Is this tyre suitable for off-road use?
The Yokohama Geolandar G900 is optimized for 90% on-road use. While it can handle light gravel or dirt roads, it is not designed for aggressive off-road terrain.
How often should I rotate my tyres?
It is generally recommended to rotate your tyres every 5,000 to 7,500 miles to promote even wear and extend their lifespan.

Troubleshooting
Uneven tyre wear
Check wheel alignment, tire pressure, and consider tyre rotation if not performed recently.
Increased road noise
Ensure proper tire pressure. Uneven wear can also cause noise; check tread for abnormalities. Verify tyres are rotated correctly.
Reduced wet grip performance
Verify tire pressure is correct. Check tread depth for wear. Ensure no foreign objects are embedded in the tread grooves.
