About Yokohama PROFORCE RY01 750R16 12PR

The RY01 is a standard-rib light-truck tyre developed with emphasis on wear resistance and wet braking performance. Yokohama describes the RY01 as a tyre for light trucks that combines durability, wet-surface grip and wear resistance for delivery and transport requirements in urban environments. The tread incorporates an SC sipe to help reduce uneven wear, while a specially developed profile is designed to reduce stress on the tyre. A Sidewall Protector also helps provide protection against sidewall damage. 

7.50R16 Tyre Size

The 7.50R16 designation identifies a commercial radial tyre with a nominal section width of 7.50 inches and compatibility with a 16-inch wheel. The RY01 7.50R16 12PR specification has an overall diameter of approximately 804 mm and is approved for rim widths from 5.5 to 6.0 inches. 

12PR Construction

The 12PR designation identifies the tyre's ply-rating classification. The RY01 is available in 7.50R16 with 12PR construction, providing a commercial-vehicle specification intended for light-truck applications. 

121/120M Load and Speed Rating

The exact Yokohama RY01 7.50R16 12PR specification is listed with a 121/120M load and speed designation. Load index 121 corresponds to 1450 kg per tyre in single fitment, while load index 120 corresponds to 1400 kg per tyre in dual fitment. The M speed symbol corresponds to a maximum rated speed of 130 km/h.

Tube-Type Construction

The RY01 7.50R16 12PR is specified as T/T, meaning Tube Type. It should therefore be installed using the correct compatible tube, flap and rim assembly according to the vehicle and tyre manufacturer's requirements. Yokohama's official specifications identify the RY01 7.50R16 12PR as Tube Type. 

Wear Resistance

Wear resistance is one of the primary design characteristics of the RY01. Yokohama describes the model as a wear-resistant standard-rib tyre for light trucks, making it suitable for commercial vehicles that accumulate regular road mileage. 

SC Sipe Design

The RY01 incorporates an SC sipe designed to reduce uneven wear. The sipe remains part of the tread design to support more consistent wear characteristics during commercial operation. 

Stress-Reducing Profile

A newly developed profile is used to reduce strain caused by stress within the tyre. This construction is intended to support durability during regular light-truck operation. 

Sidewall Protection

The RY01 features a Sidewall Protector designed to provide additional protection against sidewall damage. This is useful for commercial vehicles operating in urban delivery and transport environments where contact with curbs and road edges can occur. 

Wet-Road Performance

Wet braking performance is one of the stated characteristics of the RY01. Yokohama positions the tyre for light-truck applications requiring a combination of wet-road grip, durability and wear resistance. 

Commercial and Delivery Applications

The RY01 is designed for light trucks and commercial vehicles involved in delivery and transport operations. Its rib-type tread, durable construction and wear-focused design make it suited to regular paved-road commercial use.
