Yokohama Geolander A/T XD (13 Viewers)

Put my second set of tires on this past week since owning. These were at a great price but I found very little feedback from anyone who has tried them. Specs seem to be pretty good. They are definitely one of the more aggressive A/T tires I have seen that are also 3 peak rated. I did find some reviews on a random website, one of which was a 3500 truck that utilized for hauling large trailers. His negative comment was that they seemed too soft for his use, which I decided could be a pro for a lighter weight truck for a vehicle like this. Had them mounted Friday, they balanced easily and so far they feel quite a bit smoother than the General Grabber AT/X I had prior. I had both in the same size, LT275/70/R18. I noticed a decent hum driving home at 55-60 mph, checked pressures and they had them at 31 psi. My last set I maintained 39 psi with good luck so I made the adjustment to these. I might still notice a hum but it’s barely noticeable. Definitely not worse than the Grabbers. Time will tell though as they wear in. I will say I’m a sucker for the aesthetic of a good AT tire and these look great to me. Just thought I’d share what little information I have since I haven’t seen much mentioned about them. I do also have 1.25’’ BORA spacers for what that’s worth. Also worth mentioning that the grabbers were snug in the stock spare location but they did fit. These appear to be an even tighter fit but it did snug up in there with some finagling.

they look good, never heard of them. Are they made in Japan?
be sure to post up with some reviews after some miles

I've had 2 or 3 sets of Yokohama Geolander tires over the years. I swapped to BFG's, but I'm thinking about going back for my next set, They were always great tires, quieter and BFG's, and better in the rain.

Yes, they are made in Japan. As much as I prefer some from the US I do tend to trust Japanese items.

Will follow up here after some more time with them.

Thanks for this. Very close to getting new 275/70/18 tires on OEM 18" wheels, and am overwhelmed by the choices and hesitant to pull the trigger as everything I see is E range, was hping to get C range.
