Yokohama India mud -terrain off-roading tyres.

Japan-based tyre maker Yokohama India has introduced “Mud –Terrain (M/T+)” tyres in the “Geolandar” series. These tyres have been specifically designed for serious off-roading. Technically speaking, these Geolandar M/T+ tyres are well-equipped to deflect lateral impacts during extreme conditions.

Designed for high performance and maximum visual impact, the mud terrain tyres are available in two sizes--- 31X10.50R15 and 33X12.50R15. The tyre has new dual protection bars that enhance cut and puncture resistance capabilities of the tyre, while its stepped central groove aids in surface grip.

Takeshi Fujino, MD – Yokohama India noted that off-roading is increasingly becoming popular in the country as a new weekend adventure sport.

Off-roading takes a vehicle through some tough terrains consisting of sand, gravel, riverbeds, mud, snow and rocks. Tyres like the one Yokohama has introduced help the vehicle to drive through such tough terrains.

“The Geolandar M/T+’s   twin cut groove design also enhances traction for even better overall control while enhancing surface grip,” added Mr. Fujino.

 Yokohama India recently inaugurated its first India manufacturing unit which was built with an investment of over Rs.300 crore. Yokohama India is a 100pc subsidiary of The Yokohama Rubber Co., Ltd of Japan.
