Yokohama Tire Introduces a New Extreme Off-Road Tire

Yokohama Tire has revealed its aggressive, all-new Geolandar X-MT off-road tire.

Set to go on sale in the U.S. starting July 1, the Geolandar X-MT will initially offer 10 sizes, from 17- to 20-inch rim diameters with outside diameters up to 40 inches. The highlight of the Geolandar X-MT are its tread blocks, which Yokohama Tire says are optimized to provide extreme off-road traction, superior crawling, and self-cleaning capabilities. There is also deep tread on the shoulders and sidewalls, offering excellent sidewall protection and assist in crawling through tough terrain.

The company also promises the Geolandar X-MT offers longer-lasting performance thanks to Yokohama’s new high-density, triple polymer compound. The tire maker says the compound is specially formulated to provide exceptional wear and off-road traction while resisting cuts and chips, which often shorten the life of other tires. In addition, durability is built into the Geolandar X-MT through Yokohama’s new “Geo-Shield” construction, which features a full nylon cover, three-ply construction, and extra-thick sidewall protection.

“For an extreme off-road tire with tenacious grip and killer looks, the GEOLANDAR X-MT also offers outstanding treadwear and on-road handling to provide consumers – from rock-crawlers to truck enthusiasts – with an exceptional balance of performance and value,” said Fardad Niknam, Yokohama senior director of consumer product planning and product marketing.
