Kenworth is offering a selection of all-position Yokohama tires for Kenworth heavy- and medium-duty conventional trucks, the company announced.
Kenworth customers can specify Yokohama’s 101ZL, 703ZL, 709ZL, MY507, RY023, RY617, and TY517 tires when ordering a new truck. The tires are available in several common sizes for on- and off-highway applications. Yokohama’s over-the-road tires are SmartWay-verified low rolling resistance tires and are designed for fuel efficiency.
“Truck tires are an integral part of any trucking operation, and Kenworth’s addition of Yokohama tires offers another fuel-efficient, cost-effective option for customers who purchase quality Kenworth heavy- and medium-duty trucks,” said Kurt Swihart, Kenworth marketing director.
