Boasting advanced tech and rubber compounds, the Geolandar CV G058 promises to be an excellent value for its price. But does it deliver on the promise? Let’s find out in this Yokohama Geolandar CV G058 review.

Features and Benefits

An all-season tire, the Geolandar CV G058 does really well in tackling dry, wet, and light snowy conditions. The best part about these tires is that they can be used year-round in most regions except for the ones which experience moderate to heavy snow. One of the most sought-after Yokohama tires, the Geolandar CV G058 comes with a special CV-2 compound that improves braking and traction by working in tandem with the serrated outer groove. Whether you drive fast or moderate, in dry or wet conditions, the CV-2 rubber compound makes Geolandar CV G058 a true winner.

Additionally, the Geolandar CV G058 provides good winter traction thanks to its combination of hundreds of 2D and 3D sipes that grip the road to help drive sail through slick winter roads without letting you feel nervous. The optimized tread contact patch comes together to provide a comfortable ride and perfect traction and grip by distributing the tread pressure equally and, at the same time, prolonging the service life of the tread.

Unsurprisingly, you get a quiet ride from the Geolandar CV G058 thanks to a multi-pitch tread pattern that insulates and reduces road noise and returns a calm and comfortable ride. The wide and flat contact patch further aids in even wearing of the tread while the round profile of each rib block improves traction in wet and dry conditions.
