Yokohama India has introduced Mud–Terrain (M/T+) tyres, as part of its Geolandar series in the country. The tyre maker says that Geolandar M/T+have been specifically designed for serious off-Roading and 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, 31×10.50 R15 and 33×12.50 R15. The Geolandar M/T+ has new dual protection bars, added to enhance cut and puncture resistance. While its stepped central groove is said to enhances surface grip.
Takeshi Fujino, Managing Director, Yokohama India, said “Off-roading is increasingly becoming popular as a new weekend adventure sport. Specifically among young professionals and 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.”
Since off-roading activity requires driving a vehicle on un-surfaced roads or tracks, made of materials such as sand, gravel, riverbeds, mud, snow, rocks, and other natural terrain, the need for tyres that can perform under such circumstances becomes quintessential.
Gaining popularity of the off-roading activity also pushes the need for the tyres that can perform under such circumstances. “ The Geolandar M/T+’s twin cut groove design also enhances traction for even better overall control while enhancing surface grip” further added Mr. Fujino.
