Lifetime Comfort
Comfort should be a top priority when it comes to tyre development – but not at the expense of sporting features. C.drive™ promises to deliver high performance and superb comfort from first to last. YOKOHAMA’s experience, research and computer aided design have combined to create a powerful configuration of blocks and grooves for advanced tread stress relief that virtually reduces uneven tread wear, thereby dramatically reducing noise. C.drive™ – For peace and quiet anytime you drive.Confidence in the Rain
Total driving pleasure means being able to rely on the performance of your car and especially on your tyres in the most extreme conditions. C.drive™ takes the wet in its stride with its definitive wet grip and aquaplaning performance. Eye-catching quadruple straight main grooves and lateral sub-grooves are able to flush away water at high speeds, while the newly developed micro-flexible tread compound grips the road surface at the nano level creating superior traction in all conditions. C.drive™ – Total driving confidence for you and your family.Full Logic Tread Pattern
The European Union has introduced the EU Tyre Label by Regulation (No. 1222/2009) identically and bindingly for all EU member states. It applies to passenger car tyres, light commercial vehicle tyres and heavy commercial vehicle tyres produced after 01.07.2012.
Three different areas are tested: rolling resistance, wet grip and the rolling noise the tyre makes on the road.
The following are not affected by the EU Tyre Label: retreaded tyres, professional off-road tyres, racing tyres, tyres with additional devices to improve traction such as spiked tyres, T-type emergency tyres, special tyres for fitting to vehicles first registered before 1 October 1990, tyres with a maximum authorised speed of 80 km/h, tyres for rims with a nominal diameter of 254 mm or less or 635 mm or more.
With this regulation, the European Union is pursuing the goal of promoting economic and ecological efficiency in road traffic as well as increasing road safety on the one hand, and on the other hand, granting consumers more product transparency and at the same time serving as an active decision-making aid.
Already during the incorporation, experts criticise the fact that the EU Tyre Label unfortunately only shows a few product characteristics. Apart from rolling resistance, wet grip and rolling noise, which are the main focus of EU tyre labelling, tyres have much more important and safety-relevant product characteristics, such as aquaplaning properties, driving stability, service life, braking properties on dry and wet roads, behaviour in wintry conditions, etc.
Tyre manufacturers point out that test results from various institutions and journals remain an important information medium for the end consumer. These tests usually focus on further safety-relevant product characteristics besides the EU standard qualifications for tyre labelling, which are always important for the final customer.
