Yokohama Geolandar SUV G055E. FEATURES AND BENEFITS: All weather traction; Enhanced controllability; Fuel efficient performance; . OVERVIEW: The Yokohama Geolandar SUV G055E is a touring, all season tire manufactured for passenger vehicles and SUVs.The tire provides great all weather traction. The tire's symmetric detailed tread pattern and the all season tire compound improve the dry, wet and winter weather road gripping capability. The compound is flexible in different conditions and it actively resists weather damage. The detailed tread design with the high-density siping and notch placement improves the dry, wet and winter weather road gripping ability and power. The circumferential grooves prevent hydroplaning by dispersing water and slush from below the tire's footprint. The better traction and hydroplaning resistance guarantee a safer year round performance.The model is easily controlled in various conditions. The continuous center rib closely follows the road surface and improves the steering responsiveness and the driving stability. The steering becomes faster and more precise in its response to the driver's commands, while the structure is stabilized against the driving pressure affecting the model. The detailed shoulder tread block pattern increases the cornering and maneuvering capability. They heighten the number of biting edges gripping the road surface and boost the cornering ability and power. The enhanced grip on the road surface ensures a superb driving security.The Geolandar SUV G055E keeps its close road contact at all times. The upgraded contact with the road surface eases the driving pressure off the tire. This decreases the rolling resistance affecting the tire, which, in turn, reduces the vehicle's fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. In this manner, the tire provides a fuel efficient and environmentally conscious performance. The lowered rolling resistance also significantly slows the tread wear rate down. The even pressure distribution avoids the formation of irregular wear along the tread area, extending the tread life and the tire's usability. Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored before they are sold, the year of their manufacture will not shorten their service life.
