Yokohama Tire has recently unveiled the 907W, a fleet tire specifically engineered for exceptional traction in challenging winter conditions. This product is ideal for fleet operators and drivers who need to ensure their trucks remain operational in snowy and icy terrains.
Replacing Yokohama’s SY767, the 907W is adorned with the three-peak mountain snowflake symbol, indicating its compliance with or surpassing the severe snow service performance standards. Currently available in the U.S. in sizes 295/75R22.5, 11R22.5, and 11R24.5, this tire is a robust choice for those needing reliable Yokohama winter tires.
Tom Clauer, Yokohama’s Senior Manager of Commercial Product Planning, highlights the 907W’s superior longevity and enhanced snow performance. The tire’s deeper tread depth and robust new compound ensure that fleets can depend on consistent snow traction and efficient snow braking over multiple winter seasons.
Key advantages of the 907W include:
- Prolonged Tread Life: At 27/32-inch in tread depth, this tire offers extended snow performance and longevity of the original tread. The advanced compound is resistant to scrubbing, cutting, and chipping, ensuring a durable lifespan. Additionally, its unique block design reduces heel/toe wear, further improving traction.
- Enhanced Traction: The power ribs equipped with 3D sipes ensure solid ground contact, boosting ice and snow performance. The tire’s four zig-zag grooves enhance water evacuation, providing superior radial and lateral traction even under the most severe weather conditions.
In addition to its impressive features, the 907W is supported by Yokohama’s seven-year unlimited retread casing warranty, making it a secure investment for those needing reliable tow truck tires or fleet tires for winter conditions. This launch marks a significant step forward in providing durable and dependable winter tire solutions for the trucking industry.
