    Yokohama Tire Corp. has introduced an "aggressive" Geolandar X-MT off-road tire for rock-crawlers and truck enthusiasts.

    SANTA ANA, Calif. — Yokohama Tire Corp. has introduced an "aggressive" Geolandar X-MT off-road tire for rock-crawlers and truck enthusiasts.

    The tire goes on sale in the U.S. July 1 with an initial size lineup of 10 sizes ranging from 17- to 20-inches in rim diameter, with outside diameters up to 40 inches.

    "For an extreme off-road tire with tenacious grip and killer looks, the Geolandar X-MT also offers outstanding treadwear and on-road handling to provide consumers — from rock-crawlers to truck enthusiasts — with an exceptional balance of performance and value," said Fardad Niknam, Yokohama's senior director of consumer product planning and product marketing.

    The Geolandar X-MT features:

    • Tread blocks optimized to provide extreme off-road traction, crawling and self-cleaning capabilities with deep tread on the shoulders and sidewalls for sidewall protection and to assist in crawling through rough terrain;
    • High-density triple-polymer compound formulated to provide improved wear and off-road traction while resisting cuts and chips;
    • Geo-Shield construction which features a full nylon cover, three-ply construction and extra-thick sidewall protection; and
    • Tread design optimized to reduce pattern noise for a quieter, more comfortable ride.
