What brand of tire is Yokohama?
1 Answers
Yokohama, also known as Yokohama Tire, is a renowned Japanese tire brand. Here is relevant information about Yokohama: 1. Design Technology: Technology to reduce air resistance during driving. Yokohama has developed tire design technology that reduces air resistance during vehicle operation. This technology, as a new eco-friendly approach to decrease tire rolling resistance, improves the airflow around the tire during driving, thereby achieving fuel-saving environmental benefits. When a vehicle is in motion, irregular air currents form around the tires. Some of this air flows to the sides of the vehicle, increasing aerodynamic resistance. To address this phenomenon, Yokohama Rubber developed in 2010 a technology to examine airflow around tires under simulated driving conditions (normal tire rolling during driving) and applied this technology to entire vehicles, using it alongside wind tunnel tests in research and development. 2. Orange Oil Formula: Eco-friendly technology - the orange oil formula, which utilizes the natural component 'orange oil' to manufacture tires. This innovative technology extracts 'orange oil' from the peels of the commonly found fruit 'orange' and incorporates it into tires. Orange oil can soften rubber, enhancing the contact between the tire and the road surface to a certain extent. When the rubber closely adheres to the minute spaces on the road surface, the contact area increases, allowing for excellent anti-skid performance. The orange oil used as a raw material is consistently extracted from discarded orange peels from juice factories, making this a form of waste recycling that not only provides raw materials but also contributes significantly to environmental protection.
