Comfort and Traction Combine in the Yokohama GEOLANDAR X-CV

Crossovers and SUVs now dominate the automotive world with models designed for just about every lifestyle. No matter how you use your vehicle, there are tires available that specialize in helping you enjoy it. Many of the luxury cars have been replaced with roomier luxury SUVs and crossovers that provide more passenger and cargo space and refinements that make traveling enjoyable for drivers and passengers alike. In keeping with the ride quality demands of the luxury market, Yokohama has the GEOLANDAR X-CV, a tire that caters to the quality of the ride while still providing the attributes you need from an all-around vehicle tire.

Yokohama designed the GEOLANDAR X-CV specifically for modern luxury sport crossovers and SUVs. The goal was a true all-season performance tire that provides the driver with powerful wet-condition braking to retain better control in bad weather. Yokohama engineers did all of this while giving the tire a refined, quiet ride that is a key factor in what a luxury vehicle demands.

All-Season Performance

It doesn’t matter how quiet or smooth of a ride a tire gives a vehicle if it fails to provide traction. The GEOLANDAR X-CV uses a unique and innovative, asymmetrical tread pattern with a reinforced shoulder to give your SUV or crossover sharp, steady handling and enhanced stability on various pavement types and road conditions. This includes wintery mixed road conditions, making the X-CV a true all-season performance tire. The tread is a three-rib design that helps the tire find grip year round, including winter and wet conditions.

The tread pattern and the rubber compound used in the carcass of the tire aid in braking performance on wet pavement, too. Part of a smooth ride quality includes smooth controlled braking, regardless of the road conditions. Yokohama developed this tire to handle these conditions specifically for the crossover and SUV luxury market, where sizes and weights of the vehicles can vary greatly.

Long Tread Life

The Yokohama GEOLANDAR X-CV comes with limited treadwear warranty up to 50,000 miles, which backs up the design of the tire for long lasting drivability. The X-CV has a wider, flat contact patch that gives provides better balance and stability. Not only does that give you better tread life, but a smoother, more confident driving experience.

Yokohama also used a new advanced silica compound for the tire’s carcass that helps with promoting longer-lasting tread and even wear across the whole tire. As an added bonus, the silica compound has an outstanding effect on the tire’s stability on dry pavement, as well as wet traction and braking habits.

Smoother Ride

When you add the elements of the tire that contribute to traction, braking and long tread life, you also get the better picture of what makes the GEOLANDAR X-CV so smooth, which is a requirement of a luxury vehicle tire. The staggered tread blocks that aid in all-weather traction, are also spaced and designed in such a manner as to dramatically reduce road noise.

The silica tread compound rides down the road with less impact upon the ride quality as well, meaning that there are few vibrations, road chatter and impacts that get transmitted to the driver and passengers. This helps everyone inside the SUV enjoy the ride, the sounds of music and conversation. The stiff sidewall design and wide contact patch help divert further noise and vibrations to the interior of the SUV or crossover, while at the same tire providing precise handling.
