Yokohama Geolandar X-CV G057 is a Highway Terrain asymmetric summer tire designed primarily for SUVs. According to the manufacturer, its key features include reliable wet grip, ride comfort, fuel efficiency, and long expected mileage. The high-performance Yokohama Geolandar X-CV G057 model was included in the assortment of this Japanese tire brand in 2019. Despite the fact that this model is positioned as a summer one, its sidewalls feature the M+S (“mud + snow”) sign, which signifies the tire’s ability to maintain the optimum traction in the event of severely deteriorated weather, down to a snowfall.

In the company’s model range, the Geolandar X-CV G057 will replace the outdated PARADA Spec-X PA02 model. Compared to its predecessor, the Geolandar X-CV G057 has an 8% improvement in braking performance and 3% improvement in road holding ability on wet pavement. Another performance area that was significantly improved was the acoustic comfort; the rolling resistance was also cut down by 3%.

The asymmetric design with three ribs in the central section of the tread improves the tire’s performance on wet and dry surfaces, at the same time dampening the road noise. The wide circumferential grooves efficiently evacuate water from the contact area and increase the Yokohama Geolandar X-CV G057 road holding ability when driving in the rain. The combination of 3D and 2D sipes improves the handling response on wet pavement and enhances the traction on slippery surfaces. These two types of sipes will also come to your rescue during a sudden snowfall. The five-step configuration of the Yokohama Geolandar X-CV G057 tread pattern effectively blocks sound waves, thus dampening the road noise and increasing the ride comfort for the driver and the passengers. The flat and wide contact area stabilizes the traction and prevents uneven wear, thus extending the Geolandar X-CV’s tread life.

The highly dispersed silica in the rubber compound provides extra grip in all weather conditions and reduces rolling resistance.
