Yokohama Geolandar M/T G003 long term review. (2 Viewers)

[RayRay27]

I run my 315's at 40 daily. Just got my second set put on last Friday after nearly four years of use on the last set.

I think per @leonard_nemoy suggestion I am going to do the chalk test to get the ideal pressure. Thank you for all your input

Curious what your new Yokos land at as the chalk test was a waste of time for me (new BFG KM3s). Modern tires have such stiff construction that deflated to low 20s the center was still showing a good amount of chalk. It should be noted that the KM3s have a rounded shoulder, much more so than their K02s and the Cooper AT3 XLTs. I drove it around at the lowered PSI and the KM3s felt draggy and squirmy. I went back to my typical low 30s PSI cold. All gravy on my stock bodied '97 80 now 7Kish miles on them which includes a roadtrip, LA-Cascades-LA.

I def considered the Yoko MT G003s, but settled on BFG KM3s based on yt reviews, weight and wait. Backorder city!

"They all have the R&D backing and history to deliver a great product."

I have long since sold my G003's, and gone to X3's (General) M/T's.
Run em' smaller and REAL wide (33x12.5 on a 9" 2.5" backspace wheel)

But, wanted to comment that I'd like to know your rain/slick-stuff performance with the KM3's.
Thinking of going back to G003's makes me remember how skippy/slippy mine were in the wet.

The KM2's I'd had for years ran real well in a 31x size in wet blacktop, and I reckon, the KM3's will be as good/better.
Please advise direct in PM if you get the gumption.

I plan on doing the chalk test this weekend, and will update this thread when I do.

When I lived in seattle, running toyo mt, ko etc I drove too gingerly/defensively to care in the rain which we get a lot of. They all felt inadequate grip and aquaplaning.

I’m in LA now so can’t help much given the preponderance of .
