The new tyre will be available in 32 sizes, ranging from 245/45R20 103V to 235/65R17 108V.
YOKOHAMA developed the GEOLANDAR CV 4S in response to the annually growing worldwide demand for tyres for crossover SUVs. A newly developed asymmetric tread pattern and compound contribute to the tyre’s excellent performance in wet conditions and on snow, as well as on dry roads. All 32 sizes have received the M+S (mud & snow) designation that indicates they will deliver excellent performance in a sudden snowfall as well as the Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake Symbol* applied to tyres that meet international standards for tyres to be used in severe snow.
*The Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake Symbol is a mark certifying winter tyres for use in Europe.
All-season tyres are appropriate for driving on almost all road conditions, from dry and wet roads to snowy roads, making them suitable for use in all climates. As they can be used year round, including during sudden snowfalls, all-season tyres eliminate the need for seasonal tyre changes and a place to store out-of-season seasonal tyres, thus enhancing user convenience.
Under the GEOLANDAR brand, YOKOHAMA is developing SUV tyres suitable for use on a wide range of road surfaces, from highway terrain to mud terrain. GEOLANDAR brand tyres already on the market include the GEOLANDAR CV G058, a grand-touring tyre for crossover SUVs, the GEOLANDAR X-CV for high-performance crossover SUVs, and the GEOLANDAR H/T G056 for midsize and large SUVs. The new GEOLANDAR CV 4S enhances the brand’s ability to meet the diversifying needs of SUV owners.
Under YOKOHAMA’s three-year (2021–2023) medium-term management plan, Yokohama Transformation 2023 (YX2023), the consumer tyre business aims to maximize the sales ratios of high-value-added YOKOHAMA tyres, namely the global flagship ADVAN brand, the GEOLANDAR brand of tyres for SUVs and pick-up trucks, and various winter tyres. Under its “Mud Match” themed campaign focused on expanding sales of GEOLANDAR tyres, YOKOHAMA has been introducing new tyres, such as the new GEOLANDAR CV 4S and the GEOLANDAR A/T XD launched this March in North America and Australia, and expanding the size line-ups of GEOLANDAR tyres already on the market.
