The Yokohama Geolandar X-AT is an extreme all-terrain tire designed for pickup trucks, SUVs, and SUVs. New for 2019, more aggressive off-road than Geolandar A / T, but superior in ride comfort to Geolandar M / T tires.
Tires Yokohama Geolandar X-AT G016 fit into a relatively new segment of the R / T class tires - a kind of "hybrids" for the road and rough terrain. They come in a variety of sidewall designs, giving consumers the ability to choose the look they like best. But these are not all the advantages.
Off-road traction of Geolandar X-AT is enhanced by large "dynamic" shoulder blocks, which increase the edge effect, prevent stones from getting stuck in the tread and prevent dirt from sticking. In addition, angled center blocks provide extra strength and traction.
Off-road durability and improved puncture resistance are the results of the manufacturer's proprietary Geo-Shield technology, says a Shina.Guide technician. Thanks to it, Yokohama Geolandar XAT tires have multi-layer sidewalls and a reliable internal structure. The model uses the Yokohama HD2 compound with a triple polymer compound, formulated to provide tire resistance to cuts and chips, and to significantly extend tire life.
The Geolandar X-AT tread pattern with zigzag grooves is focused on improving mechanical and acoustic comfort. A quiet, comfortable ride is ensured by the Yokohama G016's zig-zag grooves that interrupt airflow, limiting pattern, and road noise.
Tire rubber is made up of a mixture of three types of polymers with different properties. The technology used in this tire improves sidewall durability, flexibility at low temperatures and provides additional protection against deformation. The sophisticated tread architecture contains components in the shape of three-layer pyramids that increase the rigidity of the tire edges and surfaces, which is especially important for efficient water removal in adverse road conditions. In particular, the deep grooves provide excellent maneuverability and protection from aquaplaning in wet terrain.
Advantages of a tire for off-road vehicles Geolander X AT:
- Improved rubber grip off-road is achieved by tread blocks that are optimized for extreme road contact and self-cleaning. In addition, the deep tread on the shoulders and sidewalls is not only aesthetically pleasing but also provides excellent sidewall protection and aids in cross-country riding.
- Long-lasting performance is assured by Yokohama's new triple polymer compound rubber, which is specially formulated for exceptional wear and traction while resisting cuts and chips that can shorten the life of other off-road tires.
- Exceptional durability to withstand impacts even in the most severe off-road conditions is built-in thanks to the new Yokohama GEO-SHIELD construction, which features a full nylon cover, three-layer construction, and an extra thick layer of sidewall protection. Acoustic comfort is achieved through a tread design that is optimized to reduce noise.
Rain
A wet road can be a lot of surprises. Its danger lies in the inability of the asphalt to absorb water, as a result of which a wet film forms on the road surface, which significantly impairs adhesion. And puddles are a real danger to traffic. Be that as it may, Yokohama's X-AT was able to guarantee confidence in these situations thanks to the unique tread pattern. It quickly drains water from the tire-to-road patch through a network of grooves and sipes, preventing loss of grip on the hard road surface.
Off-road
Off-road performance thanks to dynamic shoulder blocks and 3-layer polyester Geo-Shield sidewalls. The tread strength is reinforced with three polyester layers, two steel layers, and one all-nylon carcass layer. In addition to technological and engineering developments, the tires can be depressurized to drive more efficiently in mud and rocky surfaces.
Yokohama Geolandar X-AT are premium off-road tires. They have a rather complex structure, the inner part is reinforced with two steel straps that are embedded in a double layer cover, together with nylon threads that are wound around the reinforcement in a spiral. This guarantees stability and driving comfort, as well as excellent rubber grip, even on rough terrain. The optimized tire shape improves the wear resistance of the tread surface, and the resulting stiffness provides high performance and safer handling, which can guarantee a faster steering response. The Yokohama Geolander X AT tires does not need to be installed in any particular orientation, which greatly simplifies their installation.
Yokohama Geolender X AT off-road tires is adapted to the most difficult driving conditions. The constituent products are made from high-quality polymers. Their production technology is based on the knowledge accumulated over the years of selling off-road wheels. Depending on the intended use of this model, the tires were tested on the Daigo track in Japan to test the performance on rough terrain, or at the Nürburgring in Germany to test their performance in difficult weather conditions. As a result, tires have gained significant acceptance among drivers, especially owners of 4WD vehicles.
Yokohama tires are supplied with Japanese quality, providing a safe and comfortable driving experience. The presented brand is one of the largest tire manufacturers in the world. The company produces premium tires for passenger cars, SUVs, trucks, as well as agricultural and industrial vehicles. Thanks to the use of high-quality materials and strict quality control procedures at every stage of production, Yokohama tires are valued by drivers around the world.
Guarantee
The Japanese company gives a 45,000-mile tread warranty. This confirms that the tire meets all the requirements of heavy vehicles with a high center of gravity.
Output
The Yokohama Geolandar X-AT is a durable tire. Yokohama's Geolandar X-AT is an exceptional choice if you want a cross between an all-terrain tire and a dirt tire. It is a spectacular, functional, and well-designed tire that proves the right choice.
