Yokohama G003 285-75r17

[Hiluxforever]

Had these tires for a few thousand miles now and wanted to share some initial thoughts:

-Tires are refined for a MT but definitely, undeniably an MT.
-Tires tend to lose grip instages allowing for predictable handling.
-NVH is much better than MTRs or any other Mud tire, but no where near as good as any AT i have ever had.
-Wet performance is acceptable.
-Offroad performance is amazing.
-Deep Snow performance is Good to Great.

Not enough miles to assess wear.

Good to know and these look great. A little off topic, but what other suspension/body mount mods(besides lift) have you done to fit these? I am getting my father in laws brand new Mickey a/t’s in 285/70/17(came on his rubicon) as he is upgrading to 35’s. Putting these on gx470 stock wheels.

Just pushing the fender liners back. They are rubbing on the BMC pretty bad. I had no rubbing with 275/70R18 Snow tires.

Using Oem steelies with +25 offset. I probably need to just shave a bit off my body mount.

Bottom line: would buy these again?

 

[Hiluxforever]

Absolutely. Their grip off pavement and their durability, as I am living my best Ken Block life.


KILL ALL TIRES!

running 235/16s. very happy

At around 5-6k miles. Just did a rotation about 1k ago. 3 tires are at 16/ one tire is at 18/ since I am doing a 5 way rotation.

How about on snow packed and icy roads?

 

[Hiluxforever]

Probably awful. I have Hakkapeliittas for that.

 

[Hiluxforever]

Love the tires, done quite a few trails.

 

[Hiluxforever]

Update. Took a puncture on the trail yesterday. Yet to take it in to be fixed. I got them from.discount and bought the certs so I am sure it will be fine.

They have a little vibration but with my stock head unit I can keep the volume at between 35 and 40 and still hear audiobooks clearly.

They are great on dry pavement. I have been able intentionally pull my inside tires off the ground on asphalt. So they have sufficient layer grip.

They are an MT and get a bit slippy in the wet. But have not has any true hydroplaning.

They are amazing in fresh snow. Not as good as my Hakkipilettas but for a MT. They are great. I have them snow wheeling in the early fall and late spring after I have removed my nokians

I am guessing I have roughly 18k miles on my 5 tires. I have probably about another 10k of life left in the set unless I start replacing the tires one at a time as the get below a certain depth.

I have not been nice to these tires as i push my truck in the canyons and do up to level 6 obstacles.

10/10. If you want a 285-75r17, and wheel you will love these.

Do you have any issues clearing the UCA with that wheel and tire combination? I’m contemplating a 275/70/18 on OE F sport wheels (+20 rather than +25), and have read that some folks have UCA contact (albeit with the stock +25 wheels).

Light rubbing only. I have polished spots on my UCAs.

The actual tire profile may make a bigger difference.

Been running tires that lightly rub for 3 years with zero issues.

I have put 40k miles on commuting across the pawnee grasslands since October 2024. Frequently sees crazy cross winds and head winds.

Agree re tire profile. Some folks were having trouble clearing 33s (265/70/18) with Falken AT4Ws which have a more square profile, but my Dueler A/T Ascents clear with substantial room.

From my experience with bridgestone duelers they are the most refined AT i have ever run. Truck just wafted along smoothly .

Puncture was through the sidewall. Discount covered and I bought a new certificate.
