Yokohama India launches Earth-1 & Mud terrain M/T+ tyres

Yokohama India has launched new Yokohama Earth -1 tyres, specially designed to excel in Indian road conditions, which means they claim to offer better durability and mileage, and less road noise. The Yokohama Earth-1s are made at the manufacturer’s 1st international manufacturing unit at Bahadurgarh, Haryana. Designed with comfort and economy in mind, the tyre comes with technologically advanced ‘Wear Control Shoulder Design’ with vertical and horizontal grooves, meant to reduce uneven wear.

The Japanese tyre maker has also announced that it will offer new Mud Terrain (M/T+) tyres from the Geolandar series. Specifically designed for serious Off-Roading, the Geolandar M/T+ are well-equipped to deflect lateral impacts during extreme conditions. Designed for high performance and maximum visual impact, the Mud Terrain tyres are currently available in two sizes, 31X10.50R15, and 33X12.50R15. The Geolandar M/T+ has new dual protection bars added to enhance cut and puncture resistance, along with a stepped central groove to enhance surface grip.

“Keeping the diverse road conditions in mind we will cater to most of the cars in B, B+ and C-segment. It is tough, to take on rough roads but quiet at the same time to provide comfortable ride on smooth roads. Off-Roading is increasingly becoming popular as a new weekend adventure sport. Specifically among young professionals & high net worth individuals. The Geolandar M/T+ has been built with many interesting features that makes it the best companion to do Off-Roading with,” says Takeshi Fujino, MD — Yokohama India.
