There's never been a tire like the dB Super E-spec™-the flagship of Yokohama's eco-friendly line. Its groundbreaking use of Orange Oil and other naturally derived components significantly reduces the need for petroleum materials and creates an environmentally-friendly, fuel-efficient tire that never compromises on performance.
Low Rolling Resistance for Improved Fuel Economy
The unique Super Nano-Power Rubber Compound™ (SNPR) derived from Orange Oil, natural rubber and other key components is what gives the dB Super E-spec its low rolling resistance, thereby helping to improve gas mileagea benefit to both the pocketbook and the environment.
Superior Wet/Dry Traction
Yokohama's Super Nano-Power Rubber Compound operates in dual modessteady (straight driving) and active (cornering and braking) so you experience no compromises in grip or rolling resistance. At steady mode, when heat generation is constant, the compound works to ensure lower rolling resistance. During active mode, the properties of Orange Oil generate heat quickly to deliver better grip. Four Circumferential Grooves allow water to rapidly escape the tread
area for great wet traction. And the Twin Rail Stability Rib maintains road contact, improving lateral stability and uneven wear.
Lightweight Inner Liner
Our Advanced Inner Liner provides superior air retention, and weighs dramatically less than a conventional butyl liner. Lighter tires with better rolling resistance and air retention make for fewer trips to the pump.
Ultra-Quiet Road Manners
Five Pitch Tread Blocks are staggered to break up the pattern noise for an incredibly quiet ride.
Variable Tread Sipes sipes separate the tread ribs into 144 small blocks, increasing surface contact and reducing tread noise.
Sound Deflection Sidewall decreases road noise by creating vibrations that are at a different frequency than the automobile. |
