The Geolandar G055 is Yokohama's Crossover/SUV Touring All-Season tyre developed for the drivers of small- and medium-sized utility vehicles looking to combine year-round traction, handling and comfort with eco-friendly environmental impact. Loaded with Yokohama's latest technology for the journeys ahead, Geolandar G055 tyres are designed to offer responsive handling and long-lasting treadwear in every season, even in light snow.

Yokohama's BluEarth branding is used to identify ecologically friendly series of tyres designed to deliver environmentally, human and socially friendly solutions for drivers and their vehicles. Geolandar G055 tyres contribute to vehicle fuel economy by reducing tire rolling resistance along with the vehicle's carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions.

Geolandar G055 tyres feature Yokohama's premium all-season compound that combines Orange Oil Technology and Silica to enhance wet and wintertime traction with high-tech polymers that resist wear and promote year-round traction. This compound is molded into a symmetric tread design featuring Integrated Shoulders and a continuous center rib to reduce road noise and promote even wear. Transition Grooves and Notch Sipes work together to maintain tread block rigidity to enhance handling and create biting edges to increase traction in wet and wintry conditions. Circumferential Zigzag Grooves channel water through the tread to resist hydroplaning while providing additional edges that promote wintertime traction.

The tyre's internal structure includes twin steel belts reinforced with spirally wrapped nylon to improve highway stability and high-speed durability. Polyester casing plies provide strength and promote ride comfort.

Fuel-Efficient Profile that Minimises Uneven Wear

The profile employed suppresses tyre distortion to provide even road contact area and reduce energy loss when driving. This helps minimise uneven wear.

High-Rigidity Profile Enabling Exceptional Handling Performance

Enhancing the strength of the sidewall rubber for tall SUV tyres and reinforcing the shoulder part of the tread has increased the stability of the road contact area of the tyre. The high rigidity enables superior handling and peace-of-mind at high speeds.

• High-elasticity filler exclusively for the Geolandar SUV brand tyre

  Steering stability - Employs high-elasticity filler for exceptional flexibility that meets the needs of SUV tyres with large section width.

• Nylon full cover

  - Reduced noise

  - Steering stability

  - A nylon cover layer has been employed for the entire upper portion of the belt material. This helps stop the belt from slipping up and improves s eering stability and quietness at high speeds.

Orange Oil Compound that Provides Reassuring Grip in the Wet

The use of a tread pattern with exceptional water drainage capability and Orange Oil compound, which makes it more difficult for the rubber to harden even at low temperatures, enables safe and secure driving on rainy days.
