Yokohama Tire reviews

Yokohama is a tire manufacturer from Japan. Established in 1917, Yokohama has crafted its name on the automotive market. The innovative tires made their name a global brand that took part in many events and worldwide motor racing contests. Today, we will give you a closer look at this product through this Yokohama tires review. Let’s kick right in!

The design reduces rolling resistance, helping the car to move well in many different routes. This point helps carry heavy loads (like passenger cars and cargo trucks) more easily. Simultaneously, the vehicle using Firestone Tire tires can save more fuel thanks to that unique design.

Speed

When mentioning the Yokohama company, the first impression is the variety of tire choices for customers; you can choose a suitable tire due to its size that works following V, H, or H speed rating. 

Traction: 

Users are assured with Yokohama tires’ good traction, as they produce specific tires that grip well on every type of road. For example, the Geolandar A/T G015 got fraction score A, while Advan Sport A/S has fraction score A to AA (this score is evaluated based on Uniform Tire Quality Grading-UTQG.

Treadwear

Now, let’s talk about treadwear! Except for the model Advan Sport A/S with treadwear score relatively low (180), other models own higher ratings (around 400-650). This number tells everything about its durability.

 Temperature-resistant And Fuel-efficient

You might not know that Yokohama was the first manufacturer to apply Nanotechnology in their products. This high-technology feature helps their tires to cope well with temperature changes and helps decrease energy loss. 

Durability And Comfort: 

Yokohama designed their tires to be durable with reliable performance. They offer customers a 50,000-mile tread warranty and a 30-day trial. Therefore, customers don’t have to worry if something is wrong with their products.   

Noise

Car drivers won’t be disappointed with Yokohama tires as their 4-pitch tread variation reduces noise while working.

Yokohama reviews: Tire Drive Test

Here in this section, we will share with you our personal experiences with Yokohama tires. More specifically, we have tried the Yokohama Geolandar A/T G015 on our SUV cars (2019 version). What most satisfies us about this tire is its great capacity for handling all sorts of terrain; it is undeniable that we had a great experience with our SUV car while using this tire. Besides, its traction can adapt to all seasons, especially in dry and icy conditions. 

However, there are things that we don’t like much about this model of tires: Wet braking is not its strength, and the tire is low rolling resistance.  

Except for these limitations, we love Yokohama tires due to their comfort and quietness. Users can easily handle it due to the responsive steering and cornering functions. Furthermore, you can buy this Geolandar A/T G015 at very affordable prices. These tires are fuel-efficient, and it is most suitable for many types of cars such as Crossovers, SUV, and light trucks.
