Yokohama  AVID GT

Tires came with my Subaru Outback Wilderness. Not overly impressed with the look and style and questioned it real ability to be an off-road capable tire. Pleasantly surprised by overall performance. I have run this tire through loose beach sands with no real issue, as well as recently off road during a camping weekend where the fire trails became sloppy grease mud after heavy rains.
Now, the performance of the tire may have been greatly helped by Subarus excellent drive AWD system. Highway road performance is quite good.
Due to its more expensive cost and some better reviewed tire brands, probably not purchasing again but once again, a good overall tire for OME and the average purchaser.

I have had these Yokos on my GX470 for about 5k miles and 4 months or so. I've been incredibly impressed with their dry and wet performance. They're quiet and smooth for an A/T tire, reminding me more of a highway or A/S tire. The wet performance is one of the best I've driven. It's stable and surefooted, braking is excellent, hydroplaning is almost non existent. When we got 5" of slushy snow the other day here in MA, I was somewhat underwhelmed with their performance, specifically in cornering. The GX's capable 4WD system made getting going a breeze and the tires faired well here, but once you turn the steering wheel, the truck was all over the road, it felt like the tires had grip then all of a sudden they didn't, also the truck was like a sled when braking. I'll contribute a lot of that to the weight (almost 5k lbs) and less the tires, but I think next season I'll pay for dedicated winter tires. They're by no means unsafe, and they'll certainly get the job done, but if you encounter frequent snow, do yourself a favor and get winter tires. I'd definitely recommend these tires though they're truly incredible in the dry and wet.

These tires have performed very well in extreme rain in highway conditions as well as general driving behavior. The tread wear is outstanding compared to the original OEM Goodyear. When towing a trailer at 8,000 lbs these tires performed predictably and braked well. I will purchase these again if they every wear out.

Tried to post this to the Yokohama homepage for review and they "moderated" (deleted it)

Researched replacements tires for my Tacoma extensively. The G015's sounded too good to be true and unfortunately they were. Yes, they're incredibly quiet on the road, very smooth with great dry traction, however these tires are a disaster in the snow, the very reason I bought them. Triple 3D sipes change shape as the tread wears to maintain biting edges for confident all-season traction… No, zero biting edges and zero confidence for me… Enduro Compound helps rubber remain pliable over a broad range of temperatures for enhanced braking and handling in wet and snow… They failed to handle two inches of wet snow and slush… Failed to make it up my driveway, limited slip kicked in as I slid back down the driveway. Got a "running" start, same result... Two inches of wet snow and slush on a gravel driveway and zero traction on tires with Triple 3D Sipes and Enduro Compound… Had to engage 4H to make it up the incline, ridiculous… What aggravates me the most is I missed my 30 day satisfaction guarantee replacement by 10 days. Unfortunately I can't predict the weather… Yokohama, rather than cut and paste your blanket corporate statement "We appreciate your feedback about the performance for our tires. We've passed your comments on to our product development team to help them with future products. Yokohama Tire Consumer Affairs"… which says absolutely nothing, I'd appreciate a phone call or helpful information here that can help myself and other consumers. Couldn't be anymore disappointed with these tires.

I bought these 17 months ago. After 8000 miles, I was below 50% on the front tires, about 75% on the back. The treadwear on the front tires was insanely fast! (No alignment or other issues on this vehicle.) At 10,000, the treadwear has slowed down, but there is no way these will come close to making 60K. I don't put a lot of miles on the car, and I don't drive crazy in this vehicle. I use it mostly for in town commuting, long highway trips with family and dogs, and on dirt roads in the Sierra Nevada near my home. Dry traction is excellent. It feels like the CR-V is glued to the road. Definitely a LOT more rolling resistance than the Sumitomo LS-Ts that came with it.

Here's the thing: these Yokohamas are next to useless on dirt/gravel roads. The slippage and skidding even at moderate speeds are frightening. The cheap Sumitomo touring tires had MUCH better dirt road/off road performance than these. I am hugely disappointed. It is dangerous to drive this thing at any speed on loose dirt/gravel, and that's most of the roads around me. I bought the Yokohamas to get the snow tire rating so I could get over the mountains without chains during chain controls. Ice traction is superb. Snow traction is good (but no better than the Sumitomos), dry traction is excellent, but for loose dirt/gravel, these are almost deathtraps.

When these wear out (which won't be long), I will just buy a set of Blizzaks for winter, and put the Sumitomos back on for summer. I had huge hopes for these, and read great reviews, but these are a massive disappointment. Truly a sub-par tire, and greatly overpriced for what I got from them. Avoid if you ever drive off pavement.

I chose the Geolandar based on it offering good ratings for wear, and wet traction at a reasonable price. I was not disappointed. I drive mostly highway, with some towing, and occasionally some challenging off road trails. This tire met my needs very well. It is not too aggressive, so it has good road manners, but works surprisingly well of road.

I impressed other drivers and their MT tires, when I was able to follow them with what they called "basically street tires." While they don't look as aggressive as a KO2, they do look better than a highway tire. While I run a dedicated winter tire in the winter, I did have these in the snow and slush a few times during early season snow events, and they gripped well, and gave me confidence. Rain or dry, traction was always excellent and predictable. If you are used to AT tires, you will not notice any noise, though if you have the windows down in the city, you can hear them a little more than a highway tire.

Overall, I highly recommend these tires, and would recommend them for anybody who does mostly on road driving, but needs off road and snow traction as well.

This is the first set of all terrain type tires I have ever bought. I did extensive research based off of Tirerack results and customer reviews and found this to be a balanced and under appreciated performer of the On-Road All Terrain category. Based off the testing category’s that Tirerack has this tire was always towards the top of the test results at the time I purchased these tires. The best way to describe these tires is capable and predictable. Traction in snow, wet, mud, dirt, and the dry is great. Comfort and noise levels are commendable. But one area I found these tires lacking was road feel and there was a bit of excessive moment over medium to large impacts. Other than that I think these are great tires and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for an all terrain tire with an on road performance focus.

Only have 3000 miles on mainly dry roads. The comfort and ride are excellent; the noise level is less than the Firestones that were on the vehicle when we bought it. So far, we are very pleased with these tires.

One year and 9,000 miles with no problems through Rochester, NY winters and occasional off-road (fields) driving. I use them year-round. Handling is excellent on and off road. My biggest concern in buying was noise, but that turned out to be a non-issue. The ride is smooth. I am very pleased.

These have turned out to be great tires. While they do carry the severe winter service rating I don't think they're quite as good as the Blizzak DM-V2's on my wife's Outback but they are pretty darn good in the snow. They can be a little squirmy on grooved roadways but they're quiet and have a comfortable ride. Even though they're fairly heavy my fuel didn't take too much of a hit. I originally purchased these as an all year tire so that I didn't have to swap winters/three-season tires on and off. But I found that trying to rotate tires in my driveway with only four tires is a real pain so I broke down and purchased a set of Grand Touring tire and alloy wheels to swap back and forth each spring/fall. But I'm still very pleased with these Yoko's and recommend them.

I've had this tire run in the snow and it performed awesome. There wasn't a whole lot of tread left on the tires I had, but I was able to make it in a snow storm where if you weren't already on the roads they were closed. I live in Colorado so we see lots of snow. I also take my Jeep off roading as well. This tire performs very well and also performs great on the city streets. I would highly recommend this tire to anyone.

Absolutely fantastic snow traction. Can usually leave my truck in 2WD even in deep snow. The tires do wear fairly quickly and with that comes more road noise. I will easily give up those qualities for the snow traction. This is my second set and when they go, I will buy another set.

2nd set, 60,000 miles on the first set, evenly worn, couldn’t ask for more.
This set installed at the beginning of a Wisconsin winter, handles the slippery roads like a champ, I rarely engaged the 4wd system. They pulled me through some soft, deeper snow, I just couldn’t ask for better.

I purchased these tires from a friend at at dealership 2 years ago and have since put roughly 25k miles on them. I still show them to people and they look nearly new! There is still 10/32" tread life left! I can't even believe that the esimated tread life was for 50k because I still have 75% tread left in half of that life. I highly recommend to all of my friends as to anyone else looking for a good on/off road tire.

In my opinion this tire does not fit the all terrain category. very weak sidewalls not valid on gravel mud, rock.
will only recommend for highway usage.
