Yokohama’s Geolandar H/T-S tire has been named by Consumer Digest as one of its “2009 Best Buys.” The monthly publication awarded the Geolandar H/T-S the Best Buy designation in two categories: All-Season SUV/Truck (Geolandar G051) and Performance SUV/Truck (Geolandar G052).
The Best Buy list, which is featured in the February issue, is chosen by its editors based on results from independent testing, consumer surveys, technical experts and hands-on evaluations.
“Earning Consumer Digest’s Best Buy designation reaffirms Yokohama’s commitment to quality and value,” says Dan King, Yokohama’s vice president of sales and marketing. “The Geolandar H/T-S is an exceptional tire and we’re proud of the recognition we have received from the editors.”
According to King, the two tires provide all-season durability, comfort and handling, offering 44 sizes ranging from 15 inches to 22 inches.
Additionally, large shoulder blocks provide strength and stiffness for outstanding cornering, special tread compounds help deliver high-mileage durability, cross-grooves enhance the H/T-S’ all-season capabilities in snow and ice, and constant contact tread blocks reduce low-pitch noise caused by air passing through the tire grooves, he explains.
The G052, the sporty version of the G051, features a full jointless nylon cap ply and edge covers for increased durability, as well as a higher speed rating, unidirectional tread design and high-performance casing profile for quick steering response while retaining ride comfort, King says.
