Yokohama Geolandar X-AT Hybrid – 32K Miles! 3 Years Old. It’s OVER! - Super Duty Build | Part 22

It’s replacement time! After 3 years and 32k miles!

Yokohama Geolandar XAT - 37x12.5R17 – Load D – 3,525 Capacity – 3 Ply Sidewalls – 19/32nds Tread Depth

Our tread depth is even on all four tires with each measuring at 7/32 (center) and 11/32 (edges). The crowning and cupping wear has been an issue since the first year of ownership. At the current rate of tread wear the center tread would likely achieve the 45k mileage warranty at 2/32 (center) tread depth. However, we will never know!

SOO noisy! The tread noise has become comparable to a mud terrain tire which is obnoxious on the highway. There is some light cracking developing (age related). And our tire plug failed causing the rear tire to go flat. Time for replacement.

Our first flat tire (10 months old) was from a bolt penetrating through a tread block (on road). The hole was plugged and the plug held for over two years. Not bad. Durability has been excellent. Off road traction has not disappointed: deep snow, rock, dirt and gravel. On one trip we had the tires aired down off road for nearly 30 days while traveling the Idaho BDR route of ~ 1,000 miles. No issues.

We have hauled heavy with the truck camper and enclosed trailer for several months and 3k miles. We’ve towed our dump trailer with 4 yards of gravel. Above all the tires have been reliable and durable.

On road they have only required balancing once in 3 years. They roll smoothly and track straight (no pulling) with good steering on center feel. Impressive for such a large diameter tire.

I’m guessing the tire crowning / cupping may be related to: tire carcass design, constant heavy weight or narrow wheel (8.5” wide – minimum required). It’s also possible that the tires were damaged when the Ford dealer overinflated the them to 80psi (max pressure 50psi) and it wasn’t discovered until several weeks later.

I’d recommend the tires with some reservation due to our tread wear issues. I’m guessing a wider wheel and lighter vehicle may not have the same trouble. Would be curious to hear others experiences.

Can you guess what the new tires will be??

I commented on these tires on my 20 F250 on one of your other threads. At 30k miles I started to notice what you are stating. I ended up getting the Falkins Wildpeaks in 37 12.5 20's and I presently have 35k miles and will easily get another 10-12k miles. They are still relatively quiet and for the occasional snow they see are much better. Hands down better than any Nitto Ridge grappler or Toyo tire I have had. I will be getting another set of falkins.

I hope you continue to do vids, they are always informative.

Just fitting my second set, 135000 km on my first set. 2.5mm of tread left on middle blocks, 7mm left on outer. Rotate and look after your tire pressures and suspension.

I have what is essentially the same rig as yours...same truck and weight. I can't say enough good things about the Cooper Discoverer LTX AT3. I've got 285/75/18 and they're fantastic. Quiet, smooth, wearing great and BURLY sidewall. Transformed my truck.

[brokenwrench]

Nitto ridge grapplers are the quietest tires I’ve run. They’ve been great through snow, ice and mud. I’m right around 30k miles on them.
I have 18x9 wheels but I also have 13.50 wide tires on my older super turd

[mudbuster]

Run a higher pressure like 62-65 in the front and about the same in the rear or 70 plus when hauling and a load range E for that rig. That will most likely fix your cupping issues.

[rabivens]

They look like TOYO Open Country R/T Trail tires. Joe would approve! 😎

[Sedona-Faise]

There are soo many tires that have finally caught up to Toyo for HD trucks nowadays. Centramatics have really kept tires on my full-time set-up wear very flat with my 36" Toyo 608z load range H off-road 19.5s. More choices...

[georgecarousos]

I have a F350 crew cab and am going to go with the 17" Method Beadgrips you had and the Nitto Recon Grappler in 37x11.50Rx17. I like a tall skinny tire with a lot of sidewall so I can air down to lower psi when needed. Don't be fooled by 2 ply and 3 ply sidewall marketing claims...it depends on how the tire is designed, the thickness and material of the plies, etc. BFG came out with that "3 ply sidewall" BS over 40 years ago to counter the claim that radials had weak sidewalls when compared to bias ply tires.

I'm between the RT trail (looks like your next tire), Recon Grappler, and falken at3w for my Ram. Would like to have the 3 peak snowflake rating but others look like they'll do fine. Also a truck camper guy here.
Geolanders on my land cruiser and pretty happy with them - only 10k on them so far but still pretty quiet.

Thanks for this video and looking forward to yours on the RT Trails!

[LimeTimeVFR]

Spot on review mine are at the same point on my FJ.

Unfortunately this isn’t a tire brand issue. This is just the traits of any tires that get into the 33” and up. I’ve owned them all…bfg ko2’s, cooper xlt at3, toyo open country, Goodyear duratrac. It’s just the nature of the beast with large A/T tires.

[fastgurrrl]

Curious to see what you get. I love my mud crawlers, and I'm just a city girl. But Big Red handles so nice and easy, and he looks good. I keep them at 65. Wearing good, but I'm not high miles.

[gizzmo]

Don’t laugh however Downunder the FEDERAL A T are gaining popularity also KENDA

[Ultrafrozen]

You can rotate your tires yearly to get rid of the weird wear pattern.

[crashdsnowman]

Maybe you should have run a load range E

[jonyjonsy]

Thanks for the video. Can you tell me how often these were rotated?

[Eyez]

Love your vids. Was a Toyota fanboy and bought one of the last 6.2 F250s. Absolutely love it. What engine oil are you running in yours?

[FuelMonger]

Any idea why their 13.5" wide 37 is E rated at lower weight and higher pressure vs the 12.5? I am still confused.

[RodrigoLopez-ybnn]

What psi do you run the tires on the highway?
