Yokohama Geolandar CV 4S

The Yokohama Geolandar CV 4S is a solid choice for those prioritizing a balance of comfort and wet grip in a touring all-season tire. Its wet grip score of 7.5 is above the category average, making it a reliable option for rainy conditions. The comfort and noise ratings both meet the category benchmarks, ensuring a smooth and quiet ride. However, the tire's dry grip score of 7.5 is slightly below the category average of 7.8, which might not satisfy drivers looking for sharper handling. Additionally, the UTQG treadwear rating of 660 is slightly above the category average of 596, suggesting that while the tire offers a decent 60,000-mile warranty, it might not last as long as some competitors like the BFGoodrich Advantage Control or the Continental ProContact TX. Overall, the Geolandar CV 4S is best suited for daily commuters who prioritize comfort and wet weather performance over high-speed handling and ultimate treadlife. Those who drive extensively or require higher speed ratings might consider alternatives like the Continental ProContact TX for better longevity and performance at higher speeds.
