Yokohama 124R Tires
The Yokohama 124R is a highway terrain, all weather tire made for commercial vehicles. This model is made to be mounted on all axle positions.
The ribbed tread design and the all weather compound improve dry, wet, and winter traction. In other words, the optimal tread can easily perform in versatile weather conditions, while also handling ice- and snow-covered roads. On the other hand, the all weather compound keeps the rubber flexible in different temperatures. Large circumferential grooves also prevent hydroplaning, by dispersing water and slush from the footprint. This offers a safe driving experience.
The model also boosts its controllability. The ribbed tread design maintains close road contact, which upgrades steering responsiveness and driving stability. The steering response time is faster and more precise to the driver’s commands, while the structure is secured against driving pressure. The outer ribs and their siping detail work together to improve cornering and braking. This combination enables the driver to have confident control over the vehicle, providing a safe driving experience.
The strengthened internal structure and the special rubber compound maintain the ideal tire shape under load and driving pressure. They do not allow the tire to deform during the performance, which increases its load-carrying and withstanding ability. These elements improve load capacity, which makes this model an excellent choice for commercial applications.
The Yokohama 124R also promotes a longer-lasting tread life. The ribbed tread design and the rubber compound prevent irregular and premature wear formations. In this manner, this tread design can evenly distribute driving pressure along the tread area, while the compound slows the tread wear rate down. This slow and even wear significantly increases the tire’s service life and usability.
All weather tires receive the three mountain peak and snowflake (3PMS) symbol for their exceptional winter weather performance. They are all season tires with extra winter weather grip, in order to guarantee safer year-round durability. This ensures their true and secure driving ability throughout the year.
Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored before they are sold, the year of their manufacture will not shorten their service life.
