Yokohama india has further strengthened its local  manufacturing capabilities by commencing the production of 20-inch tires at its advanced facility in Bahadurgarh, Haryana. This strategic move aligns with the growing demand for larger tires, fueled by the rising popularity of SUVs and the expanding premium vehicle segment.

Among the standout offerings in this category is the Geolandar X-CV (G057), a high-performance tire engineered for luxury SUVs. Designed with an asymmetric tread pattern, advanced silica compounds, and a reinforced 2-ply sidewall, the X-CV ensures superior grip, enhanced durability, and a smooth driving experience. It is now available across Yokohama India’s extensive network of over 3,000 retail partners nationwide.

This expansion follows the company’s recent localization of 19-inch tire production, marking another milestone in its commitment to delivering world-class products tailored for Indian motorists. By continuously evolving with market trends, Yokohama India reinforces its dedication to innovative mobility solutions and premium driving experiences.

“With improving road infrastructure and advancements in vehicle dynamics, more passenger vehicles are now adopting larger-inch tires,” said Gaurav Mahajan, Head of Marketing at Yokohama India. “Larger tires contribute to better handling and safety, accommodating advanced braking systems. By enhancing our local manufacturing capabilities—including the ability to produce tires up to 24 inches—we are ensuring that we stay ahead in serving the premium segment with high-performance, cutting-edge products.”
