Yokohama Geolandar G91F 

I don't understand all the negative reviews on this tire. I have not driven it in snow or ice but on dry asphalt and wet it does a great job. Down here in Florida we get daily rainstorms, not just a drizzle but torrential downpours. I have no problem with hydroplaning whatsoever. The Crosstrek feels stable and planted at all times and it has always been a comfortable ride. I've also taken it on some trails and obviously would not rate it a 10 on gravel, sand, or rocky surfaces but how much can you expect from an all season highway tire? Comfortable ride, little road noise, not bad for oem tire.

I did not purchase these tires from Tire rack. They came on my newly purchased 2018 Subaru Crosstrek. I actually was surprised at how well the tires preformed on dry roads. They hold the car steady in tight, fast cornering and accelerate and break very well. I was VERY surprised and SHOCKED how well they handled in rain whether it was light, medium, or a down-pour. I was coming off an off ramp...maybe to fast since my confidence driving in heavy rain went way up. I thought to myself "oh man, this is not gonna be good!". My tires didn't slide out one bit. Currently, we have had 15 inches of snow over the past few days in the Seattle/Lake Stevens area, so you may want to know, can they handle snow, or are they crap? I am VERY surprised and shocked of what I got out of them so far. I can roll through 3-6 inches of snow with no problem, and plowed through 15 inches of snow with ease. I'm trying to figure out if it's the tires, or the Subaru. I can drive up a hill in the snow...shallow or deep, as well as go down a hill with ease. I feel comfortable enough to park and stop in 15 inches of snow, and drive out of it later with ease. Slush was no problem either or hard packed ice. Now to clarify, slush and ice was driven on with care and patience but it still did well. And breaking on the snow was good, but not perfect and the slush and icebreaking were worse so with these tires, if like on any tires, give yourself distance to the situation you are in. And no, they do NOT perform like a now tire, but if you drive with common sense, these tires will take care of you in dry, rainy, snowy and slush roads if you're a good driver. I felt I needed to write a review on these tires since I've seen some bad reviews on them on some sites. Like I said, we have 15 inches on snow on the ground now. It is also currently snowing now, and we'll be getting 3-8 inches more tonight and have 5 more snow days to come in 8 days. They are serving me & my car well.

Best OEM tire I've had on any vehicle. I drive mostly highway and I drive the same in wet and light snow as I do in dry at highway speeds of 55 to 70 mph. No hydroplaning. This is my first All Wheel Drive and it has anti-sway so I don't know if that helps with the stability. 32,000 miles on these tires and there is still 8/32 of tread left. I have these tires rotated every 5,000 miles or less and keep the tire pressure near maximum. There is nothing I can say bad about these tires. I hope Yokohama hasn't discontinued them unless they replaced them with something better.

These are the OEMs on my 2014 Forester. I used them on an 8k mile trip around the US that was mostly highway but also involved some light offroad use in the Western deserts. They now have 20k on them of mixed highway, city and back road travel. Although I live in the northeast I have used these in virtually every setting you can think of other than mud.

The Good: These tires are fantastic on the highway. They are quite, response, have excellent wet and dry traction and help with gas mileage. On the highway I am able to match or exceed the EPA MPG rating on my Forester 2.5 Premium. For day to day three season driving these tires are excellent. They were entirely adequate for "soft roading" and some rock/gravel and sand trails on BLM lands in Wyoming. During intense downpours and wind storms these tires never hydroplanned or gave any hint of skittishness.

The Bad: These tires are abysmal in the winter. After my first winter with them I now run a set of Nokian winter tires seasonally. With Nokian WRG3 SUVs my fuel economy dropped by 10% compared with the Yokos however.

Conclusion: Yes these are terrible as "all seasons" but they are quite good as 3 season tires for general day to day use in that setting. I am torn between buying another set, having worn two out due to an alignment issue, and replacing with an AT tire for more adventure touring travel. I am not sure I want to give up the positives of this tire for the added rough condition traction. I really have no complaints now that I have a set of winter tires to compliment these. If you live outside the snow belt and do a lot of highway travel I would recommend these without hesitation, at least for a Forester.

The Yokohama Geolandar 91 tires are the original tires on my Subaru Forester 2014 and I have driven on them 60K km so far. I bought my car in March 2013 and they performed very well in the first two winters of 2014 and 2015. I live in Ottawa and we have a lot of snow in the winter. Considering the tires are all-season, they were great in the first two winters. This winter I had to drive with caution as the tread was 5/16 in the beginning of December but I decided to keep them till they are completely worn out. With such tread it was not a nice drive in the deep snow or on the icy roads. The tires are great in the wet conditions. I like Forester's acceleration performance and the tires are very stable while cornering. However they are my first tires which have the sidewall cracks that appeared at around 45-50K kilometres, I had before Michelin and Toyo tires on Mazda 3. These tires have done nice job as all-season tires and the only issue is the treadwear performance. If I make on them 70K km it will be nice and in the range of other rivals tread wear warranty terms. I will replace them this year with another Yokohama tires , probably with Avid Ascend that recommended by the dealership service centre.

Yes, I agree that snow traction not the best. But for the dry or wet road they are awesome. And I have raced competitively -I drive the snot out of this car around every corner. Someone has seriously criticized the longevity?

These tires came on my 2015 Forester and I have 84,000+ miles on them. My dealer says I have nearly 40% tread life left -- amazing!! Very comfortable ride and great handling. Mostly highway use in my case. Would definitely buy again. I am in the process of changing the wheels and putting these tires on my wife's 2017 Forester Touring model to improve the ride comfort. The Touring model has 18" rims and 55 profile series tires which contribute to a much harder ride.

The vehicle was clearly designed with these tires. They are quiet, they wear very well (I got 65,000 miles out of the first set), and grip just fine. They add to the "alive" feeling of the vehicle and are tuned to the suspension perfectly. On the right road, they make no sound. They ride very nicely and perform fine at the boat launch, on gravel, in deep sand on the beach, and towing my trailers. Overall, love these tires and I'll certainly buy them again.

Original equipment tires for my 2014 Subaru Forester. Just competed a 4000km trip from Port Angeles to Las Vegas returning via Los Angeles to Vancouver, BC. Impressed with the ride comfort and performance of these tires, especially on the corners going down hill at reasonable speed. Have not driven in the snow but I know that they are not snow tires but with the Foresters all wheel drive do not foresee problems in light to moderate snow.

This you're was on the car when I purchased it brand new from the dealership. I replaced them at 74,000+ miles! I was amazed at how long they lasted. I'm not easy on my vehicles. I live on a dirt road and do a good combination of country roads, city and highway driving. I'll purchase again!

These tires came on our car and still have a lot of tread on them at the 50K mark. The typical experience is that original equipment tires do not last long, yet these hold the road well, have just begun to get a bit noisy, but are still very good in wet conditions. We have followed a strict rotation and air pressure regime. When I took the car to a tire dealer to have the tires evaluated he couldn't believe the car had 50,000 miles and recommended I get another set of Yokohamas. We certainly will.

OEM on the 25 Forester. No issues with them for summer and no noted hydroplane in summer wet. Frankly if this was dry seldom snow country, they would be acceptable. I would still move to get a better tire that does the edge seasons even if all you had was edge seasons.

Winter: The scary part was the random total lack of braking on what I call X. It was ok on ice normally. Ok in snow pretty much all conditions. For X conditions, suddenly there was ZERO traction for stopping, none, pure frictionless. Going slow I slid 200 feet at one point and I was not moving fast, slowing down for a left turn lane with the light against me so I knew I had to stop. That is just nuts. I have had some like tires on ice, not great but not that bad. I would rate them ZERO for that reason, for no fault of yours using all normal winter precautions you could hit someone or something when you were giving more than due dligence.

X Condition baffled me. It was not ice, it was not new snow on ice. It was a bit older snow on some older ice. Not what I ever experienced with the worst tire ever before. I had the one 200 ft slide (looking to stuff into a berm) and one shorter, same thing but less slide but zero stop for too long. I was able to catch thick snow at the edge of the lane and could then slow down. When I got home, I checked the street, I saw nothing for a cause. MO was to do test braking at all times any trip.

Its other Zero would be the sudden break out in a turn on ice (known ice, pushing it a bit but not hard). Phew. No warning, only avoidance was to stay well off any speed on a 90 deg turn (or 45).

First winter ok, this winter when it manifested, I discussed with my wife and got Blizzaks at about $2000, it had to stop (in all senses of the meaning). Zero because I could not determine from conditions when it was going to go from so so to nothing. A pox on these tires. Subaru AWD buy should be ashamed.

It's the stock tire from the manufacturer. Not great, not terrible. Except in the snow. These things stink in the snow.
