Yokohama Geolandar G056 Tyre Review
One of the most notable tires in the all-season tyre category is the Yokohama Geolandar H/T G056. The Geolandar G056 is available for SUVs, pickup trucks, and commercial vehicles. PitStopArabia will let you know everything there is to know about its features and then compare it with other tires in the same category.
Yokohama Geolandar H/T G056 tires are manufactured to provide consistent performance throughout the year, regardless of the weather. They last longer than your standard summer tire but make nominal compromises on aspects like steering and cornering ability. These are ideal for people who are looking for an all rounder tyre.
What Makes the Yokohama Geolandar H/T G056 Worth the Money?
The first thing that most all-season tire owners complain of is the excessive noise coming from the tires. Even for the average driver, the tyre noise can ruin the driving experience and comfort. The last thing any driver wishes is unbearable noise levels. The Geolandar H/T G056’s variable pitch design helps keep the tire noise to a minimum. The adaptive shoulder design ensures minimal noise even after the tire begins to wear.
The Yokohama Geolandar H/T G056 features an advanced compound that provides outstanding traction throughout the year, including light snow, just in case you find yourself at the top of Jebel Jais on a frosty winter morning.
The triple 3D sipes improve traction on wet surfaces, meaning that you don’t have to worry about aquaplaning. This feature also ensures longer durability and tread life. The Geolandar H/T G056 comes with zigzag grooves to ensure quick water removal from the tyre’s tread area. It is common to use pickup trucks for hauling goods. The dual sturdy body plies and a full nylon cap ply allow for heavy use and load carrying.
No tire is perfect, and the Yokohama H/T G056 is no exception. We did find one shortcoming in it. Interestingly, the same was reported by our customers. The complaint was that the Yokohama H/T G056 does not glide over rough surfaces. Instead, you will feel every impact. This, however, is not an issue if you are using your vehicle in the UAE as the roads are smooth. So, a minor gripe, we must say. This weakness becomes a strength if you are using your tyre for off roading as well. So, very well suited for UAE.

Conclusion
Based on the above information, it is quite evident that the Yokohama Geolandar H/T G056 is the best value tire. The Kumho Crugen HT51 does give it a close competition. Notably, it beats Dunlop Grandtrek AT20 and Dunlop Grandtrek AT22, one of the most widely installed OE tyres in Japanese SUVs, hands downs as a far superior tyre at a much lower price. All the customer reviews, industrial tests, and our experience show that the Yokohama G056 is better overall.
