Behind the Design: How Yokohama Tire’s GEOLANDAR A/T4® Adds Style and Strength to the Mazda CX-5

Every tire has a story—and for Yokohama Tire’s GEOLANDAR A/T4, that story starts long before it hits the pavement. Behind the clean tread design and quiet ride is a team of engineers obsessed with one question: How can a tire be both strong and stylish?

The answer led to one of the most defining details of the A/T4—its Dual Sidewall Protectors, a feature that blends engineering precision with design artistry.

Where Design Meets Durability

In Yokohama’s testing facility, engineers set out to rethink what a tire shoulder could do. They knew drivers wanted protection from real-world hazards—curbs, trail edges, debris—but they also wanted something that looked bold on the road.

That thinking became the foundation for the Dual Sidewall Protectors. One side was sculpted for an aggressive, off-road aesthetic; the other, for a clean, sophisticated look. Both sides were built with reinforced rubber layers that absorb impact and resist sidewall damage.

It’s not just about performance—it’s about giving drivers a choice in personality.

Tested for the Real World

When the A/T4 was put through its paces, engineers didn’t just test tread wear or traction. They tested endurance—how well the sidewalls could hold up against everyday abuse.

Curbs, potholes, sharp gravel—they threw it all at the tire. The result was a design tough enough for off-road punishment yet refined enough for the city streets, the Mazda CX-5 thrives on.

That’s the difference between adding a feature and perfecting one.

Strength That Complements Style

You can see it and feel it. On the road, the A/T4’s sturdy shoulders give the CX-5 a confident stance. The design catches light differently from each angle, giving your vehicle a sharper, more purposeful look—while protecting what matters most beneath the surface.

Available in 15- to 24-inch sizes, Yokohama Tire’s GEOLANDAR A/T4 gives Mazda CX-5 drivers a tire that looks as strong as it performs—because it was designed that way from the start.

The Art of Strength

The GEOLANDAR A/T4 wasn’t built in a day—it was built from years of listening to drivers who wanted a tire that could do it all without compromise. From concept to construction, every line, layer, and curve has a purpose.

That’s the story behind its strength—and why your Mazda CX-5 deserves nothing less.
