Yokohama Geolandar CV G058 Crossover & SUV Tire in 255/65R18

I like these tires, wet traction is so much better than the stock ones.

I previously had yokohamas geolandars g91hv blue earth on my 2015 toyota rav4, (new england), i purchased the new cv g058 , great tires in the rain espcecially on off ramps, quiet tires and great looking tire treads, i would definitely buy these again .

This is an update to my original review from November 2020. After driving through three more heavy rainfalls at highway speeds, aggressive driving on wet curvy on/off ramps, I can honestly say that the Geolandar CV G058 are truly wonderful. Yokohama nailed it with this all-season SUV/CUV touring tire. Get them.

The oem Falken tires that came on my '19 Forester were absolutely scary to drive on. They would squeal on on/off-ramps like I was speeding while doing a moderate speed. They felt darty on dry roads. They were also scary to drive on in the rain. It rained the day I bought the car and they scared the crap out of me. I have a vintage muscle car on bias-ply tires that handles better than the OEM tires. I was hesitant to change out tires with low miles on them but ultimately decided on these. There weren't many reviews but I've had great experiences with this brand in the past.

I live on a mountain with a mix of gravel road and paved. The paved roads are very windy and often hundreds of feet of elevation change in a short distance. These tires exceeded my expectations. They handle as well on dry roads as they do wet. I also have no problem getting off my mountain when there is moderate snow and ice (driving carefully). Previously even with my descent control, I would slide around, but these tires keep me locked on the road for moderate east coast ice/snow events. We didn't get any snow past 6inches this season so I can't say how they do in deep snow (I would just stay home anyway). I can say for certain that I get up and down the mountain with these better than my neighbors 4x4 with snow/offroad tires.

I feel comfortable saying these feel very much like a summer tire on a small SUV in the warmer months, and in the winter and rain, they have the traction of high-quality 4 season offroad tires for road use. They're also super quiet. I'm not afraid of my "new" car on dry roads anymore. Honestly, this was probably my happiest tire purchase in decades and my 4th or 5th set from Tirerack. Even if I get half the mileage claim that these have I would be happy to buy another set.

Very smooth and quiet ride...Excellent on wet roads and very good with snow

Vehicle has nearly 200K miles, so looking to economize on $ spent. Previous sets of tires were Michelin (Pilot and Defender), both great, but expensive. Got lucky with sale on these Yokohama tires, and even though not much mileage yet, I can say they are quieter. Also recently had snow and ice, with an inclined driveway, able to go down and up without slipping at all. Very pleased I was able to save money and get a quality product.

For my street/ highway use application in Southern California, this is a very good tire. My family races cars, not this one however, so we are familiar with tires. This tire provides good road feel feedback, very good wet and dry traction in acceleration, braking, corning, starting on steep hills and is comfortable and quiet. The ride quality is noticeably better than the factory tires and other tires we have used in the past. I have not noticed any fuel mileage differences. The appearance is a nice balance between a street/ SUV tire with just a hint of off road styling. The tread is deep with narrow blocks and can pick up small rocks. Mounting this tire is tricky because the side walls are soft and getting the first air in to seal the bead takes an aggressive blast of air. After they are mounted we have no issues. I am very happy with this tire and will replace them with the same when the time comes. We have had this car for 18 years and driven 260,000 miles and this is the best tire we have had on this car.

I purchased this tire because my wife has them on her 2009 Hyundai Santa Fe and the tires were so quiet and the ride was so nice. I put them on my 2016 Honda CRV EX-L and the ride is so nice. They are a very nice tire. I had them filled with Nitrogen and all tires were balanced and the car had a 4 wheel alignment. I am very Happy with my purchase. Tire Rack has been great and I picked up the tires from the Delaware Tire Rack place. I got fast service and I saved some money doing this.

The OEM tires were Yokohamas, which I was rather happy with. So, I thought I would try these, which appear to be Yokohama's most similar retail tires. My immediate thoughts were that these were better than the OEM tires in every way, including the aspects that were most important to me -- a smooth, quiet, comfortable ride. I remain extremely pleased with that. I find them to be entirely competent in terms of wet and dry grip -- I don't think I tend to drive in any kind of extreme manner, so I wouldn't say that I "push" them as such. But I've had plenty of experience in heavy rain, and I'm very happy with the grip -- I've had other tires in the past that hydroplaned dangerously, while these have done a very good job. And, I've had just a bit of experience in light snow. In the end, these are exactly what I hoped they would be -- nice and comfortable, better than the OEM tires, and very competent, all around.

Good ride quality and grip, especially in the rain. Very quiet. So far very impressed and would buy again.

Tire is responsive and has excellent wear characteristics. Good grip on snow and ice and in the light rain, high speeds and heavy rain tends to a little bit of instability but nothing attentive driving can't overcome. Front tire shoulders wore evenly but a little faster than the tread. Rotating regularly solves the problem. Excellent overall tire.

I purchased Yokohama Geolandars for my 2007 Toyota RAV4 and my 1999 Dodge Ram 1500. Of all the tires I've ever purchased for my cars, I have to say Geolandars are well worth the money.

I've gone the cheap route before and paid the price for failing lesser quality tires in the past, but I have yet to have a single Geolandar of the 6 I currently have fail on me. (3 more on the way to complete the switch over at the time of writing this)... I've managed several times to get 50-60k miles on cheap tires too. My experience here tells me they can last upwards of 80k miles before being done-done

My driving takes me into many large apartments where road cleanup is not great as well as salvage yard frequently. Not to mention in town and highway driving. These tires are no joke good.

My only "Complaint" with them is they're not stellar with snow or icy conditions but keep in mind my truck is rear wheel only... My car is front wheel only. So I have experienced some icy conditions with both types of drives. This "May" just be as simple as my cars not having 4WD or AWD.

Also one last thing to mention. I'm a very apprehensive person who reads reviews with a grain of salt and I'm skeptical about a lot of things... When I'm enthusiastic about a product it's because it's a VERY good product. I can tell you that I will be back when the time comes and I will be sticking with the Geolandar series. Buy into the Geolandar series and you very likely won't have to worry about them failing prematurely.

Thanks for reading and I sincerely hope everyone who buys these for their SUVs or Trucks have the same great experience with these tires.

Love these tires have over 50k miles on them looks like I have around another 20k I could go approximately. Quiet and great traction tire. When I am ready to buy I will buy these again.
