Designed to perform in the most extreme off-road conditions, the Geolandar M/T G003 is the company’s mud terrain tyre for SUVs and pickup trucks. Available in sizes 15 – 20 inches, the G003 is capable of delivering steering stability and traction in the most demanding of terrains, including deep mud and rocky surfaces. Developed with a new tread pattern combining large mesh lug grooves, sequential sipes and aggressive side blocks, the type offers a longer tread life, effectively ejecting mud and stones while distributing stresses more evenly across the entire tread area. Enhanced manoeuvrability and quietness contribute to a comfortable driving experience.

The flagship all-terrain tyre of the Geolandar range, the A/T G015, is available in sizes ranging from 15 – 20 inches, it features the Three Peak Mountain Snowflake mark and is capable of taking on the most demanding winter road conditions, including ice, snow and wet road surfaces. Optimised to deliver better wet braking and improved hydroplaning resistance, the contact patch design ensures even wear and better durability as well as low noise.

Meanwhile, the Geolandar H/T G056 road-only, highway terrain variant is designed for the new generation of midsize and large SUVs, delivering a comfortable ride, deliver exceptional wear resistance, durability and handling performance. Completing the range is the Geolandar SUV G055 which is ideal for compact SUVs, delivering comfort through passenger-car like performance.

As the flagship tyre of the Advan range, it has recently been selected for OE fitment for the OE BMW X3 and Porsche Cayenne.
