Yokohama Tire announces availability of 714R drive tire

July 1, 2020
The 714R is an open shoulder drive tire designed for regional pickup and delivery vocations.

Yokohama Tire’s all-new 714R is designed to perform year-round. Engineered for urban pick-up/delivery applications, the open shoulder drive tire, which debuted at the TMC show in February, is now available in sizes 225/70R19.5 (14) and 245/70R19.5 (16).

“The 714R was engineered to deliver all-weather traction, significantly longer wear, and outstanding fuel efficiency,” said Tom Clauer, senior manager of commercial and OTR product planning, Yokohama. “Each are important characteristics our regional pickup and delivery customers need.”

Features of the 714R include:

  • Traction: Open shoulder grooves provide traction in wet or snow conditions.
  • Tread life: A newly designed wide tread pattern controls the ground contact pressure to deliver long, original tread life. Plus, tie-bar connectors control block movement to minimize heel/toe wear.
  • Construction: Funnel-shaped step grooves prevent stones and other debris from reaching the bottom of the groove where casing damage can occur.
  • Operation: Yokohama’s advanced compound provides significantly lower rolling resistance for improved fuel efficiency.
