The presented tyre is marked with 3PMSF symbol (Three Peak Mountain Snow Flake). It means that the tyre meets the EU requirements for winter tyres. The symbol is awarded after thorough tests of a tyre model in terms of snow grip.
Yokohama GEOLANDAR I/T G072 is a high class winter tyre. It guarantees optimal adhesion and protects from hydroplaning. Additionally, it ensures high traction qualities even in the deep snow. Yokohama GEOLANDAR I/T G072 has been produced with the use of newest production technologies and the newest components. The next benefit of the tyre is high durability which allows for driving many thousands of miles using one tyres set.
Producing the tread of Yokohama GEOLANDAR I/T G072 tyre, the producers used modern rubber compound with the carbon compounds addition. So obtained porous structure has water absorbing properties ensuring much better adhesion on road. On the tyre’s shoulders durable blocks have been placed which preserve the pressures transfer on the tyre’s whole surface. The tread’ surface has been covered with 3D sipes’ cuttings which shorten the braking distance and prevent from the tyre’s skid while stepping on the gas. Yokohama GEOLANDAR I/T G072 features solid tread blocks with the directional pattern. Blocks shape opposite to the rolling direction in the tyre’s central part is an innovative solution. They create a rib which responds for transfer of the steering wheel movements onto the road. Non-directional shape ensures better sharp edge biting into the surface and, therefore, enhanced adhesion. Even on the irregular surface the tyre guarantees smooth and precise steering. The engineers have suited the carving to the drive on wet and snowy road. Wide circumferential grooves efficiently drain the tread. Great grooves’ capacity guarantees efficient water and snow sideways removal. Therefore, Yokohama GEOLANDAR I/T G072 ensures protection from hydro-and snowplaning.
Yokohama GEOLANDAR I/T G072 is a winter tyre directed to the 4x4 cars with high engine capacities. It proves especially well in the SUVs. It belongs to the premium class ensuring the best performance.
