Yokohama Tire’s newest addition to the Y67™ off-the-road line-up is now available to underground mine operators. The Y67 comes in three new tread patterns proven to provide the traction needed for optimal performance and is available in sizes 36×11-15 24-ply, 32×15-15 28-ply, 35×15-15 32-ply and 38×16-15 36-ply.

“The Y67 was created for the smaller, low-seam category and provides outstanding durability,” said Tom Clauer, Yokohama Corporate Manager of commercial and OTR product planning. “This means customers can expect a longer service life with less downtime.”

Benefits of the Y67 include:

• Cut and chip resistance for excellent wear and durability thanks to an advanced tread composition, while a non-directional tread design provides needed traction on tough, rocky underground surfaces
• Great balance between cut resistance and traction while providing superior tread life due to an optimised rubber-to-void ratio
• Enhanced performance in high-pressure applications made possible by dual bead construction that makes the use of a core optional, which reduces costs and balances the required strength of the bead and carcass.
