Yokohama adds more heavy-duty coverage to light truck line-up

LANGLEY, B.C. (October 31, 2008) – The addition of 13 new sizes to the successful Geolandar line of Yokohama light truck tires will extend the appeal of these popular tires to consumer and commercial truck owners alike.

The additions include 11 new sizes to the expanded Geolandar A/T-S line and two new sizes added to the line of Geolandar M/T+ light truck tires. The new sizes will be available early in 2009.

The new Geolandar A/T-S sizes, in the 17-inch to 20-inch range, include seven new high load index sizes ideal for heavy duty use in commercial applications. The new sizes are a response to demand from customers in industries like forestry, construction and mining, and will be popular with the owners of Ford F-Series, Dodge Ram, GM Sierra and Chevrolet Silverado pick-ups as well as the new generation Nissan Titan and Toyota Tundra trucks.

The two new sizes in the Geolandar M/T+ line are additions to the 17-inch range.

“From the oil fields to the farm to the construction site, light truck owners put their tires through some extreme conditions. Owners have told us what they like about our tires, and we’ve expanded our coverage to match what truck manufacturers are offering to commercial buyers and consumers,” says Jonathon Karelse, Marketing Manager of Yokohama Tire (Canada) Inc. “Whether you own a single truck or a fleet, there is a hard-working Yokohama Geolandar truck tire ideally suited to what you do.”

Yokohama Tire (Canada) Inc. markets and distributes a full line of tires for high performance, passenger car, light truck, and commercial truck applications, as well as off-the-road tires for mining, forestry and construction applications. It maintains distribution centres across Canada to serve more than 700 independent tire dealers.
