/PRZWT/Guangrao, May 22, 2024 - From May 15th to 17th, the three-day 14th China (Guangrao) International Rubber Tire and Auto Parts Exhibition was grandly held. At this rubber tire professional exhibition with the largest number of exhibitors and the largest exhibition area in the world, Yokohama Tire (formerly known as Yokohama Tire) made a stunning appearance with its various tire products, attracting the attention of many industry leaders, association experts, media, customers and exhibitors.
In terms of passenger car tires, UKHOMA has brought a variety of heavyweight products under the global flagship tire brand ADVAN series, energy-saving and environmentally friendly tire Weichi series, SUV ▪ pickup truck tire GEOLANDAR series and winter tire Bingyue series.
The three tires on display in the Nakajima exhibition area are the star products launched by Yokohama this year. Among them, "ADVAN SportEV (pattern model: V108) " is aimed at high-end electric vehicles, which can meet the higher requirements of new energy models for tire rolling resistance, quietness, wear resistance, grip and other technical performance. "GEOLANDAR X-CV (pattern model: G057) " is a new dimensional HT tire specially developed for high-performance crossover SUVs. It has excellent high-speed and sports performance, which better improves the stability during high-speed driving and greatly increases the driving pleasure. The new high-end winter tire "Bingyue G075" adopts a unique 3-D triple groove and twill groove, which further enhances the snow performance of the tire and fully corresponds to a variety of winter roads.
For off-highway tires, Yokohama exhibited the RB42 pattern specially designed for rigid dump trucks. Rigid dump trucks are generally used in open-pit mining operations and need to travel relatively long distances at high speed under heavy loads. Therefore, tires must have high heat resistance and wear resistance, and in some cases, high cutting resistance. The RB42 pattern has an outer diameter of 2.6m, a single tire weighs 1.3 tons, and a single tire has a maximum load of 27 tons. Z-shaped deep grooves and non-directional pattern blocks are able to operate on muddy and rocky surfaces, providing good traction for vehicles. In addition, the larger center block pattern can disperse the pressure applied when grounding, thus reducing the cutting of the tread and enhancing the overall wear resistance and cutting resistance.
According to the Yokohama Rubber Group's new mid-term business plan "YX2026", the goal of the passenger car tire business is to maximize the sales ratio of high value-added products including the global flagship brand ADVAN, the SUV and pickup truck tire brand GEOLANDAR, and winter tires. Yokohama will strive to expand the new car supporting business, strengthen product development, further expand sales network channels, innovate promotional methods, and open up a wider market, and continue to provide Chinese consumers with high-quality, high-performance tire products and rich driving pleasure.
