The Top Benefits of Yokohama Tire’s 2D/3D Combination Sipes for Kia Sportage Drivers
Kia Sportage drivers know the value of versatility—style, space, and performance all in one smart SUV. But winter conditions can put even the most well-equipped vehicle to the test. That’s why it’s essential to have tires engineered for cold-weather confidence. One key feature to look for? 2D/3D Combination Sipes, found in Yokohama Tire’s GEOLANDAR CV® G058.
Available in 235/55R18, the recommended size for your Sportage, this tire delivers traction you can trust—without compromising comfort or ride quality.
What Are 2D/3D Combination Sipes?
Sipes are tiny slits in the tread blocks that create extra biting edges, improving grip in snow and icy conditions. The 2D/3D combination in the GEOLANDAR CV G058 blends two siping styles:
- 2D sipes remain open for maximum edge contact
- 3D sipes interlock under pressure to stabilize tread blocks
This combination results in:
- Enhanced winter traction on snow-covered or icy roads
- Improved braking and acceleration in cold temperatures
- Reduced tread flex for better wear and control
- Increased biting edges throughout the life of the tire
