RUGGED IN A SOPHISTICATED WAY
This great looking tyre is designed to provide the best balance between on-road and off-road performance. The Geolandar A/T-S (G012) tyre uses Yokohama's new silica-enhanced tread compound that combines sculpted shoulder blocks, rounded-edge intermediate blocks, and staggered centre blocks to blend on-road traction with off-road control.
Unwanted tyre noise can increase significantly when the tyre wears unevenly. The Geolandar A/T-S features rounded-edge intermediate blocks that have 3D pyramid-like zigzag sipes. This configuration helps reduce uneven wear as extra rigidity reduces block deformation under stress. These blocks are then arranged in a 5 pitch variation theme to reduce tyre noise to an absolute minimum.
Following exhaustive testing around the world Yokohama has formulated the very best A/T compound to date. The silica based tread compound not only offers superb grip in the wet but it also delivers improved tread mileage.
The patented "multi-step" grooves between the tread blocks is part of the secret to Geolandar A/T-S’s superb off-road traction. It helps clear mud and dirt to increase the tyre’s biting edges for enhanced traction on loose off-road surfaces. |
