Description

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.This is a bias ply or diagonal tire. Due to the tire’s internal construction and size, it is possible that the tire will look deformed. Smaller diagonal tires do not have reinforced constructions that can keep the tire from deforming. The bias construction and the small tire’s non-reinforced internal structure allow the tire to fold in when it is deflated or not properly inflated. This is not constructional damage or an issue; it is a normal occurrence with such tires. In such cases, the tire needs to be mounted and inflated to the proper PSI or, in some instances, an inner tube needs to be added. The proper PSI and the inner tube are able to maintain the tire’s ideal shape, preventing the bias plies from looking deformed. This ensures their performing safety and durability.The photo is a representation of the tire’s possible deformation, it does not represent the specific tire model, size, tread pattern and application.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.
