Yokohama tyres in the UAE come mainly from Japan, Thailand and the Philippines. Japan-made Geolandar tyres are popular with off-road clubs and usually cost a little more. Check the DOT code before fitting: 3825 means week 38 of 2025. For dune driving, the G015 works well at 15–18 psi; drive slowly until you re-inflate to 32–36 psi at the tarmac, and check for sand trapped between the bead and rim if the tyre keeps losing air.
