Fullerton, California - Yokohama Tire Corp. plans to launch its 703ZL truck tyre at the Technology & Maintenance Council´s annual meeting Feb. 6-8 in Tampa, Florida.
The tyre is part of Yokohama's Z.environment line, which is designed to use high technology for tyres that cause less of an environmental impact, the company said.
"The Z.environment tyre line incorporates optimum tread designs, compounds and casing design to create a tyre that has longer first tread life, longer casing life and low rolling resistance," said John Cooney, director of commercial sales for Fullerton-based Yokohama. "These features result in reduced material consumption, reduced pollution and contribute to the health of our environment."
The 703ZL has a 1-inch tread depth and low rolling resistance, Yokohama said. The tyre also is designed for improved cut- and chipping-resistance.
