"The H/T4 is our latest generation highway tire, following a long line of successful predecessors in this segment," said Kevin Nguyen, Yokohama Tire manager of product planning. "It's built to provide excellent on-road durability with a smooth, quiet ride, perfect for truck and SUV drivers seeking a balance of long mileage, comfort and all-season traction. Plus, it carries a 70,000-mile limited treadwear warranty for Euro-metric sizes and a 55,000-mile limited treadwear warranty for LT-metric sizes." Benefits for the GEOLANDAR H/T4 include: Optimized all-season performance is attained by dual lug grooves and wide circumferential grooves that have sharp block edges to enhance snow traction without sacrificing wet performance and effectively remove water to prevent hydroplaning. Plus, the large center blocks are strategically designed to improve traction and grip in various driving conditions. A smooth, quiet ride is ensured by the multi-pitch tread variation that efficiently disperses frequency peaks. Additionally, the high-rigidity shoulder blocks reduce tread noise throughout the tire's life for a more comfortable ride. On-road durability is assured thanks to Yokohama's advanced compound technology, which delivers strength and toughness to stand up to the stresses of hauling and towing. Also, the dual sidewall boasts a rugged upper sidewall on one side to better guard against road hazards and a traditional upper sidewall design on the reverse. Long tread life is achieved by triple 3D sipes which increase wear resistance by controlling tread block stability while simultaneously improving dry performance. Plus, the advanced compound technology enhances tread life, improves fuel efficiency and wet traction through an optimized blend of silica and carbon.
