Yokohama to Debut New Commercial Tires

Three new tires and two new sizes will be introduced at TMC 2020. 

Yokohama Tire has announced plans to launch three new commercial truck tires at the upcoming TMC show in Atlanta, Georgia, February 24-26: the all-position 504C and 115R, and the urban pick-up/delivery 714R. 

The company will also debut expanded sizes for the 715R open shoulder regional drive tire and the 114R regional haul ultra-wide-base trailer tire.

The 504C is an aggressive all-position radial engineered to handle the punishment of on-and-off-highway applications. “Its improved retreadability and longer overall casing life make it the perfect performer for jobs that go beyond where the pavement ends,” said Tom Clauer, Yokohama’s senior manager of commercial and OTR product planning. 

The 504C, which replaces the MY507, will be available in May in sizes 11R22.5 (H) and 11R24.5 (H).

The 714R was designed for pickup and delivery fleets. “With its wide shoulder grooves, which provide outstanding wet and snow traction, you’ll never miss a stop,” said Clauer. The 714R will be available this summer in sizes 225/70R19.5 (14) and 245/70R19.5 (16).

New sizes for the 715R: 295/75R22.5, 285/75R24.5 and 11R24.5, in addition to the already available 11R22.5.

The 114R UWB will be available this spring in a new size – 455/55R/22.5 – as well as the current 445/50R/22.5.
