go to a tyre shop for rotations dealers know nothing about tyres or rotations your uneven wear pattern is also a good reason to prefer symmetrical (or asymmetrical) tyres over directional ones anyway - appreciate the review as i'm interested in these for myself (don't get Pirelli Scorpion AT Plus unless you like a lot of noise, as I run these now; traction is fine though)
Have them on my VW T6 4x4 in 255/55r18 for about 20.000km now. Before a had Cooper Weathermaster WCS on the van in the same dimension. The Yoko is a bit quiter but stiffer when in comes to little bumps. Steering feels a bit more direct. The Yokos are way better off road, equal in wet conditions and not as good but still very acceptable in dry and snowy conditions. The Cooper lastet about 55.000km, my impression is that the Yoko wears a bit faster but not very much. Both tires are a great choice on road in all seasons.
Considering these exact tires, size and everything, for my Ram 1500 because I plan on getting a Travel Lite or Palomino slide in camper. These or the Nokian Outpost AT's- they weigh 10'lbs less per tire and seem to kick gravel rocks a bit better and still provide awesome 4 season weather/highway driving. The problem with the Nokian's is the plant is over seas and they haven't started making them in the states yet so shortages seem to be an issue right now.
G015 have been some of the best around At Ive had. Not the most aggressive tyres by far. But never had a puncture and plenty of offroad etc. On road great performance in the wet exceptional. Will definitely replace with same model or the g016
I ran the Geolandar Yokohama for eight years and it was a fantastic tire. Must be why they are putting them on vehicles at the factory now. Thanks for watching.
I have the Geolandar G015s size LT275/65 20 on my 2021 Silverado 2500HD and really like these tires. I drive in every weather condition , rain ,sleet , snow , dirt roads , highway, 5th wheel towing etc. and have performed great. I too currently have 30,000 miles and they are measuring 6/32 remaining. I rotate every +/- 7,000 miles. Overall great tire. This is the 4th set I've had on 2 different trucks, with consistent results.
Yes, I really like the Geolandars, they have performed well in all conditions for me. Plus they are not noisy. I've had them since 2017 and would recommend them to anyone.
Im highly interested in these tires for my silverado. Your videos have really helped me out alot. My biggest concern is how they handle corners? Keep hearing that they dont handle corners good. But everything else I've heard is good about the geolanders.
I live in the mountains and really drive my truck. I don't have a problem with them in the corners. They are a big tire supporting a heavy truck and do a great job. Thanks for watching.
Not sure what actual tire pressure you are running. I run 50 lbs front and rear on my LT 275/65 R18 on a 2014 Tundra SR5 4x4. Keep same pressure for towing the 6,500 travel trailer (pin weight 650 lbs w/ distribution hitch). I had the truck 4 wheeled aligned after new tires and after 7k miles still showing even wear and 16/32 on tread remaining. Maybe the front alignment could be in your future after getting new tires. Just my 2 cents. Great video !
I’ve got this same tire on my 22 F150. It’s been great for me. Only put about 5k on them so it’s great to hear your long term review! Now I’m thinking of picking up those method 316s 😄
Thanks for doing that review on those tires. I am about to replace the factory goodyears on my Tundra and trying to decide on tires. Like you, I am running a truck cap on mine and a little camping gear, so adds a little weight. I need something that is decently quiet and fairly smooth riding on the highway for long trips, especially in the rain, yet something that will hold up to some rough gravel and dirt roads. (Yet, I don't need mud tires or real rock crawlers.) So been thinking maybe these Yokahoma or Cooper AT34S, Terrian Contact AT, Falken Wildpeak about the limit probably. Tough decision, looking maybe an XL load or maybe lt d or e load if I can find a light one. Don't want to mess up the ride too much. So with your e load, have you noticed any negatives on that one, as far as responsiveness, I know Yokahomas are a bit lighter than most others so ought to do better in that regard than most? Your exactly right on with what tires cost, they need to take their time and put them on right and do it until it is right! Really does not matter the cost, if they care about the customer at all, or have some basic appreciation for their profession, they need to do it right, whatever it is and say thank you for the business. It is sad, yet seems that is lost these days in a lot of things.
The handling is great in the mountains, but I did replace my OEM shocks with Bilstein 5100s 2k after I purchased the truck. Those made a world of difference with handling. Thanks for watching.
do some research on tyre rotations. because they are a symmetrical tread you can also rotate them left to right as well as front to back. there are known patterns of how to rotate them properly
@@828findadventurecool. you might be interested in getting the new generation replacement tyre for the G015. You can look it up online where it has been presented in Sweden a month or so ago. It's called Yokohama Geolandar A/T4 G018 and it is also 3PMSF rated. It looks like an evolution of the newer style tread pattern from the Geolandar CV 4S G061
The E-class are very heavy-duty, I think I have pulled two screws, one piece of scrap metal, and one earring out of them. LOL I will try to film something the next time. Note: none of those objects leaked air.
Thanks for the video. Just purchased a 2023 Tacoma SR5 v6 4x4, I just installed Bilstein’s 5100 front and back which raised the front 2” and installed a 1” supreme suspension block in the back. Now getting rid of the 245/75R/16 Toyo tires and looking for 265/75R/16 tires. I was considering the ko2’s and Revo 3 but saw so many complaints about balancing, I live in FL so I need something that handles hydroplaning, plus I travel to Upstate NY in the winter so the roads that I travel are dirt roads and snow so I need tires that handle this also. Any suggestions will definitely be appreciated, but these tires look good.
My personal choice is the Yokohamas, but they are not high mileage tires. With my driving in the mountains I think I will get around 35k. Thanks for commenting.
I live in Orlando, Florida I travel to the Appalachian often. The Toyo Open Country AT3 is the best overall tires it is a 3 peak mountain rated it quiet great in rain, snow and off road
@@828findadventure I do think the Yokohama Geolander AT look better than the Toyo AT3 but my main concern about the Yokohama is it light off-road and the snow performance. Where do you live how did it performed in snow or mud?
@@321thach here’s a video on did on the same tire but in snow. Note: these are 18” and E-class heavy duty tires. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9pOLgC-R98A.htmlsi=gKnCIxrB5K2crgJE
@@828findadventure thank you, I will order this tires for my Tacoma next time. It is a 3 Peak Mountain rating, great on wet road, better on gas mpg than most AT tires and it come with a 60,000 miles tread warranty. It seem like the perfect tires for my Tacoma for on road daily driving and light off-road trail in the Appalachian mountain
Thanks for the video sir. I’m considering these on my 23 Ridgeline in 265/60/18 size, do you think I will be happy with them? I some of highway driving and some city, (60/40%) and on occasion country roads as we live in a small town of Virginia.
@@828findadventure thank you sir, comparing to your recent set of wildpeak at3’s, which ones you prefer? If I am looking mainly for comfortable highway road ride?
@@Coffeeinthusiast1 I really like the rugged treat pattern of the Wildpeaks compared to the Geolandars. Even thought the AT3s ride smooth on our Ridgeline, the Geolandars would probably be even smoother, based on tread design. Note: they have all the same features just different design in the tread.
Nice vid, I might yet try them next time around. I currently run Cooper AT3 275/70/18 and like them very much. I find I'm best at about 44PSI cold. I went with the coopers because they are the lightest of all the E class tires, that may be a good thing or bad depending how you look at it. May I ask what pressure you run?
I run 42-44psi cold which seems to be the sweet spot. Driving on a hot day, long distance they may hit 50, but settle once parked in the shade. Thanks for commenting,
Exact same for me. .. So I'll assume you to know that if your tires heat up to 51psi you get a MIL warning... until they cool down. Apparently Toyota TPMS system was not programmed to accept any value above 50. Threw me for a loop the first time, till I logically thought about it. Sure enough, once they cooled down to drop psi below 50, all MIL warnings vanished. 🤣
Keep it in mind, if you heat up over 50psi, you'll get a big warning alert that your TPMS is malfunctioning, do not rely on this system, visit your dealer.
Right now in the winter night cold, they are around 36-38 psi, but jump to 40º as soon as I go a few miles. 42psi cold is my optimal for how my truck is loaded. In the hot 90º summer traveling on the highway, they will expand to 50 psi. Disclaimer: Always run what the manufacturer suggests/recommends.Thanks for watching.
You’re just going through turns/roundabouts too quickly. Slow down and you will eliminate the wear of the outside edges of your tyres. I got 120,000 kilometres (75,000 miles) out of a set of G015’s
Interesting fact. At 200,000km I put another set of G015’s on but the car was driven exclusively by my step daughter. Worn out at 50,000km requiring replacement recently. Driving style was the only difference. They were excessively worn on the outer edges, on the left front (we drive on the left in Australia) due to speed through roundabouts. Tyre rotation just spread the joy to all tyres. Thus the reason for my original comment. There is a cost to be paid for “spirited” driving for the sake of a few seconds.
Never had a problem on rough roads. The road leading to my house hasn’t been paved in thirty years so it peels up all the time. Tires handled it well. Thanks for asking.
I have never owned the G91 tire. I do have many lengthy reviews on my channel on the GO15. Just search Yokohama on my channels home page. Thanks for watching.
I agree. Nothing more pathetic than a shop that sells tires but doesn't have the staff to balance them properly. I've had a lot of bad experiences. So now, before I buy, I wander back to the work area. If I see a majority of techs under 35-ish years of age...no thanks. I know that job will never be done properly. I go to the next tire shop that has adults working.
Installing these tomorrow 265/70/R17 on 2022 4Runner TRD Off Road rims tomorrow and will follow up on thoughts vs. "screaming" factory Nitto Ridge Grapplers in a few weeks. This size is a white letter but we're installing the white letters to the inside; this is possible with the symmetrical tread design. If you're seeing outer shoulder wear with proper rearward cross-rotation (should be used on rear and 4WD) it's usually driving style or alignment issues which can be inherent with larger vehicles. Great review.
Mine did too and I attributed it to my driving in the mountains. BUT, when I got new tires Toyota did my alignment and said they took care of the issue. I have driven 500 miles since and they seem to be wearing even. Maybe I got lucky with a tech that cares.
Getting a set put on my truck on Wednesday. Had them on my Mitsubishi and now having a set on my Nissan. No complaints, fine on the road and better offroad than expected.
I have a Toyota RAV4. I’ve taken it on two separate occasions to two separate Toyota dealers and both times they didn’t rotate the tires like they were supposed to. one of the tires is different. Therefore the tires down is different. That’s how I caught them so you hope they rotated your tires. I will say I’m not a fan of Toyota dealers for servicing. I go to a local garage now.
My Toyota dealer Techs do a good job on major service, but their express lube newbies do not. This means you have to double-check their work, including tire rotation and lug nut torque. Always request crisscross tire rotation on any vehicle that does not have directional tires. Thanks for watching.
Well, if snows here again in the mountains of the southeast I'll give a long-term update in the snow. I will tell you with 30k on the tires I do notice some wet surface spin if I floor it in the rain. I have the 4.11 gearing and they will break loose on wet surfaces more now than when new.
