Yokohama G051 HT Geolander Features
The Geolandar H/T-S G051 is a member of Yokohama’s family of three distinct highway all-season truck, van and SUV tires. Each of these three different models sport their own unique tread pattern for a particular need. The G051 is designed for drivers who are looking for a tire for light duty year-round on-road driving needs.
An all-season advanced tread compound combines with a symmetrical tread pattern to provide enhanced traction and handling on wet or dry road surfaces. The tire’s cross-grooves and rounded shoulders increase dry traction and cornering performance, while increasing steering responsiveness as well.
Wide circumferential grooves and added sipes help provide wet pavement traction and handling, including light snow. The grooves are also designed to increase hydroplane resistance and add more confidence when driving in bad weather, but we feel the tire falters in this area. Yokohama utilizes the latest in computer design technology in placing the tread blocks around the tire to where they provide the best noise reduction. The result is improved ride quality without all the road noise.
Inside the tire you will find two steel belts for added durability and more strength, which increases stability at higher speeds. They also increase treadlife by creating more even tire wear. Yokohama includes a 60,000 mile tread guarantee, and the G051 comes in 15-18 inch sizes.
