If your New Year's motoring resolution happens to be to finally replace those old, worn-down tires on your personal ride, then you're in luck (especially if you happen to drive an SUV or a pickup truck.

The Geolandar H/T-S G056 is now out, and it's said to be more fuel-friendly, significantly longer-lasting and quieter. And it supposedly offers better braking distance than its predecessor.
