The tyre meets the European Union's requirements for winter tyres
Carries the 3PMSF (Three Peak Mountain Flake) symbol, which is awarded after the model in question has been thoroughly tested for snow grip.
Yokohama W Drive is a winter tyre belonging to the premium class designed for the passenger cars.
Outstanding performance on every kind of surface is ensured by the functional tread patterns, unique fuses shapes and the application of advanced rubber compound. Optimised grooves width between the blocks enables the outflow of the melting snow and ensures additional adhesion by the reinforced edge effect. The outflow of the melting snow and also maintenance of maximum tyre’s point of contact with the road bed on all kinds of surfaces is possible due to the optimal layout of the main longitudinal grooves. Original, three-dimensional shape of the fuses with polyhedral surface guarantees high performance on the dry, wet and snowy surface. Edge effect on the snowy and icy surfaces is reinforced maximally by the increased fuses’ density. Tread depth indexes on the main groove compose the additional safety measures. ‘Micro Silica’ with the particles smaller than the conventional, silica preserves stiffness and stability in high temperatures. This is the result of the strong polymers combined, although soft polymers were used. W Drive tyres compound works well in the wide range of temperatures ensuring optimal performance in various winter conditions. ‘Flexible polymer’ maintains softness and flexibility in the low temperatures.
ZERUMA™ is a special addition designed by YOKOHAMA improving the silica dispersion in the tyre. Silica compound ZERUMA™ lowers the dependence from temperature compared with the conventional mix method.
Asymmetric construction of the highly stiff tread guarantees excellent balance of performance on the dry, wet and snowy surfaces.
Longitudinal, original, three-dimensional grooves with polyhedral surface is a guarantee of a high performance on the dry, wet and snowy surfaces. W Drive tyre compound is appropriate for the wide range of temperature zones ensuring optimal performance in various winter conditions. Tread depth indexes on the main groove increase safety providing information.
Yokohama W Drive is a winter tyre designed for the passenger cars. Its’ affinity to the premium class ensures highest quality.
