Yokohama Geolandar H / T G056 is a versatile all-season tire designed for use on a wide range of vehicles. Owners of both passenger cars and SUVs and light trucks will be able to equip their cars with these tires. According to the manufacturer, the model provides exceptional handling in any weather without sacrificing durability.
The Yokohama Geolandar H / T G056 tire replaces the Yokohama G051 road model, produced in 2002, in the Geolandar range.
Model design features
Tread pattern Yokohama G056 Geolandar H / T. was created taking into account the peculiarities of operation in difficult road and weather conditions. Three-dimensional self-locking sipes stabilize the tread blocks, increase the traction and grip properties of the tire on winter roads and minimize the uneven wear of the tread, which entails a long service life.
All-season traction Yokohama Geolander G056
Sloping grooves at different angles and wide radial channels quickly squeeze water, mud, and snow slurry out of the contact patch, which effectively resists aquaplaning, providing responsive handling and safe driving in adverse weather conditions. The adaptive shoulder blocks form continuous outer ribs that keep the tire quiet. And the long service life of the Yokohama Geolander G056 provides an optimized contact patch.
Three-layer construction G056
Geolandar G056 is made from a quality silicone rubber compound with the addition of orange oil, which significantly increases the tire's mileage and handling.
All-weather long-liver
By purchasing the Yokohama G056 Geolandar Highway Terrain kit, be sure that the tires will cover more than one thousand kilometers and at the same time will maintain all their performance qualities until the last moment. After all, in what, in what, and longevity and thrift, the Japanese can not be denied.
In addition, rolling resistance and noise levels have been reduced to ensure that the tires meet European standards.
- M + S
M + S - marking, which stands for "Mud + Snow" ("Mud + Snow"). These are tires with increased traction and grip properties that perform well in off-road and muddy conditions.
- Low noise level
The tire produces less noise when driving due to the special tread pattern.
- Controllability
The special tread design of the tire provides the car with excellent handling.
- Fuel economy
Fuel consumption is reduced due to the special rubber composition and tread pattern.
- Comfort
The tires provide a high level of ride comfort.
- Increased resource
The longer service life of the tire, its high wear resistance.
- Road tires
Designed for driving on hard asphalt surfaces.
New tread for confident driving
The new tread features four deep wide grooves and a large number of lateral grooves to quickly drain water from under the contact patch, which provides confident driving and quick braking on wet surfaces.
Controllability and exchange rate stability
3D sipes provide excellent handling and directional stability for a heavy full-size SUV on paved roads.
Long service life, silence, and comfort
Additional nylon belt cover, thicker sidewalls, 3D sipes significantly increase tire life. The 5-step tread block design reduces noise and allows you to enjoy quiet and quiet driving on the paved road.
Longitudinal ribs
The center section of the treadmill in this tire is represented by three annular ribs of the same width. These tread elements are responsible for stabilizing the movement of the vehicle when driving in a straight line. Due to the fact that the edges of the blocks, from which the longitudinal ribs are formed, are located at different angles, tires significantly improve traction, allow you to confidently pick up speed and brake safely.
Protector
The trio of annular tread ribs is complemented by a pair of narrower ribs that are located in the shoulder area. They reduce the noise generated and provide a more stable wheel position when maneuvering. Also, additional continuous ribs in the shoulder areas slow down rubber wear, because take on some of the dynamic loads, thereby reducing the pressure on the rest of the tread elements.
Damage protection
To reduce the likelihood of accidental tears and deformations, a rigid three-layer carcass was used in the Yokohama Geolandar H / T G056 tire. Its construction consists of a layer of nylon fibers, a set of metal belts, and a special shielding layer. All of these components work together to make the rubber more durable and impact resistant. Critical overloads that arise when driving on bumpy asphalt and off-road conditions are instantly absorbed by the frame. This not only increases the tire life but also provides additional comfort while driving.
Eco-friendly blend
The compound does not contain carcinogenic and toxic impurities. Its recipe includes only natural ingredients that meet environmental standards. Concentrated silica gives rubber constant elasticity at a wide range of temperatures - both in severe frosts and in the exhausting summer heat.
Advantages:
- At the same pressure, softer AT rubber
- Probably less consumption
Disadvantages:
- Not a bit quieter than Hankook Dynapro ATM
- Traction is worse, such as starting from gravel/sand on a secondary road when entering the main road.
- Slightly worse on snow/ice
Why G056:
- new tire model - manufacturers are generally considered to have improved tire performance over the years
- new model of tires - there is no risk of getting 5-year-old tires, it is not known where and how lying
- how well-known these tires are produced only in Thailand, there is no lottery with luck, no luck (like France-Poland at Michelin)
- the manufacturer declares them to be very quiet and comfortable
When changing from AT (off-road) to HT (universal): better handling, grip, roll-forward, quieter / softer, to the detriment of off-road qualities.
The sound of the G056 depends on the condition of the asphalt, it changes from "quiet" at ideal, to "noisy" at normal.
