Yokohama India has taken a significant step toward strengthening its local manufacturing capabilities by introducing the production of 20-inch tyres at its state-of-the-art facility in Bahadurgarh, Haryana. This move comes in response to the increasing demand for higher inch tyres, driven by surging popularity of SUVs and growing premium segment.
Among the premium tyre offerings in this category is the Geolandar X-CV (G057), a high-performance tyre designed for luxury SUVs. Featuring an asymmetric tread pattern, advanced silica compounds, and a 2-ply sidewall, the X-CV delivers a smooth driving experience, enhanced grip, and durability. It is now available through Yokohama India’s extensive network of over 3,000 retailers nationwide.
This expansion follows Yokohama India’s recent announcement of localizing the production of 19-inch tyres, marking another milestone in its commitment to delivering world-class products. As Yokohama India continues to adapt to market trends and facilitate a culture of motoring excellence, it remains committed to developing innovative mobility solutions that align with the evolving needs of Indian motorists.
“With improving road infrastructure and advancement in vehicle geometry, passenger segment vehicle are now opting for larger-inch tyres,” said Gaurav Mahajan, Head of Marketing at Yokohama India. “Higher inch tires also offer better handling and safety as they could accommodate advance braking systems. By expanding our local production capabilities, we are future-proofing our offerings—now with the capability to manufacture up to 24-inch tyres—ensuring that we continue to serve the premium segment with cutting-edge, high-performance products.”
