New radial snow tire is designed to give G-2 graders more traction and performance in winter conditions.

Yokohama Tire’s new RS02 snow tire promises enhanced traction in tough off-the-road conditions for G-2 graders.

Available in size 14.00R24, it offers “more bite on the ice,” according to Tom Clauer, Yokohama Tire senior manager of commercial and OTR product planning. “The RS02 is designed specifically for snow and ice service, featuring a unique winter compound and versatile tread pattern to make sure the job gets done, no matter the weather conditions.”

The tire boasts a specially formulated winter compound and hundreds of biting edges that combine to provide enhanced traction, as well as a large hexagonal bead bundle, which adds strength and eliminates slippage.
