Yoko Geolandar is the best MT on the market today. Quiet on the road, beast offroad. Even better than BFG KM3 in my opinion.

[lanejohnson]

I recently put my second set of the Yokohama MT G003 on my F-150. The road noise is minimal for a mud tire. I got 67, 000 miles out of the first set that I put on my truck, and probably could have gotten another 6, 000 out of them.

Have had what I thought was the pinnacle of perfection, TOYO MT under my JKUR, and then I got the Yokohama MT and found them a little better in the rain on the road. The NITTO, from everyone I know that runs them is a great tire, but with light snow and sleet that we get around here all the time, they seem to not perform very well on the road during those times. My Yokohama do very well in that weather and better than any tire I’ve run off road in ice conditions. I have run many AT and lesser MT tires over the years. If I have to choose the best for tough off road while keeping a good family safe road worthy ability, it’s the Yokohama. Again, light snow, rain and ice is common around here in MD. I also highly recommend TOYO MT, as they are my second favorite tire for off road and even on road. I do think it’s great that many modern MT perform much better than they once did for on road driving. So, Whatever someone gets, we are often splitting hairs on which is “better”.

I run 285/75/17 they are what we usually think of as a 34 x 11.5 No lift needed for my 2012 JKUR.

I have the Geolanders on my Jeep JKU and they are great! The Jeep came with the crappy bfg mud terrains that were terrible in everything but mud. The Geolanders on the other hand are amazing in snow, mud, sand, rocks, and wet pavement. At the time (May 2019) they were cheaper than the Nitto for a 35x12.5x17 E rated tire.

Should talk about the weight of the tire and how that impacts your vehicle.

Thinking about the Yokohama! Sound like a great tire. I also like to be different and don’t see a lot of them in my town

[kimcaldwell]

I have the Yokohama's on my 2017 JKU, in 35/12.5/17 size. The tires have 35k miles on them and have 12/32 tread depth left. They have been a great tire for me, no complaints. I will be replacing them with the same tire only in a 37/12.5/17. I'm sure the new tires will perform just as well as my older ones did. I live in Michigan so I see mud, rocks, sand, snow, and pavement, these tires were great, all year round.

I got the Yokohama Geolandar mt g003.. .quiet great traction on snow and mud..the determining factor why I bought them instead of the nitto is the sidewall tread lugs looks awesome on 2020 3rd gen tacoma!

[michaelhorn]

My mud claw mtx tires are the ultimate tire with a 12 ply and f load rating! Best tires I've ever owned and I love the way they sing on the road

[alexpaula]

geolandar mt #1 on the market best tire on ice deep snow light snow off rd wet or dry is a good tire i got 4 years out of them daily driver and work for plowing snow never got stuck

Man, what a great YouTube site. Great information and knowledge being passed on!

I prefer the look of the Nitto. It’s sidewal and tread just have a great aggressive look. That being said, the Geolander isn’t bad at all.

I personally believe it’s time for Nitto to take a big risk and update the trailgrappler.

I’d like to see additional siping focused on wet road and snow. That being said… I don’t want them to look much different than they do, again their a great iconic looking tire.

As far as the Yoko’s…. I prefer a more Nitto looking tread edge and sidewall.

Good news is… we have some really great options.

I’d like to see the Atturo Trail Blade. Just not certain where it falls in comparison to the Yoko’s or Nittos.

In my area, the Trail Grapplers and Cooper STT Pro are the most recommended for off-roaders. I unfortunately did the the Mud Grapplers by Nitto, and they don't work that well in our area. I think it typically boils down to the terrain you are normally hitting. It varies a lot across regions.

i have the Yoks on my truck and they are deceptively quiet on road but grip BIG in mud and terrain. In places where i used to use 4x4 i just trust the Yoks to get me out. fantastic tire. My sister runs the BFGs on her Tundra and theyre great, but louder on road and questionable in the mud compared to the Yoks. the sidewall tread works great as well. these are super good tires for everything except maybe rock crawler scenarios. they are noticeably less grippy on dry pavement, but thats not what i got them for

Nice clips of Rocket Rod! I see someone is a 4WD-247 fan!😁

[jasonbidwell]

I’ve had my 295/70/18 Yokohama G003’s for 2 years and put 64, 000 miles on them and still have about 4/32’s of tread left. They are on my 2017 JKU sport and I’ll be replacing with the same tire.

You do understand that the nittos used at KOH are a different tire than the ones consumers buy right? KOH nittos are a K spec tire made for racing

[cannonslawson]

I have a set of 35x12.5x17 Yokos on my JLU. I really like them so far. Super quiet on the road, great in dirt and mud. Haven’t spent a lot of time on rocks yet. They were also $40 cheaper than nittos for me.

[DonkeyKick]

Almost a year and 12, 000 miles on my G003s, 215/75r15 C on a LWB Sidekick. They're not quiet, and they scared the heck out of me when I got caught in freezing mist on paved mountain roads.
I don't care though, because they've been incredibly durable while tracking straight, and in most scenarios where I lose a little traction the tread almost acts like a lug-based ABS, "stuttering" the vehicle through turns perfectly to make it look like I did it on purpose, and with style. They turned my Sidekick into a rally trucklet, and handle the rain just fine. They're lightweight, less than 5 lbs. extra per corner than the garbage OEM sized street tires I bought it with. They resist punctures surprisingly well, and hardly pick up any gravel at all, especially compared to my old Cooper AT3 4S I had on a previous truck.

I won't be bothering with other M/Ts or A/Ts for a while, these are just too impressive.

[rockie]

Ive had mud grapplers, trail grapplers, stt pro, geolander goo3 all on a f150 crew cab loaded down with camping gear in the Rockies. Just installed another set of geolanders on my brand new truck if that tells you anything.

I love that the Yoko footage was from 4wd24-7 here in Australia 😁
