Three Yokohama medium truck tires have been approved by the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) SmartWay program, which promotes cleaner, more efficient truck technologies.

Yokohama’s RY617 steer tire, 703ZL drive tire and RY587MC2 trailer tire met the SmartWay program’s rolling resistance criteria, the tiremaker said. With the approval, the tires can be used on trucks that are SmartWay-certified.

“Yokohama is honored to be recognized by the EPA for our efforts to produce truck tires that help save fuel and protect the environment,” said John Cooney, Yokohama’s director of commercial sales. “Receiving approval into the SmartWay program reinforces our pledge to our commercial customers to produce the most technologically-advanced tires on the market.” (Courtesy of Tire Review)
