Yokohama tyres OE on new Mitsubishi Triton

The Yokohama Rubber Co. Ltd. is supplying its Geolandar A/T G94 tyres as original equipment (OE) on the new Triton pickup truck, launched by Mitsubishi Motors Corporation in February 2024 in Japan. The Triton was introduced to the Japanese market about 12 years and is being fitted with 265/60R18 110H size tyres. The new Triton was launched in Thailand in July 2023, in the Philippines in January 2024, and in Australia and New Zealand in March 2024, and will be successively launched in approximately 100 countries around the world.

The Geolandar A/T G94 is described as “an all-terrain tyre for SUVs and pickup trucks that offers excellent fuel efficiency, comfort, and safety performance, as well as utility performance on a variety of road surfaces”. According to the company, the durability of the newly fitted tyres was improved by enhancing the rigidity of the belt section to handle the harsh operating environments that pickup trucks often face.

Now in its sixth generation, the all-new Triton range, which has been dubbed L200 in the UK, has been fully redesigned for the first time in nine years. “Safety, comfort, and environmental performance were also improved, in addition to durability and road performance”, according to the vehicle maker.
