Tires are HUGELY important.
After all, no other part of your car or truck should touch the road. They impact everything from vehicle acceleration and handling to comfort and safety. Running the appropriate tire for a given application is critical. You’d never put knobby, off-road rubber on a sports car or run racing slicks in snow and ice. But what if you want the best of both worlds, to have your proverbial cake and eat it too? Well, the folks at Yokohama think they’ve come up with a solution.

This is the Japanese firm’s new Geolandar X-AT tire. It’s intended for use on pickup trucks and SUVs. For testing purposes, we had a fresh set attached to a 2019 Ram 1500.
