Yokohama Geolandar G98C

The summer tire Yokohama Geolandar G98C is included in the factory equipment of Subaru Legacy. The model, belonging to the HT category, demonstrates the greatest efficiency, first and foremost, on asphalt roads, differing from most competitors with improved traction and handling, especially on wet surfaces.

Durable lightweight carcass

Compared to most tires from other brands with similar sizes, this tire has a lower weight than them. This was achieved due to the physico-chemical properties of synthetic materials, from which the carcass is almost entirely made. At the same time, the cord winding was carried out using the most modern technologies, which made it possible to significantly increase the density of the thread arrangement. This significantly increased the mechanical strength of the carcass, which, in addition to reliability, had a positive effect on handling and tire durability.

Multifunctional compound

The compound used in the manufacture of the tread performs several functions at once. The key one, of course, is to ensure maximum traction with the road. This is largely ensured by the composition based on high-dispersion silica. This component allows the tread to literally cling to the road, tightly enveloping even the smallest irregularities on its surface. In addition, the rubber mixture includes special polymers that provide rapid heat dissipation from the carcass. This significantly reduces rolling resistance and fuel consumption, prevents premature wear of the tread.

Key features of Yokohama Geolandar G98C

- a carcass almost entirely made of synthetic materials;
- a rubber mixture that improves traction on wet surfaces, reduces heat generation;
- a wide solid rib in the center provides high directional stability and handling responsiveness.
