Yokohama has launched the BluEarth 109L and BluEarth 109L ultra wide base – two trailer tires designed for fuel efficiency.
Available in March in the U.S. and Canada, the two SmartWay-verified tires were manufactured at Yokohama's new plant in West Point Miss. The 109L is offered in four sizes - 295/75R22.5, 11R22.5, 285/75R24.5 and 11R24.5 - while the ultra wide based version will be offered in a 445/50R22.5.
“Fuel-efficiency is always top-of-mind for fleets and drivers,” said Tom Clauer, Yokohama Tire's manager of commercial and OTR product planning. “Both the 109L and 109L UWB have Yokohama's environmentally friendly BluEarth designation, which means they've been engineered for the utmost fuel-savings and performance.”

The U.S. economy didn't expand as much as originally estimated in the final quarter of 2017, but it still turned in a solid performance, according to a new Commerce Department report, while a separate report on consumer confidence showed it was at its highest level in more than a decade.
The nation's gross domestic product (GDP) expanded at an annual rate of 2.5% in the final three months of last year, down from an originally estimated performance of 2.6%, but was in line with analysts' expectations. This widest messure of economic performance compares to a better pace of 3.2% in the third quarter of the year.
The deceleration in GDP growth in the fourth quarter reflected a downturn in private inventory investment, according to the department.
TD Economics Senior Economist Leslie Preston, Senior Economist described the report as “rather uneventful.”
“A slight downward revision to growth in the fourth quarter does not change the story for the economy, she said. “Real GDP growth still ran at a healthy pace in fourth quarter, and for the most part, momentum has carried through into 2018.”
Preston noted growth has been well-above the economy's potential growth rate of around 2% and is consistent with ongoing declines in the unemployment rate, which at 4.1% is already below its estimated long-run level.
Other economists believe the economy has slowed further in the current quarter with recent numbers showing retail sales, home sales, durable goods orders and industrial production all declining in January. Also the nation's trade deficit widened last month as exports fell and imports grew.
