X One fits Yokohama winter tyres to fleet

European logistics firm X One Wholesale has fitted Yokohama winter tyres to its entire fleet of delivery vans.

The W*Drive WY01 tyres ensure the business has total mobility in all weather conditions.

Designed for businesses running vans and other light commercial vehicles, Yokohama says the tyres can operate in the most treacherous of winter conditions.

It features the 3 peak snowflake mark and has an optimised combination of directional tread design and compound materials, which is designed to deliver improved performance in the wet and on snowy or icy roads.

“We’re delighted that our winter van tyre has been selected by X One Wholesale,” comments Tony Valentine, fleet and national account manager, Yokohama HPT Ltd.

“After the challenging conditions that swept across Europe last winter and left many fleets stranded and unable to operate, our dedicated winter van tyre is proving to be a popular option for a growing number of fleets who are looking to avoid a repeat of any vehicle downtime.”

Delivery and servicing of the tyres, which are available in sizes from 14 – 16 inches, is being handled by Slough-based Tomato Tyres.
