Summer tire for SUVs Yokohama Geolandar G94B, unlike numerous analogs from other brands, is distinguished by good performance not only on the highway, but also on dirt roads. The versatility of this model is ensured not only by the adapted design of the tread, but also by the reinforced construction of its carcass. In addition, this tire is characterized by a long service life and good fuel efficiency.
Universal tread pattern
The symmetrical design of the tread of this tire is characterized by the use of simple, but at the same time very effective solutions. One of them is its division into several separate sections, each of which has a certain functionality assigned by the developers.
In particular, the central longitudinal rib is designed to improve directional stability and steering responsiveness at high speeds. These tasks are successfully performed thanks to the massive size and solid construction of this tread element. Additionally, these same features reduce fuel consumption and prevent uneven wear.
In turn, the two rows of blocks located next to the central rib increase traction on dirt roads. At the same time, their dual design significantly optimizes the distribution of load on the contact patch. On the one hand, this gives stability and reliability to handling, and on the other hand, it increases the service life of the tread. The blocks in the shoulder areas have similar functionality. However, their more massive size and transverse arrangement also increase stability when cornering and reduce braking distance.
Reliability throughout the entire service life
Since this model was initially developed specifically for SUVs, it's no surprise that Japanese tire manufacturers sought to give it maximum reliability. This task was solved mainly by strengthening the carcass, which is almost entirely made of steel cord. Additionally, the breaker has an additional protective layer of nylon cord. This combined design not only increases the tire's carrying capacity, but also its resistance to impact, as well as to punctures and cuts.
Key features of Yokohama Geolandar G94B
- universal tread pattern offers excellent performance both on highways and on most dirt roads;
- wide solid tread rib in the center improves handling and reduces fuel consumption;
- multiple dual blocks in the central part of the tread provide increased traction on dirt roads, prevent uneven wear;
- wide blocks in the shoulder areas give the tire confident behavior when maneuvering and braking, improve off-road capability.
