Yokohama Geolandar G91A All Season Truck & SUV Tire in P225/65R17

ALL GRIP OPINIONS ARE WITH AN AWD VEHICLE (I am unable to tell how much the AWD system might be compensating for poor tire traction so please keep that in mind)

Wet:
Tire grip upon normal and hard acceleration is completely adequate. Cornering on highway and slight curves in city conditions is adequate with no sudden loss of grip and tire felt planted.
Normal and hard braking grip was adequate with no loss of grip or sudden sliding.
I have not experienced deep enough water at speeds capable of hydroplaning (nor do I wish to) to give this a rating.

Dry:
Same as wet ratings above. Did not notice any significant change.

Ride (< 50 MPH):
Small and large bumps are felt however they are not harsh. Overall ride is acceptable at lower speed.

Ride (> 50 MPH):
Tire becomes rather stiff causing not only small bumps to be felt more but large bumps also start to intrude. At highway speeds greater than 70 MPH this becomes very noticeable and can start to be uncomfortable at times.

Noise (< 50 MPH):
Noise is kept to a background hum and is not intrusive. Majority of road surfaces are quiet with rougher roads just starting to intrude into the cabin at ~45 MPH.

Noise (>50 MPH):
Noise goes from a quiet background hum to a louder rumbling as speed increases. At 60+ MPH noise is very much present and is intrusive. On some road surfaces noise can become so loud that it completely overwhelms the cabin.

Winter:
Unable test as I do not live in such a climate.

Overall would not recommend these tires. They are expensive for poor highway ride and noise even though grip seems to be better than expected with a B traction grade (probably AWD compensating).

These tires came standard OEM on my 2016 Mazda CX-5 Touring FWD. I would say they've handled pretty well over the past 5 years. I live in the SW and have encountered minimal heavy rain, wet conditions (no snow or ice)...but mainly HOT DRY weather in the SW and Arizona. Talking temps in the 110 degree range. I dont drive the car often. I'm only at 14,000 miles on a 2016 (with tires manufactured date in 2/2015)...but apparently I am suffering from dry rot now even though my traction is still quite good. They're saying infrequent driving and exposure to the heat and UV rays is what's doing it. But I see other users have noted dry rot as an issue. So overall...I like the performance of the tire. I haven't had any issues with that as just a city driver with some highway/freeway runs. But I'm just disappointed with the prevalence of dry rot.

Theses were standard equipment on my 2015 Mazda Cx-5 Sport (AWD). Tire makers have to find a lot of compromises when they design tires for OEM fitment and Yokohama did a decent job but I don't think I'll buy these again. The CX-5 rides very comfortably while still being very responsive and balanced and these tires are part of the reason why. I suspect that poorer-quality tires would be really noticeable on this vehicle. They have gotten great traction in the wet and dry for me on many surfaces although I haven't put them through a lot of mud or sand. The steering feel is good for a vehicle of this nature and road feel is great without being harsh.

The CX-5 also seems like it skimps on sound-deadening insulation and the aggressive tread creates noticeable road noise on surfaces like concrete that the vehicle doesn't muffle. I can accept this trade-off but like others here I have been disappointed by their traction in very cold snow even when they were new, in comparison to other AWD vehicles I've driven that didn't have dedicated snow tires.

My main reason for wanting something different is that they are significantly worn with 25,000 miles on a fairly light vehicle that isn't powerful and isn't driven aggressively. They must have pretty soft rubber, considering their 280 treadwear rating. I suppose this is another trade-off required for all of their good ride and handling qualities but I would probably go for something longer-wearing next time. Maybe I would live to regret that though if the car doesn't drive as nicely.

I am quite surprised at all of the negative reviews. These tires came stock on my 2021 Mazda CX-5 Touring with all wheel drive. At 38,886 miles, they are in great shape.

Maintenance is everything. These have been rotated at each oil change - roughly every 7500 miles. Tire pressure has been monitored meticulously. I inflate these to 36 psi .

Snow is not an issue living in South Florida, so I can't offer anything when it comes to their performance in that environment. But traction is pretty important down here. Our big challenge is the daily buckets of rain we get during the summer rainy season. I've had to drive in the worst of it and have not experienced a single incident of hydroplaning or skidding.

I bought my car new and have had it almost three years to the day. The Florida sun and high humidity cause dry rot on just about every rubber product that gets outdoor exposure. These tires show no hint of anything like that.

My CX-5 has averaged more than 32 MPG over the life of this set of tires.

I'm confident these tires will get me to 50,000 miles. I'd give these a solid 4 out 5. While I am happy with them, I am not opposed to exploring other options that might give me a quieter and/or smoother ride.

Came as OE on my Mazda CX5. Very quiet. Handled exceptionally well in all driving from 75mph on Montana mountain interstates to some aggressive driving on twisty country Tennessee roads. With these tires my CX5 handled better than most sporty cars I've owned. Great wet weather performance; good grip and minimal hydroplaning even in heavy rains at highway speeds. No problems with any of the wet weather Puget Sound threw at them. Only encountered a couple of light snows, the Geolanders did OK. Have averaged 28.9 mpg over the life of the tires.
At 40,000 miles the tread on a couple of the tires is down to 4/32s, so looking for replacements. I'm sorry to see so many other reviewers having problems with these tires, now I'm not sure I want to get another set of Geolanders.

OE on my Crosstrek Hybrid. Rotation every 6,000 miles with alignment checks. Worn down to wear bars at 30,000 of highway and city driving. Unsafe and dangerous in snow and ice. Terrifying in anything more than light rain at highway speeds. Decent on mud and dirt low speed driving but poor traction in the wet. The tire is relatively expensive as well. Certainly there is a better tire out there.

One of if not the worst tire I've ever had on a vehicle! Marginal dry traction and dangerous wet traction. Will break loose in rain with no warning at a driving level that's pretty lame. Have 19k on these right now and they'll do good to make it to 25k. The last pair of Yokahomas I had made it to 80k and had twice the traction of these. For a set of tires to not make it at LEAST to 40 k now days is nothing less than cheating in my opinion. Will probably go with Coopers next time.

OEM on Mazda CX-5. Nothing but problems with uneven wear and road noise even with rotations at recommended intervals. The wet traction is horrible on southern roadways, even experienced hydroplaning on roadways with minimal standing water (caused the Traction control to attempt to correct the slide). The road noise is relentless and reminds me of why I got the Bose radio system, but the thrumming sound is always there... The only improvement of a slight reduction in bad tendencies was inflation to almost max psi (42 psi) but this causes worse feel as the tires are above vehicle recommendations and you can feel every pebble in the road.

These tires are absolutely terrible on any kind of snow. I was out this past weekend and it started to snow. We only had about a 1/4 inch on the ground and I skidded four times. I will be replacing them this week. The scary part is that I just realized that my wife has the same tires on her 2017 Subaru Forester. I guess that we will be replacing those too.

These Geolandars were OEM with my CX-5.They are worthless in any snow and are dangerous in wet road conditions. They needed to be replaced after less than 30,000 miles. They are now bald at 33,000 miles. Just horrible performing tire in anything worse than dry roads.

OEM on my 2017 Subaru Forester. At 38,000 I still have a at least 15k-20k of tread left. Despite this I plan to get rid of these tires this year and switch to crossclimate+. The geolanders are dangerous to drive in the winter in MN. I had no confidence with even a hint of ice/snow. It was a skating rink. These would be fine for a warm climate but stay far away if living in a Northern State.

The tires have good handling and quick turning response for this type of tire. Traction is good for the 1st 10K miles, then it goes down hill. The main complaint for me is poor tread life. Down to the wear bars at 23,500 miles.

With only 36,000 Miles on these tiers they are completely bald ! I drive daily and don't do anything hardcore to them.

Do not buy these.

I have always loved this brand of tire and was happy to see they were original equipment on my new 2016 Mazda CX-5.
I'm a 62 year old woman and do not drive a car recklessly.
Imagine my surprise when the tires needed replaced at only 25,200 Miles.
Needless to say, I won't be buying this brand again.
