| | | | Yokohama Rubber releases "C.drive2," a new high-performance eco tire for family cars in all classes, from small to large | | | Tokyo - The Yokohama Rubber Co., Ltd., has announced that it will release C.drive2, a new high-performance eco tire in its ".drive" series, in Europe in March 2010. C.drive2 comes in 26 sizes in the range of 14 to 17 inches, and the company plans to add 11 more sizes this summer. The tires will be exhibited at the Geneva International Motor Show 2010 in Switzerland beginning on March 2.
C.drive2 represents a basic change from the original C.drive model, Yokohama’s high-performance and-comfort tire, after an interval of six years. Retaining the basic concept behind the previous model, which is grounded in delivery of confidence in the rain and superb handling capabilities, C.drive2 was developed for a better wet grip while maintaining a low rolling resistance for the fuel efficiency. The handling stability under both dry and wet conditions has been heightened to meet the European safety requirement.
C.drive2 will fulfill the ".drive" series lineup, which also includes S.drive (high-performance sport tire), A.drive (all-round standard tire), and W.drive (winter tire) models. |  | |
