Automotive Components
Tires for passenger vehicles
We have a lineup of tires for a
variety of car models including
sports cars, sedans, SUVs, and
minivans.
This lineup also includes the
new product ADVAN dB that is a
premium comfort tire.
The goal was to achieve an
unprecedented level of silent
performance. Refinements to
achieve this level of silence change
the very ambience of the cabin.*1

Tires for trucks and buses
We have a lineup of tires that offers
not only basic functions such as
economic efficiency, durability,
and safety, but that also matches
use conditions including seasonal
conditions and road conditions.
The truck and bus tires 710R
features maximized abrasion
resistance performance and
uneven wear resistance
performance, and aims to improve
safety when there is an empty load
in rainy conditions.
Tires for construction machinery and industrial machinery
We have a lineup of tires for giant dump trucks, scrapers that level the ground, wheel loaders that carry dirt, and dozers that conduct earth removal work. The rigid dump truck tire RB42 for construction and mining demonstrate excellent abrasion resistance and traction on soft ground and swampy ground.
Tires for agricultural machinery and forestry machinery
These tires are manufactured and
sold by the Alliance Tire Group*2
and used for tractors, harvesters,
combines and so on.
The FarmPro II is the world’s first
VF flotation tire offers the
possibility to be operated at 30%
lower inflation pressure as a
conventional flotation tire. Low
inflation pressure ensures wide
footprint resulting in minimum soil
compaction, better traction and
enhanced fuel efficiency.

Hose for construction machinery
This is a hydraulic hose for construction machinery and industrial machinery. The Versatran hose in the photo is for construction machinery and it is in conformance with overseas standards (SAE, EN). It is characterized by its flexibility from the optimization of materials and its low minimum bending radius. In addition, cover rubber that supports flame resistant standards (MSHA) has been used.
Petroleum, Mining, Construction, Aerospace, and Sports-related
Sealants for construction
This material is used to fill the gaps in structures to improve the airtightness and waterproof performance of buildings. The new product “Hamatite SC-DM2” is a polysulfide sealant for joints of concrete and tile floor (or dirt floor), and because it hardens faster than products up until now, it has enabled shorter construction periods. The product has a high level of hardness and it excels in weatherability and oil and chemical resistance thanks to the unique compounding technologies that are used.
Component for aircraft (drinking water tank)
This is a drinking water tank for an aircraft. It has been manufactured by wrapping thread such as glass or carbon fiber impregnated with plastic such as epoxy above an inner liner that has been molded seamlessly, and it meets high resistance to pressure and acceleration while having a low weight. It has been manufactured with materials that are suitable for drinking water under standards such as the US FDA and NSF-61.
Marine hoses
These are hoses for connecting tankers anchored offshore and onshore facilities and transporting crude oil. Since the hoses are installed in the special environment of the ocean, abundant experience and advanced technical capabilities are required for design that fulfills durability requirements in order to withstand severe storms such as typhoons. There are only a very few companies around the world capable of designing and manufacturing marine hoses.
Fenders
Yokohama Rubber has developed the air fenders that are currently being used broadly around the world. We first manufactured and sold a product in compliance with international standards in 2003, and we developed the world’s largest air fender with a diameter of 6 m in 2017. We have focused on being the first in the world with these products.
Hoses
Yokohama Rubber sells high-pressure hoses for various machine tools. The GT420 with a maximum use pressure of 42MPa has been added to the “GT Series”, hoses for water and grout used for ground improvement. The hose structure has excellent ultra-high pressure performance and a hose cover with high abrasion resistance has been used to prevent external damage.
Golf products
The PRGR Co., Ltd.* golf products exploit outstanding design technologies and materials technologies fostered in aircraft and aerospace fields. The Q is a new club based on a new concept that makes golf more enjoyable and it easier to improve a score by helping to save shots from unfavorable positions. It is a piece of all-round equipment that will help amateur golfer get a better score.
