Features and Benefits: Temporary spare tire; All season traction; Increased handling; Yokohama Y870B TiresThe Yokohama Y870B is an all season tire made for passenger cars and SUVs. This is a temporary spare tire. It was designed to be smaller than regular tires to save on trunk space when the tire is not in use. This reduced physical spare comes wi... moreth its drawbacks, as it decreases the strength of the structure compared to regular tires. Still, as the tire is only for temporary use, it can handle the driving and load pressure well. Temporary spare tires are not meant to be used indefinitely. They are for emergency use when one of the regular tires gets damaged. The tread design's consistent road contact greatly improves its controllability. This allows the tire to boost steering responsiveness and driving stability throughout the drive. In other words, it is able to offer quick and precise steering responses to the driver's commands. On the other hand, the structure keeps the ideal shape and stability under driving pressure. This combination ensures the driver's control over the vehicle at all times. The Yokohama Y870B offers ideal traction in dry, wet, and light winter conditions. The tread design and the all season compound work together to achieve this. They grip the road surface with extra biting edges, while the compound keeps the tire pliable throughout the year. This ensures the tire's secure performance in various weather conditions. This tire model was manufactured as the original equipment tire of select Subaru vehicles. This is a bias ply or diagonal tire. Due to the tire's internal construction and size, it is possible that the tire will look deformed. Smaller diagonal tires do not have reinforced constructions that can keep the tire from deforming. The bias construction and the small tire's non-reinforced internal structure allow the tire to fold in when it is deflated or not properly inflated. This is not constructional damage or an issue; it is a normal occurrence with such tires. In such cases, the tire needs to be mounted and inflated to the proper PSI or, in some instances, an inner tube needs to be added. The proper PSI and the inner tube are able to maintain the tire's ideal shape, preventing the bias plies from looking deformed. This ensures their performing safety and durability. The photo is a representation of the tire's possible deformation, it does not represent the specific tire model, size, tread pattern and application. Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long
