Yokohama Tire Introduces the New All-terrain GEOLANDAR A/T4™ Tire
Yokohama Tire’s all-new GEOLANDAR A/T4™ G018 is designed to take drivers just about anywhere, on- or off-road. Engineered for trucks, SUVs and CUVs, the multipurpose A/T4 goes on sale in the U.S. July 1 and will eventually be available in over 100 sizes ranging from 15- to 22-inch wheel diameters.
The A/T4, which replaces the GEOLANDAR® A/T G015, is severe snow service-rated, features a dual-sidewall design which allows consumers to choose the appearance they like the best and carries a 55,000- to 65,000-mile limited treadwear warranty.
“The A/T4 is a go anywhere tire,” said Drew Dayton, Yokohama Tire’s senior product planning manager, consumer tires. “It’s been designed and developed by enthusiasts, for enthusiasts, which makes it capable enough for off-road adventurers and everyday drivers alike.”
Dayton added “the A/T4 will have an extensive size range in both Euro-metric and LT-metric sizes and is ready to roll on any surface, in any weather condition, thanks to its outstanding off-road resilience and dependable all-weather traction. The A/T4 is truly the perfect balance of on-road comfort and off-road reliability.”
Benefits for the GEOLANDAR A/T4 G018 include:
- Off-road durability is assured thanks to Yokohama’s GEO-SHIELD technology, which delivers extra-strength for on- and off-road use by providing multiple sidewall plies, a full nylon cap and a high turn-up carcass. Plus, the A/T4 features Yokohama’s Enduro-Compound, a proprietary triple polymer to combat cutting and chipping, and resist wear for longer mileage.
- Reliable all-weather performance is achieved by the advanced tread pattern which features zig-zag grooves and triple 3D sipes for superb performance in dry and wet conditions. Marked with the Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake (3PMSF) symbol for excellent winter traction.
- On-road comfort comes from the single-pitch shoulder blocks which reduce noise on-road while enhancing traction off-road.
- Optimized on/off-road traction ride is attained by aggressive center blocks that provide exceptional off-road traction on any trail surface. Additionally, the enhanced profile firmly grounds tread blocks for confident on-road handling and improved off-traction.
