# W.drive – Premium Winter Performance by Yokohama ## Engineered for Ultimate Winter Control The Yokohama W.drive (V902B) is a top-tier winter tire designed to deliver confident handling across diverse winter conditions. Whether facing snow-covered roads, slush, rain, or occasional dry stretches, this tire ensures reliable grip and stability throughout the colder months. ## Advanced Tread Design for All Winter Challenges Featuring an asymmetric tread pattern with high rigidity, the W.drive balances performance on dry, wet, and snowy surfaces. Multiple wide grooves efficiently channel water and slush, significantly reducing the risk of aquaplaning. Independent tread blocks with variable stiffness enhance cornering grip on dry pavement while remaining flexible enough to bite into snow for improved traction. ## 3D Sipe Technology for Enhanced Traction Innovative 3D sipes with a polygonal surface design interlock under load, maintaining tread block stability for better dry and wet handling. This same structure increases edge density across the tread, multiplying biting edges for superior grip on snow and ice—key for safer starts, stops, and cornering in winter conditions. ## Smart Rubber Compound for Year-Round Responsiveness The specialized rubber blend uses flexible polymers and micro-silica for consistent performance in fluctuating temperatures. Thanks to Yokohama’s exclusive ZERUMA™ technology, silica is evenly dispersed for optimal grip, braking, and handling—no matter how harsh the winter gets. ## Built to Fit a Wide Range of Vehicles Available in sizes from 14” to 19”, the W.drive covers a broad range of passenger vehicles. With speed ratings up to V and reinforced load options on select sizes, it’s suited for modern sedans, SUVs, and performance vehicles alike. ## Run-Flat Ready with ZPS Technology Equipped with Yokohama’s Zero Pressure System (ZPS), these tires feature reinforced sidewalls and a supportive bead design, allowing continued driving for a limited distance after air loss—enhancing safety and convenience when a puncture occurs..
