Yokohama Geolandar

[John Young]

I've been using the Yokohama Geolander's for the past 5 years or so on my GCC spec 2001. I've been very happy with them. They are slightly louder on the freeway than others but not to the point where it has been a problem. I also went up a size to 285/75r16 after reading a lot on this forum (right when I first bought the truck). There has been absolutely no problem at all with rubbing or anything else. Here are a couple of photos of these well-used tires on the truck:

These are getting to the end of their useful life. The annual inspection will ding you if your tires are more than 5 or 6 years old, but I've heard you can argue it. I'm thinking seriously of selling this truck and I'd rather do that before changing the tries which is probably a 1500 USD exercise here.

I think the truck looks good on the larger tires. This is a stock truck that has not been lifted.

Curious if anyone has their MT's.

I'm pretty happy with them. They look good. Not quite as gnarly-looking as the A/T KOs, but they're also significantly cheaper. No hydroplaning issues as mentioned earlier in this thread. Road noise seems a little better. Little-to-no positive impact in MPGs, though.

VERY happy with these tires. 315/75/16. E Load. Very quiet, almost unreal, now I'm hearing interior noises I never heard before!

Update: I went on a multi-hour road trip and can say I did see a slight bump 1-2 mpgs in improved gas mileage.

FWIW, my happiness faded, lol. I am going back to the KOs. They look better, lasted longer, won't keep me off any trails just because I saved an MPG or two.

Folks should check out the Geolander AT-X for a slightly more aggressive AT thread and has a great onroad manners.

I had a chance to put the X-AT through their paves this Thanksgiving when we went from Mono Lake to Bodie State Park. We took the back route that started on loose dirt / sandy trails leading from the north edge of Mono Lake all the way all around the back side of the park by the abandoned mine shafts. Luckily there was only a few inches of snow at this time once we were past Mono Lake and making the climb to Bodie.

I aired down to 20/23 psi and only had to lock my center differential and use the magic of ATRAC a single time to help get us up this short but steep sand trail exiting Mono Lake. On hind sight we could have avoided this section had I turned left at the split on the trail. Otherwise I was able to stay in drive and high gear on the transfer case without much issue for the remainder of the drive to Bodie.

I went with 33” LT E rated ones see exact size in my signature. The sidewalls have held up well and the tread wear has been even and the road noise only a tad noisier than Michelin LTX AT2. I believe these have a 45k mileage warranty. I have almost 5k miles on them and will routed them at my next oil change. Oh I run these at 33/36 when DD and a little higher when I’m fully loaded camping.

I've been running Geolandar AT-S for like 2ish months now. I haven't had a chance to run my truck through anything crazy, but they've done well in like 6 inches of snow and the little bit of mud I've been in. Again, probably too soon to tell you anything, but they're nice for moderate usage from my minimal experience.

Theyre my road set for my 105 series, but when I've done some unplanned wheeling the 31" Geolandars have done everything I've asked, snow, mud, sand, rock
