The Do’s and Don’ts of Using Yokohama Tire’s GEOLANDAR X-AT® for a Quiet Ride
The Toyota Land Cruiser is built for exploration, but that doesn’t mean you want to hear the road the whole way. Yokohama Tire’s GEOLANDAR X-AT® is designed to keep things quiet, even on aggressive terrain, thanks to tread grooves that reduce pattern noise.
Still, a quiet ride depends on more than the tire alone. Here’s how to get the most out of it.
Do: Choose the Right Pressure
Running the correct PSI keeps the tread blocks stable and balanced. That reduces vibration and lets the noise-control features of the X-AT do their job.
Don’t overinflate or underinflate. Both create uneven contact and more sound from the road surface.
Do: Keep Tires Properly Aligned
Alignment affects how the tread meets the pavement. A centered, flat contact patch helps the X-AT’s groove pattern reduce noise efficiently.
Don’t ignore pull or drift. It’s a sign alignment is off and that your tires may be wearing noisily and unevenly.
Do: Rotate Tires on Schedule
This ensures even treadwear, which supports the quiet ride features built into the tire’s design.
Don’t wait too long between rotations. Uneven wear introduces irregular sound patterns you’ll notice inside the cabin.
Do: Choose the Right Tire for the Vehicle
The GEOLANDAR X-AT is a strong match for the Toyota Land Cruiser. With available 18-inch sizing, it delivers all-terrain capability without the usual road noise.
Don’t settle for oversized or mismatched tires. That often leads to unnecessary sound and vibration.
Quiet, Even When It’s Rough
The GEOLANDAR X-AT’s tread grooves are engineered to break up noise patterns before they reach the cabin. When paired with the Land Cruiser’s suspension and sound insulation, the result is a calm, composed ride, even over rough surfaces.
