Yokohama Tire launches two SmartWay-verified tires

Yokohama Tire is helping fleets get more from their tires by introducing two long-lasting, fuel-efficient products: the 712L and 114R UWB. The tires are SmartWay-verified, low rolling resistance tires. Manufactured in Yokohama’s plant in West Point, Mississippi, the 712L long-haul, drive tire is available in four sizes: 295/75R22.5, 11R22.5, 285/75R24.5 and 11R24.5.

“The deep-tread 712L offers advanced wear resistance, top-tier fuel-efficiency and traction and tough, durable construction,” said Tom Clauer, Yokohama’s senior manager of commercial and OTR product planning. “It’s designed for fleets to keep their trucks rolling for a long, long time.” Clauer said the 114R UWB is the successor to the RY407 UWB and will be available later in the year in size 445/50R22.5.
