Yokohama Geolandar CV G058
Performance
Complementing the improved basic performance features of a highway tire such as safety and noise reduction, the new tire’s total performance has been elevated by enhancing its wear resistance and fuel efficiency.
It has secured the M+S (mud & snow) designation that indicates excellent performance even during snow.
The Yokohama Geolandar CV G058 focuses on refinement on the road plus confidence in inclement weather and extended tread life.
The force needed to be applied over bumps and protrusions is lower, thereby contributing to a smoother and more comfortable ride.
Compared with its predecessor, Geolandar CV G058’s wet braking has been improved as well as wet handling stability.
Also, road noise has been reduced by 34%, pattern noise by 9% and vertical axial force has been reduced by 7%.
Yokohama Geolandar CV G058’s newly developed profile achieves a wide and flat contact shape that further improves its durability and resistance to uneven wear.
Technology
- The tire comes with an advanced CV-2 compound featuring Micro Silica molded into a five-rib symmetric pattern utilizing chamfered edges and rounded rib blocks on the shoulders and intermediate ribs to promote even wear and longer tread life.
- Geolandar CV G058 comes with a carefully constructed block profile that increases dry traction and spreads out load characteristics to further support even and longer tread life.
- The tire is designed with a distinctive five-pitch variation pattern to help cancel noise that naturally develops as the tread elements roll along the road surface.
- Its hydroplaning resistance is managed by large circumferential and pass-through grooves which are constructed to efficiently evacuate large amounts of water from the tread face.
- A combination of 2D and 3D sipes works in conjunction with the wet-focused CV-2 compound to boost the tire’s traction in wintry and slippery conditions.
- Geolandar CV G058 comes with biting edges created by the sipes combined with serrated outer grooves to promote wintertime traction and stability.
- The tread pattern is optimized for a quiet, comfortable driving experience and the internal construction helps deliver engaging handling characteristics.
- The internal construction of the Geolandar CV G058 consists of a two-ply polyester casing providing a robust and responsive package.
- Twin steel belts are reinforced by a nylon cap ply to further enhance handling and high-speed stability.
- The tire’s tread pattern features Yokohama’s proprietary “sipe-based pattern” which increases edging efficiency.
