Everything You Need to Know About Yokohama Tire’s Circumferential Grooves with Pass-Through for Your Volkswagen Tiguan
Your Volkswagen Tiguan blends sophistication with performance, making it ideal for drivers who want comfort, utility, and control. But as capable as the Tiguan is, your safety in wet conditions depends on one key feature of your tires: their ability to resist hydroplaning. That’s where Yokohama Tire’s circumferential grooves with pass-through technology—found in the GEOLANDAR CV® G058—makes all the difference.
Designed to fit your Tiguan’s 235/55R18 tire size, this feature plays a critical role in maintaining traction when the road gets wet.
What Are Circumferential Grooves with Pass-Through?
This advanced tread design consists of deep, continuous grooves that run around the tire’s circumference, combined with lateral channels that “pass through” to the outer edges. The goal: to move water away from the contact patch as efficiently as possible.
Key benefits include:
- Fast and effective evacuation of water from beneath the tire
- Reduced risk of hydroplaning at highway speeds
- Maintained road contact for better steering and braking
- Improved wet traction during heavy rain or puddle-filled roads
Why It Matters for Volkswagen Tiguan Drivers
The Tiguan is a crossover built for stability, but even the most responsive suspension can’t overcome poor wet-road performance from worn or low-tech tires. Circumferential grooves with pass-through offer a noticeable upgrade in wet-weather confidence.
Here's why they matter:
- Enhance safety during rainy commutes or wet highway driving
- Provide more predictable handling in stormy conditions
- Increase your control when driving through standing water
- Help maintain traction on slick pavement without sacrificing ride comfort
