Yokohama YK-CTX. FEATURES AND BENEFITS: All season performance; Longer-lasting tread life; Comfortable driving experience; Improved controllability; . OVERVIEW: The Yokohama YK-CTX is a highway terrain, all season tire made for SUVs. Yokohama offers a 60,000 mile treadwear warranty with this model.Better handling and maneuvering are guaranteed with this model. The model manages to achieve this with the asymmetric tread’s road contact. This significantly boosts steering responsiveness and driving stability throughout the drive. It enhances steering responses and accuracy while securing the structure against driving pressure. Additionally, the shoulder blocks help enhance cornering and maneuvering. The friction the footprint generates results in a shortened stopping distance.The tire promotes great all weather traction. The ideal tread design and the all season compound increase the tire’s traction in dry, wet, and winter-weather conditions. In other words, the ideal tread pattern generates biting edges to increase road grip, while the silica compound keeps the rubber flexible in changing temperatures. At the same time, circumferential grooves effectively eliminate water and slush from the footprint. They resist hydroplaning and ensure the tire’s safe performance, even on wet roads.Superb comfort levels are guaranteed thanks to the ideal footprint. The footprint features a variable pitch pattern, which helps keep road noise low. This pattern generates a special sound frequency while the tires are in motion. As a result, the tire negates sound waves before they can reach the vehicle’s cabin and ruin the passengers’ driving enjoyment. Better comfort provides an enjoyable driving experience.The Yokohama YK-CTX boosts its service life and usability. This is achieved with the wear-resistant compound and the stable footprint. They work together in order to prevent irregular and premature wear along the footprint. Stronger rubber materials decrease the overall treadwear rate, while the tread’s even pressure circulation avoids irregular wear. These improvements boost the tire’s overall service life.Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored before they are sold, the year of their manufacture will not shorten their service life.
