Yokohama confirms interest in Goodyear OTR

Author: Chris Anthony Comments: 0
The RL-5K is Goodyear’s newest radial OTR tyre in the 45/65R45 size and is constructed to withstand the air pressure necessary to deliver an increased three-star load capacity, which translates to a 16% increase in load carrying capacity versus its predecessor.

Following reports that Yokohama is in “advanced talks” with Goodyear regarding the purchase of Goodyear’s OTR tyre business, Yokohama officials have released an official statement confirming that the Japanese company is interested in Goodyear OTR.
