Probably depends on your comparison, really. They'll use more than OE highway tyres, but less than some more aggressive tyres. They're really a street oriented all terrain tyre, so you get the benefits of both, but they behave nicely on the road and have less rolling resistance. So... maybe less than some AT tyres that are more aggressive, but more than a less aggressive tyre? I know that's probably not that helpful 🤣
I'm UK based and have a 2005 LC4 J120 Land cruiser or Prado for the Australisian market, I was dead set on the Geolander G015's as a replacement, but then the forum I use for info had many saying buy the BF Goodrich AT K02'S. However this video has steered me back to my original intention. The car is 80% a road family hauler, I use it once a week for hunting where it see's mostly grassy fields and rutted mud paths. so should be the perfect match. Especially as im also buying the same size as reviewed here.
Good to hear! The BFG has a great reputation that's been earned over many years, but there's also a bunch of new tyres on the market that mean that the BFG should just be the default choice - it comes down to useage, planned trips etc, rather than being a one-brand-fits-all. Let us know how you go!
Yokohama Geolanders are the only tire that Canyonlands Jeep Rentals in Moab, UT, puts on their Jeeps, and it's the first thing they do when they get a new Jeep. So they are indeed well suited to rock crawling. I have a set on order for my Nissan Frontier.
@@TyreReviewVideos Check out Yokohama Australia's channel. March 19, 2017. Jeeps on slickrock in Moab! :) (I rented from Canyonlands a few years ago and had a great time in the Utah high desert)
I run same tire size and style on my 17 GX 460 or Prado for you Australians. Amazing tire. Comfortable and no issues balancing it. I go off road trails all the time with no issues.
My prado keep slipping rear wheels on drive steep hills and ruts. I was planning to get different brand and then I found this video. Is there anything I can do to get through that trail?
I've had them on my 2000 dodge Dakota since 2012 and put 58000 miles on them we've had like 6 snow storms we got 24 inches of snow and I put about 400 lbs. In the bed and I went up and down mountains and didn't have any trouble getting around. I just replaced them not because they wore out they had about 1/4 tread left but were getting alittle dry rot. So I got a new set. I love the tires
I’m putting a set on my WH/WK1 Jeep (245/65/17) for a round Oz trip including Cape York. It was a toss up between these and the dueller 697’s which are one of the toughest tyres out there. My father has the same model Jeep and is running the 697’s so should be interesting putting the two up against each other. We’ll be towing a heavy 3.2 tonne van also so their work will be cut out. I’ve got a mate that’s just put a set of GO16s on his 200 that is also doing the lap with a 3 tonne van. I couldn’t get those in my size but I think these 15’s will be fantastic. Any tyre company that stands behind their tyres like Yokohama does with their GO15 is very reassuring. I’ll provide feedback at the end of our trip.
I’m currently using these tyers and they seem to perform excellent and very comfortable though I have 2 inch lift kit, I can say they are softer than coopers or KO 2s
Question for you mate... In terms of highway use, wet roads, and sometimes gravel roads to get to a camping spot, would you recommend this Yokohama geolander go15 or the pirelli scorpion all-terrain plus ?
My Suzuki Jimny's stock Bridgestone Duelers have done 65k kms already and I'm looking into this as replacement. How's the fuel economy on the Geolander? Tnks!
Hey mate, the fuel economy on the Geolandar should be reasonable, as they're not an aggressive tread pattern, and they're not overly heavy. Weight might be something to consider with the Jimny, though - check out your size and the weight comparisons, as more weight will slow you down more.
@@TyreReviewVideos yep, I got it also on my Forester and loved them too but seems not so perfect on the side wall if you use it on strong rock trail....
@@rsmnh7892 G'day mate. I found the Bridgestone's to be a very road based tyre and as such there wasn't much noise at all. In saying that the GO15 are a very quiet tyre. I get more engine noise coming through the cab than tyre noise. I have been very impressed with these tyres and highly recommend them as a great all round tyre.
Cool video side not again I'm not sure if you've done this already or not I'm only a new subsidies. What would you recommend for a good mud tyres with out braking the bank something around 1500 for a set of 285/70/17s
That's actually a reasonably good budget! You'll get a fair way with most of the mid-high tier players in that size, but the Maxxis RAZR MT has been getting great reviews recently, but also check out Toyo, Kumho (they've got a new one coming, so might be doing the previous one at better prices), Hankook, Yokohama, Falken etc. Actually, I should practice what I preach, and mention that you can check out our top ranked MTs over here on the site: www.tyrereview.com.au/285-70-17-tyre-reviews?page=1&orderby=rating&order=desc&filters%5Bperformance_categories%5D%5B%5D=4WD%20Mud%20Terrain ~Jared
We just do reviews on the treads, so we can stay independent. Best to give your local tyre shops a ring around and see who can do the best price at the time, as it's always changing. Good to support local, too 🤘
Hi mate, they'd probably be okay for light to medium snow, and the occasional patch of ice, but I certainly don't think they'd be a good substitute for winter tyres if you're in that sort of situation.
Terrible tyre if tarmac is wet and tyre life was 45000kms maybe had a bad batch, good off-road and in the mud, will see if the scorpio atr plus is a better tyre
Hi mate, yep, the G015 will be good on the beach, as they're a more flexible road biased all terrain, rather than a heavier AT with more solid sidewalls.
The BFGs will be more aggressive, and have good chops in the gravel, so if it's relatively dedicated to that task, probably the BFGs would be the way to go. Then again, if you're going to be on a lot of slippery blacktop as well then the BFGs would be a little more slippery... although the X3 is full time AWD isn't it? So that might help there.
The best AT tire for Indonesian road conditions (wet, potholes, muddy, ect). I use them for all of my cars (Chevrolet All New Trailblazer 2019 265/65r18, Ford Ecosport 2016 215/65r16 and Kia Sonet 2021 235/60r16).
@@ole-martinlundefaret5876 gravel you'd be happy with either, I haven't heard any complaints about the K02 personally, but these seem to be pretty well liked as well.
Hey Ray, we don't get much snow/ice down here, but from what I hear they're pretty good from an All Season tyre perspective. They won't be a patch on dedicated winter tyres, though.
I use those now 30.000 kms on and pretty happy, mainly dirty lanes, farming, in snow they really impressive performance. They were recommended over the BF to get a less aggresive pattern for my daily farming use. An all-around good tyre off-road, on-road, wet and snow!.
Yeah, it's smick. I passed him on the street the other day after our drive, and was thinking "what a nicely put together bus" when I realised actually who it was after I'd passed him! It makes me want to clean up the Ranger a little 😬
I think that detracts from the HP! I'm vaguely tempted to go the shouty FORD grille, as the satin black on the grille is peeling and looks sh*t. It's all $$ though...
I've had them on 3 different vehicles. They are GREAT! Each time they lasted way past 60,000 miles with a comfortable ride. They perform terrific on dirt, gravel, - really good in the snow. Not good in mud.
I guess that depends on the stick you're measuring them by! We had them in snow and they performed comparably to the other tyres we had out that day, but if you're comparing them to a dedicated winter tyre, then there's no comparison, really.
