Yokohama Geolandar H/T-S G053 Tire Review

Finding tires that are geared towards heavy duty use can often be a bit more difficult. But one tire that is built specifically for this type of use is the Yokohama Geolandar H/T-S G053.

The Geolandar H/T-S G053 is a heavy duty tire which is used extensively on the highways. With an asymmetric tread pattern, it provides very good all-weather performance, including in light snow conditions. The tread is also designed to flush out water from beneath the tire, allowing a firm road grip.

Yokohama has created a tread compound that is made with a lower rolling resistance in mind. The result is higher fuel economy, which saves you money in the long run.

The Geolandar H/T-S G053 is comfortable even while it is geared for heavy loads. The tread blocks have been computer optimized by the latest techniques to ensure a longer tread life. Noise can hardly be heard due to the unique placement of the tread blocks, which cuts out the sound frequencies.

A three ply casing enhances the high speed stability. It also has a strong center rib to give support to the tire while handling heavy loads. Yokohama also gives an option of black or white lettering which the customer can choose for the lettering on the sidewall of the tire purchased. This depends on the size of the tire and has to be indicated in advance.

Overall, the Yokohama Geolandar H/T-S G053 is a tire for heavy duty on-road driving. It handles heavier loads very well and the comfort level is very nice. The only knock really is that it could provide better grip.
