When Yokohama introduced the Geolandar family of tires decades ago, their goal was to develop all-terrain tires for light trucks, Jeeps, SUVs, and crossovers that would be durable and capable of tough off-road use, but still deliver the kind of ride quality, road manners, handling, low noise, and long wear that drivers are accustomed to with their all-season or Grand Touring tires. With this expanded lineup of tires, the Geolandar pedigree has something for the needs of about every driver of a light truck, Jeep, SUV, or crossover. Let’s take a closer look and break down what the Geolandar line is all about, tire by tire:

Yokohama Geolandar M/T G003

The Yokohama Geolandar M/T G003 is a mud-terrain tire that’s primarily used on Jeeps and pickup trucks. Backed by Yokohama’s 30-day Try and Buy guarantee, the Geolandar M/T G003 is designed with Yokohama’s GEO-SHIELD technology package, from casing to tread. The GEO-SHIELD includes three polyester body plies (depending on load range), two high-strength steel belts, a full-width nylon cap ply, Sidewall Armor reinforcement, and the damage-resistant Triple Polymer Blend tread formulation.

Along with outstanding performance on mud, sand, gravel, loose dirt, or rocks, the Geolandar M/T G003 has the Three Peak Mountain Snowflake certification for severe winter service. Yokohama covers the Geolandar M/T G003 with a 5-year warranty on workmanship and materials (down to the last 2/32” of tread depth) and a 30-day test-drive period. According to SimpleScore, the Geolandar M/T G003 registers scores of 9.7 for traction, 9.4 for durability, 8.9 for longevity, and an outstanding overall average of 9.3. The Geolandar M/T G003 is a great fit for vehicles like the RAM 1500, Ford F-150, Chevrolet Silverado 1500, Toyota Tacoma, Toyota Tundra, and Jeep Grand Cherokee.

Yokohama Geolandar CV 4S

When Yokohama designed the Geolandar CV 4S, their goal was to develop a tire that would have the road manners, handling, ride quality, and refinement of an all-season tire, but with an emphasis on improved performance in winter conditions. They hit the target; the Geolandar CV 4S has the Three Peak Mountain Snowflake rating for severe winter service but with the year-round versatility of an all-season tire. Its long-wearing silica-based tread compound, asymmetric tread with zigzag grooves and 3D sipes, and optimized footprint are all designed for a perfect blend of year-round grip, sharp handling, long, even wear, and a quiet, comfortable ride. The Yokohama Geolandar CV 4S comes in with SimpleScore ratings of 8.5 for traction, 8.6 for handling, 9.0 for longevity, and 8.7 for an overall average. Yokohama covers the Geolandar CV 4S with a 60,000 mile limited manufacturer’s tread life warranty. With its combination of durability, low noise, ride comfort, and confident winter traction, the Geolandar CV 4S is a great value in an all-weather tire for light trucks, SUVs, and crossovers.

Yokohama Geolandar H/T G056

The Yokohama Geolandar H/T G056 is an all-season tire for light trucks, SUVs, and crossovers that is designed to deliver Grand Touring levels of road manners, ride quality, and low noise along with the versatility of year-round traction.

Yokohama’s Endurocore construction of dual body plies and a full nylon cap give the Geolandar H/T G056 great stability on the highway and real durability. Its symmetric tread pattern, a network of 3D sipes, and a system of circumferential and angled grooves ensure great performance on wet or dry pavement.

Speaking of long wear, Yokohama covers the Geolandar CV G058 with a 65,000 mile limited manufacturer tread life warranty (32,500 miles for staggered fitment rear tires). Chamfered ribs ensure even contact with the road surface to help extend tread life, and its staggered multi-pitch tread design is computer-tuned to cancel certain frequencies and overtones, keeping road noise to a minimum.
