The 716U ultra-wide-base (UWB) tire is designed to decrease weight and increase profitability for fleets. Available in size 455\/55R225, the 716U UWB carries a load rating M (ply-rating 22) to help boost payload by reducing unsprung weight without compromising total carrying capacity, enabling a larger payload capacity each trip.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt Yokohama, we want to help commercial fleets reduce costs and improve productivity, in this case those in waste, recycle and on\/off road severe service operations,\u201d said Diana Colosimo, brand development manager for Yokohama Tire (Canada). \u201cThe new 716U offers reliable all-season traction and durable construction, while reducing overall vehicle weight and increasing payload.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The 716U UWB also features a zig-zag groove to evacuate water away from the tread and enhance traction and wet-weather grip; funnel-shaped step grooves to prevent stones and other debris from reaching the bottom of the groove and damaging the casing; durable casing with an extra thick sidewall to resist damage from hitting potholes or curbs, and to increase retreadability; an advanced compound designed to resist scrubbing, cutting and chipping, thus extending tread-life; and a zero-degree belt that adds stability for a stable footprint and long, even wear.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new commercial offering from Yokohama has been released in Canada, following the US launch in September.
