New Delhi – Yokohama India is reinforcing its commitment to the Indian market by expanding local tire production, now manufacturing 20-inch tires at its advanced facility in Bahadurgarh, Haryana. This move aligns with the rising demand for larger tires, fueled by the booming SUV segment and an increasing preference for premium vehicle categories.
Among the standout offerings in this category is the Geolandar X-CV (G057), a high-performance tire tailored for luxury SUVs. Engineered with an asymmetric tread pattern, advanced silica compounds, and a 2-ply sidewall, the X-CV promises enhanced grip, durability, and a seamless driving experience. Customers can now access these cutting-edge tires through Yokohama India’s vast network of over 3,000 retailers nationwide.
The introduction of 20-inch tires follows Yokohama India’s recent localization of 19-inch tire production, marking yet another milestone in its drive to provide world-class products. This strategic expansion reflects the company’s commitment to innovative mobility solutions while responding to market trends favoring larger-diameter tires.
“With improving road infrastructure and advancements in vehicle technology, the passenger vehicle segment is increasingly adopting larger tires,” said Gaurav Mahajan, Head of Marketing at Yokohama India. “Larger tires offer improved handling, enhanced safety, and compatibility with advanced braking systems. By expanding our manufacturing capabilities, we are future-proofing our offerings—now with the ability to produce up to 24-inch tires—ensuring that premium vehicle owners receive the best in high-performance tire technology.”
This move solidifies Yokohama India’s position as a key player in the country’s growing premium tire segment, catering to the evolving needs of Indian motorists with precision-engineered, locally produced solutions.
