How Yokohama Tire’s GEOLANDAR A/T4® and EDGETEC Grooves Improve Real-World Traction
The Volkswagen Tiguan is built for versatility. You drive it through snow in the winter, gravel on weekend trips, and wet streets all year long.
That’s where Yokohama Tire’s GEOLANDAR A/T4® makes a difference, especially with its EDGETEC Grooves. These grooves create extra biting edges, giving you traction when and where you need it.
1. Leaving a Snowy Driveway
On cold mornings, snow-packed pavement can turn slick. EDGETEC Grooves help the tire dig in during slow starts, giving you a clean launch without slip.
2. Getting Up a Steep Hill
When heading up a gravel road or muddy trail, the grooves maintain grip across the center tread. Your Tiguan climbs with steady control.
3. Taking a Wet Curve with Confidence
On wet pavement, the edges help channel water and grip through turns. The A/T4 feels stable when other tires might start to slide.
4. Driving Through Light Mud
Whether you’re pulling into a field or heading down a dirt road, packed mud doesn't clog the grooves. The tread stays clean and responsive.
5. Handling Freeze-Thaw Conditions
Mornings might start icy and end with slush. EDGETEC Grooves help you stay in control across changing conditions.
6. Everyday Highway Driving
Even on dry roads, the groove design supports even contact. That means stable steering and reduced tread wear over time.

7. Light Trail Adventures
If you take your Tiguan camping or hiking, these grooves give reliable traction over rocks, roots, and uneven ground.
8. Towing Small Loads
Extra biting edges help when you're pulling a trailer or hauling gear. The tire stays planted under the weight.
9. Avoiding Sudden Lane Drift
Snow-packed ruts can pull you off course. The A/T4’s edge grip helps you track straight, even through rough patches.
10. Keeping Performance Consistent
Over time, tires wear. EDGETEC Grooves help maintain biting edges longer, giving you more useful miles with strong traction.
Sized Right for Your Tiguan
Available in 15–22-inch sizes, the GEOLANDAR A/T4 fits the Volkswagen Tiguan with no compromises in comfort or control.
Make Every Drive More Secure
When the road conditions change, your traction shouldn’t. EDGETEC Grooves are designed to respond, so you stay in control.
