Yokohama Tire’s new all-position waste and sanitation tire, the 506U, offers durability and tread life. The 506U, which replaces the MY627W Spec-2, is now available in a 315/80R22.5.
“The 506U delivers longer tread life, added durability, and reduced operating costs for urban sanitation trucks and on/off-highway operations,” said Tom Clauer, Yokohama’s senior manager of commercial product planning. “It’s specially designed for severe service vehicle operations that require a high load-carrying capacity per tire.”
Other benefits of the 506U include:
Enhanced durability: The 506U’s wider tread pattern – engineered for the demanding sanitation industry – incorporates a wide outside rib to resist tearing. Additionally, rock shield platforms throughout the center grooves reduce stone and debris penetration for improved casing life, durability, and retreadability. Plus, the 506U’s extra-thick sidewall helps prevent damage from curbs and potholes.
Longer tread life: An advanced tread compound resists scrubbing, cutting, and chipping for added tread life.
Premium casing: The 506U is highly retreadable. Its durable construction assures maximum retreadability and it also carries a six-year unlimited retread casing warranty.
Added traction: Zig-zag circumferential grooves enhance water evacuation to provide extra traction throughout the original tread life.
