The efficiency of a tyre is greatly dependent on the rubber mixture of the tread. The safety of the tyre on dry and wet surfaces is enhanced above all by the silica content. Even distribution of the silicates and the avoidance of clumping require chemical processes which ensure the correct mix within the polymer system.

ZERUMA original plasticizers offer better silicate distribution. With the ZERUMA silicate mixing technology, YOKOHAMA has succeeded in developing a completely new plasticizer which ensures optimum distribution of the silicates. The result is a homogeneous rubber mixture with outstanding wet road characteristics. This patented technology has been used in production with great success.
Optimum Wet Road Behaviour
Optimised water displacement guarantees excellent aquaplaning characteristics. The result: high performance tyres with impressive wet road characteristics.
