SANTA ANA, CA. – (Sept. 16, 2016) – Yokohama Tire Corporation’s (YTC) booth #7371 at MINExpo in Las Vegas, September 26-28, will be a goldmine for a wide range of off-the-road (OTR) tire offerings. YTC will feature nine OTR tires, including the all-new R69™ L5-S; three new tread patterns in its Y67™ line-up; and the RL47 prototype, a 57-inch radial. In addition, Yokohama will launch its Y Trax, a new tire data tracking software. The tire manufacturer will also have three commercial tires on display.
“MINExpo is the largest mining show in the world and is the best place to display our OTR tire line to our customers,” said Tim Easter, YTC director of off-the-road sales. “It only comes around every four years and attracts more than 50,000 top-notch industry attendees.”
Among the highlights at Yokohama’s booth:
- OTR tires, including:
- The all-new R69 L5-S, a 25-inch radial for loaders in underground mine applications
- The new Y67, a 15-inch bias tire in 24-, 32- and 36-ply for underground mining applications, and which is created for the smaller, low-seam category. There will also be a 20-inch Y67 on display.
- The Y69U™, a 25-inch bias tire for underground mining
- The RB42™, a 49-inch radial for dump trucks

Demonstration will be available to show how it collects and analyzes data to save on operational costs. Y Trax can calculate per-mile and treadlife costs, as well as predict wear and replacement demands. Additionally, it builds a photo history of each tire’s performance, monitors tire-related downtime and eliminates manual record-keeping.
