Yokohama Tires !

Wednesday, June 16th, 2010

If you didn’t already know, Yokohama Used Tires & Yokohama New Tires is a Tire Company that is based out of Tokyo, Japan; this is how it’s really spelled : Yokohama Gomu Kabushiki-gaisha

The company was started in 1917 in a joint venture that was between Yokohama Cable Manufacturing & B.F. Goodrich. When 1969 rolled around, the company finally decided to expand to the United States & rename themselves “Yokohama Tire Corporation”. The driving force behind this tremendous rise was the Aspec A300. 

Ever since they made their presence here in the United States, they participate in the ALMS (The AmericanLe Mans Series) & Red Line Time Attack. They are the official supplier tire supplier for the World Touring Car Championship .. which is a pretty big deal, right? 

Off to the races,

Can I Enhance the Life of my Used Tires ?

Tuesday, June 1st, 2010

When it comes to New Tires, everyone is satisfied with the performance, handling, & things like that. To be completely honest, if you have Used Tires , you can make them just as good as if you’ve bought new ones if you follow these easy steps: 

1. Keep the Alignment aligned

Alignment was designed to improve handling, cornering, & tire tread. 

2. Switch Tire Manufacturers

If you have Hankook Used Tires , I suggest you switch to Yokohama Used Tires because they will last longer & are built to carry a heavier load better than other Manufacturer’s Tires.

3. Pressure of Inflation.

Even though the front tires usually have a less PSI than the ones in the back, you will wear tread more evenly if you drive harder than longer. When you are planning to  drive for a long while, just lower the pressure a little on each of your tires & you should be just fine. 

Hope this helps,
