Westowne Mazda Tire Centre

The Culmination of Yokohama Winter Traction Knowhow. • Two compound elements combine to eliminate the thin film of water that causes slipping: – Absorptive carbon flakes use capillary action to draw water away from the surface. – Shelled microbubbles absorbany remaining water & improvecontact with the ice & snow surface. – As the tire rotates, the water is expelled, prepared for its next contact with the road surface • The silica with Zeruma agent compound enhances tire tread flexibility in very cold conditions, enabling it to grip the road. • 3-D pyramid-shaped sipes interlock to maintain strong tread blocks, improving block stiffness during acceleration, braking & cornering. Multiple edges offer better grip & control. • Groove-in-groove design along the edges of the tread blocks controls uneven wear by dispersing stress & heat. • Micro-diagonal grooves on the initial tread surface provide immediate performance on slippery surfaces. • 4 wide straight grooves accelerate water expulsion & improve directional stability for improved handling. • Extended centre blocks reduce noise & improve braking & handling stability. • Slush grooves on the outside blocks force slush & snow away from the centre of the tread.
