Yokohama Tires: Complete Guide to ADVAN, AVID, BluEarth, GEOLANDAR, iceGUARD & PARADA
Yokohama keeps things refreshingly simple with clear families:
ADVAN (performance), AVID (daily driver touring),
BluEarth (eco conscious performance and winter), GEOLANDAR (truck/SUV),
iceGUARD (winter mastery), and PARADA (sport truck/SUV style + traction).
This guide covers the current Yokohama lineup so you can match the right tire to your season, vehicle, and driving style.
Canadian reality check: all season is not a winter tire.
If you deal with ice, deep snow, and consistent cold, go with a dedicated winter option like iceGUARD or BluEarth Winter.
If your winters are lighter, certain all season/all weather style SUV options may be “good enough”—but winter tires still win when it gets serious.
