetric tread design triple 3-d dimple sipes low-heat-generating under tread anti energy-loss profile technology tread compound
The layer of water above the ice is the biggest contributor to loss of traction. It causes micro hydroplaning on icy surfaces. A traditional rubber rides on the surface water because the thickness of the layer of water in the -6 to 0 c zone becomes more than the normal undulations of the tyre surface can manage to work effectively. Yokohama s original super water-absorptive compound technology can put the tyre in contact with the actual ice by removing water with powerful absorbent compounds. Absorptive balloon
Removes water film from the ice surface by its cavity shape. Delivers micro edge effects on the ice surface by its hard shell. Keeps tread-block solid by its hard shell construction. Absorptive white gel
Removes water film from the ice surface by a suitable undulation for the tyre surface delivered by its flexible property. Tread pattern and construction technologies anti energy-loss profile
Delivers a fuel saving performance and stability by controlling a deflection of the tyre. Asymmetric tread pattern design
Inner zone, an effective tread pattern area for ice performance, has more actual contact area and more...
