Yokohama Geolandar G98E

The summer tire Yokohama Geolandar G98E is installed on SUVs and off-road vehicles. It has a design adapted for operation on asphalt roads. In motion, it is characterized by excellent stability and stability at high speed, reduced noise and vibration.

The tread part of the protector is distinguished by an enlarged rib in the middle. This massive, very deformation-resistant element gives the tire excellent stability at high speed, fast and accurate transmission of lateral acceleration forces to the steering wheel, providing clear feedback on it. These properties are also ensured by the shoulder zones, which have high deformation resistance. The blocks located in them are connected by longitudinal "bridges". At the same time, their long transverse edges give the tire efficiency during braking.

The tread pattern effectively fights against aquaplaning. The main components of the drainage system are four longitudinal grooves with a significant volume. In addition to them, the tread in the central part contains numerous diagonal grooves, which, due to their inclination, significantly reduce the risk of aquaplaning.

The rubber compound provides a significant part of the advantages of this model. Its composition is characterized by a high content of silicon dioxide, which gives stability to the coupling on a wet surface, reduces wear and rolling resistance. The properties are further enhanced by orange peel oil, which is also part of the compound.

Main features:

- an enlarged rib in the middle gives stability at high speed, simplifies the management process due to the speed and accuracy of reactions to the driver's actions, reduces rolling resistance;
- wide shoulder blocks connected by "bridges" prevent uneven wear and lateral skidding, reduce the length of the braking distance;
- diagonal grooves additionally reduce the risk of aquaplaning;
- a compound with a high silicon content and orange oil gives coupling on a wet surface, reduces wear and rolling resistance.
