Direct Traction for small cars

Benefits

Original 3D-shaped sipes with polyhedral surface provide high performance on dry, wet and snow-covered surfaces.

High-rigid asymmetric design provides a high balance of performance on dry, wet and snow covered surfaces.

Feature

Celebrate the beauty of winter and take inspiration from the elements. YOKOHAMA’s winter tyres are specially constructed to provide traction on snow-covered roads. These high performance tyres remain pliable in cold weather and have a unique tread design to give you better traction. Let your emotions run free this winter!

3D-Sipes

Original 3D-shaped sipes with polyhedral surface provide high performance on dry, wet and snow-covered surfaces.

Wide surface area keeps blocks stable and enables them to support each other effectively
Increased density of sipes maximizes the edge effect

Wide Range Temperature Zones

W.drive’s compound responds to a wide-range of temperature zones providing optimum performance on various winter conditions.

“Flexible polymer” retains more softness and flexibility at low temperatures
“Micro Silica” has a smaller particle size than conventional silica and maintains rigidity and stability at high temperatures by hard-bonding with polymer even when soft polymer is used

Treat Pattern Design

Directional Tread Design

The directional tread pattern provides a “direct-feel” and traction on snowy and slushy road surfaces and excellent drainage on wet road surfaces.

Original Multi-Layer Sipes

YOKOHAMA’s original multi-layer sipes maximize the edge effect on snowy and icy road surfaces, keeping blocks stable despite the soft compound.

3-D Shaped Block Wall with Groove in Groove Design

The centralized rib-block with a 3-D shaped block wall delivers excellent dry stability by supporting the contact surface. Micro-sized grooves on the 3-D shaped block wall control uneven wear by dispersing stress and heat.

Zig’zag Shaped Main Straight Grooves

The zig’zag shaped main straight grooves provide excellent traction with their grooved edge and provide high drainage to avoid hydroplaning on wet surface.

EU product data sheet

EU Tyre Label and Efficiency Classes

The European Union has introduced the EU Tyre Label by Regulation (No. 1222/2009) identically and bindingly for all EU member states. It applies to passenger car tyres, light commercial vehicle tyres and heavy commercial vehicle tyres produced after 01.07.2012. Three different areas are tested: rolling resistance, wet grip and the rolling noise the tyre makes on the road.

The following are not affected by the EU Tyre Label: retreaded tyres, professional off-road tyres, racing tyres, tyres with additional devices to improve traction such as spiked tyres, T-type emergency tyres, special tyres for fitting to vehicles first registered before 1 October 1990, tyres with a maximum authorised speed of 80 km/h, tyres for rims with a nominal diameter of 254 mm or less or 635 mm or more.

With this regulation, the European Union is pursuing the goal of promoting economic and ecological efficiency in road traffic as well as increasing road safety on the one hand, and on the other hand, granting consumers more product transparency and at the same time serving as an active decision-making aid.

Already during the incorporation, experts criticise the fact that the EU Tyre Label unfortunately only shows a few product characteristics. Apart from rolling resistance, wet grip and rolling noise, which are the main focus of EU tyre labelling, tyres have much more important and safety-relevant product characteristics, such as aquaplaning properties, driving stability, service life, braking properties on dry and wet roads, behaviour in wintry conditions, etc.

Tyre manufacturers point out that test results from various institutions and journals remain an important information medium for the end consumer. These tests usually focus on further safety-relevant product characteristics besides the EU standard qualifications for tyre labelling, which are always important for the final customer.
