Yokohama Geolandar A/T G015 Tyre Review
“When the road ends, the fun begins”.
It is how Yokohama introduces this tyre, and we must say it is hard to disagree. Off-roading is an exhilarating experience and tests a driver's abilities. However, the car and the driver can only do so much. The vehicle cannot perform to its full potential without the right set of tires. The Yokohama Geolandar A/T G015 is perfect for off-roading without compromising on any on-road performance.
Changing Trends
There is a growing trend among CUV and small SUV owners to fit their vehicles with large, aggressive-looking off/on-road tires. The reason for doing so is to get a more aggressive look and go Wadi or Dune bashing without the need for upgrading their tires. Based on this increasing trend, tire manufacturers have started focusing on off/on-road tires.
These tyres attempt to create a perfect balance between on-road and off-road performance. With minimal trade-offs, CUV and small SUV owners can get the best of paved and off-road conditions. The Yokohama Geolandar A/T G015 is designed with this purpose in mind. Let’s see what makes this tire perfect for your vehicle.
About the Yokohama Geolandar A/T G015
It is undoubtedly the best all-terrain tire that money can buy as it offers a perfect balance between on- and off-road capabilities. This tyre features the Enduro Compound, which ensures that the Yokohama G015 remains flexible in rain and snow. Why is it necessary? Without flexibility, the tire will not grip and can cause great concern.
Whether driving on paved roads or dune bashing, you don't have to worry about wearing out the tire. The primary reasons are the Enduro Compound and a flatter tread design, which are responsible for this tyre’s longer durability. Therefore, you get an excellent on/off-road tire and a longer tread life.
The tyre noise is an important measure of a tire’s quality and off-road tires are notorious for their noise. If there is too much noise, the drive can become unbearable. The Geolandar G015 comes out on top in road noise levels. There are little to no noise complaints from car owners about the Yokohama G015, which is a testament to Yokohama's design and build quality.
The only shortcoming we could find in the Yokohama Geolandar A/T G015 is its shock absorption capability. Since UAE has amazing roads so this is off little consequence. Overall, it is a perfect tire for your SUV or 4x4. Our research and feedback from customers show that the A/T G015 is a perfect tire that offers an excellent balance between on-road and off-road capabilities.
