Yokohama Geolandar I/T-S G073

The Yokohama Geolandar I/T-S G073 tyre is specifically designed to tackle extreme winter conditions, particularly on icy surfaces. Its advanced technology enables it to deliver unmatched performance on ice, thanks to a triple absorbing rubber that instantly eliminates water, thereby reducing the risk of micro hydroplaning.

• Micro hydroplaning, the main obstacle to grip on ice, is caused by the formation of a water layer above the ice, especially in the temperature zone of -6°C to 0°C. Traditional tyres fail to maintain contact with the ice due to this water layer whose thickness exceeds 10um, while the tyre surface undulation is only 4-7um.
• The Yokohama Geolandar I/T-S G073 overcomes this challenge through an innovative rubber compound that incorporates water-absorbing elements. This unique feature allows the tyre to remain in direct contact with the ice, eliminating the water layer and significantly improving grip.
