Army veteran Dustin Slade recently received a set of Geolandar X-AT tires for his 2023 Chevy 1500 Trail Boss thanks to the partnership between Yokohama Tire Corp. and The Warrior Built Foundation.

"For six-plus years, Yokohama Tire has been actively helping combat veterans and wounded service members return to racing thanks to its ongoing partnership with The Warrior Built Foundation," say Yokohama officials.

"Warrior Built seeks to honor the service and sacrifice of combat veterans and wounded service members who served our country by providing vocational and recreational opportunities such as motorsports.

"Yokohama is aiding those opportunities via charity initiatives, support at various races and giving away sets of tires to deserving combat veterans throughout the year.  as part of the company’s Veterans Day recognition efforts. Slade also participated in races throughout the year and took 3rd place in the UTV Pro Stock Modified championship for the Inaugural 2026 American Offroad Racing Championship on Geolandar SD tires.

Earlier this year, Yokohama also honored and supported Curt Caruso, a 20-year-plus Marine combat veteran at King of the Hammers with a set of Geolandar M/T G003s for his 2024 INEOS Grenadier station wagon and Shane Ruiz, an Army Infantry combat veteran who was awarded the Purple Heart. On the 4th of July, Ruiz received a set of Geolandar X-ATs for his Toyota Tundra.

Besides King of the Hammers, Yokohama supported Warrior Built veterans such as JT Taylor’s Dodge Coronet at Pikes Peak, running on Advan A005s, and the Warrior Built UTV at both the Mint 400 and Vegas to Reno, riding on Geolandar SDs.

Yokohama has also been a major supporter of Warrior Built’s annual charity golf tournament through sponsorship and silent auction items.

"We’ve been truly honored to partner with a world-class organization like Warrior Built,” said Candace Cogan, Yokohama’s director of product marketing. “The work they do with combat veterans and wounded service members is incredible and inspiring. We’re glad we can contribute and will continue our support for them in 2027 with plans for additional racing and tire giveaways for our brave combat veterans.”
