Yokohama keeping van drivers on the road

For light commercial vehicle fleet operators, self-employed van drivers and small businesses, getting from one job to another in confidence is crucial. Durability and longevity are therefore a significant factor when choosing the right tyres for their vehicle. Acknowledging this, Yokohama has designed a its van tyre range to address the varying needs of operators in the segment.

One way to ensure year-round mobility in the UK is by fitting all-season tyres. Yokohama’s BluEarth-Van All-Season RY61 utilises the latest summer and winter tyre technologies, providing the highest levels of durability, wear resistance, and performance to cater to the high demands of van and light commercial vehicle drivers.

The tyre bears the three-peak mountain snowflake mark on the sidewalls, ensuring its performance and reliability is retained through every season. The RY61 is available in sizes 15”-17”.

In addition to all-season tyres, the BluEarth-Van RY55 is a tough, long-lasting and earth-friendly tyre – designed to withstand high mileage thanks to its tough tread properties, profile design and construction.

This tyre is available in sizes 14”-17”.
