Yokohama Launches C.drive2
Bridgestone: New Potenza S001 UHP Sport Tyre
Yokohama Launches C.drive2
 Yokohama
has announced that it will release C.drive2, a new high-performance
eco tyre 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
tyres 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 tyre, 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 tyre), A.drive
(all-round standard tyre), and W.drive (winter tyre) models.
