Yokohama at Southern KY Tire Pros

We Sell More Tire Brands Than Can Be Listed — Yokohama Is One of Them

Southern KY Tire Pros sells and installs Yokohama tires at 1004 Happy Valley Rd in Glasgow — including the Geolandar lines for trucks and SUVs and Avid lines for cars. If your size is not on the shelf, we can usually get it through our distributors, most of what you can find online included, and often for a better price installed.

Prices move with the distributors and depend on your exact size, so Yokohama pricing here is by phone: call (270) 861-2003 or text (270) 320-7359 with your size off the sidewall — it reads like 265/70R17 — and we will quote the tire mounted, balanced, and out the door.

Every set we sell is mounted and Road Force balanced in-house, and rotations are free with any tire purchase from the shop. Our 3-year road hazard warranty — with free flat repairs and free balancing — can be added at the counter. And because alignments are a specialty here (Hunter Hawkeye Elite, 18,000-lb rack, starting at $89.99 on most vehicles), a new set can be lined up in the same visit.

See the full picture on our tires page, or read how to choose tires before you call. Walk-ins welcome Monday–Friday, 8:00 AM–5:00 PM.

Motorsport in Its Blood

Geolandar Grit, Avid Manners, Advan Speed

Yokohama has been building tires in Japan since 1917, and it brings a racer's streak to every category it enters — the company supplies spec tires for international racing series and keeps its Advan performance line sharp accordingly. Trucks know Yokohama through the Geolandar family: the A/T4 is the current all-terrain flagship with severe-snow certification, the X-AT splits toward the aggressive end, and the M/T G003 is a mud-terrain with a cult following among drivers who air down and mean it.

The car side is equally complete: the Avid family, led by the Ascend GT, covers quiet touring with a long-wearing brief, while Advan Sport rubber serves sports sedans and coupes that get driven properly. Yokohama also builds many of its American-market tires in the United States, including at its plant in Salem, Virginia. It is the brand drivers cross-shop against the famous names and frequently choose on the test numbers.

Around Glasgow

The Thinking Driver's Alternative

Yokohama tends to win the Glasgow customer who reads comparisons before buying: the Geolandar A/T4 and X-AT deliver the truck capability of the famous all-terrains with winter certification standard, and the Avid Ascend GT gives family sedans premium quiet at a mid-pack price. We fit a lot of Geolandars on trucks that tow to the lake in summer and still have to get out of a holler in February — one set, both jobs, no drama.

As always here, the set is mounted and Road Force balanced in the bay, rotations are free for the life of any set bought from this shop, and the road hazard plan can ride along for three years of free flat repairs and balancing. If the outgoing tires wore a pattern into the tread, the alignment rack tells the story before new Geolandars go on to repeat it.

Questions

Yokohama Questions, Answered Straight

Is the Geolandar A/T4 rated for severe snow?

Yes — the A/T4 carries the three-peak mountain snowflake, and winter testing was part of its design brief rather than an afterthought. For a Barren County truck that runs one set all year, that certification puts it in the first rank of all-terrain choices alongside names costing noticeably more.

X-AT or A/T4 for a truck that tows?

The A/T4 is the better tow-and-travel tire: quieter, longer-wearing, and fully winter-rated. The X-AT aims at drivers who want a more aggressive shoulder and stronger off-pavement bite, accepting a little more road presence. Tell us the trailer weight and the road split and we will point at one without hesitation.

Avid Ascend GT or Geolandar for my SUV?

Start with the vehicle: car-based crossovers that live on pavement are Avid territory — quiet, efficient, long-wearing. Body-on-frame SUVs and anything that tows or leaves the road belong on Geolandars. Plenty of Glasgow households run one of each, on the car and the truck respectively.

Are Yokohamas good value against Michelin and Bridgestone?

They are the classic spoiler: comparable test performance in most categories at a friendlier price, from a maker with a century of engineering and American plants. The flagship brands still win some specific contests — tread life at the very top end, for one — and we will show you where the money difference actually goes.
