Yokohama  Geolandar A/T G015

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.

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.

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.

I bought these tires almost 60k ago. I have taken them cross country, on road, off road, boat ramps, deep Wisconsin snow, rutted forest roads, sand and dirt, and about 30k/year of just general running around. The first thing I noticed with these was the nice aggressive looking tread pattern. Much more off-road oriented than the Continentals that came with my Outback. This was what I was going for, and I wanted better protection from rocks when off-roading. They are much heavier than the stock tires, so with my 4 cylinder engine, I noticed a marked drop in acceleration, and my average MPG went from 27.3 to 25.5. There is noticeable tire noise when going down any road.

They have handled anything I needed; and after all of these miles, and throwing them through roundabouts (6-12 times daily) a bit faster than I should they have worn very evenly and still have 4/32nds of tread left. They still look like they could go through another winter, but they are also down to the wear bars. It's kind of nice they don't want you to go completely bald.

I would recommend these to anyone, but now that I realize I won't be off road as often as I had dreamed, I will be switching back to an all-season vs an all-terrain tire to get back my precious MPGs, quiet ride, and a bit more giddy-up-and-go.

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.

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 replaced the OEM Michelin Primacy MXV4's at about 35,000 miles due to issues with wet traction and increasing road noise. I am a tire fanatic and keep pressure monitored and tires rotated/maintained religiously. The Primacys were an ok tire, but I think were really not designed for a heavy SUV like a Pilot. Also, I have ALWAYS been a "Michelin Man", but my experience with the OEM tires had me curious about other options.
I decided to go with the Geolandar A/T G015 based on reviews and the more aggressive appearance. About 5,000 miles in, I am not disappointed. The tire looks great on the Pilot, are deceptively quiet (surprisingly quieter than the OEM tires), and have dramatically improved how the car handles and brakes, both on wet and dry roads. The tires really seem to have transformed how the Pilot drives. Have seen about a -.5 MPG on long road trips so far, not too bad for a tire that weighs in 5 lbs. heavier than the OEMs. Haven't experienced snow or ice yet (no guarantees I will since I live in AR), but will report back about at 10,000 miles after we get through winter with another update.

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 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.

This is probably the best overall tire I have ever run on a Tacoma. I have owned two Tacoma's and have used both street tread and All-terrain tires. The Yokohama A/T is the best of both worlds - more aggressive tread but with great highway manners. The major downside to A/T tires is that they hydroplane easily; the Nitto G2's and BF's were probably the two worst for this that I have personally used (although they are both great tires). The absolute gold standard tire (that I have used) is the Michelin M/S LTX; it did great in heavy rain, snow, ice, long tread life, and were super quiet on the highway. If you'll notice in the picture, the Yokohama A/T has four rain channels, like the Michelin, but with far more aggressive A/T tread blocks and sidewall. Having four rain channels is very rare for an A/T tire. This Yokohama is the only A/T that I have every bit of confidence in when driving in heavy rain as I did with the Michelin's. The Yoko's also do great in snow and ice, never had an issue. I have 55,000 on them, and there is still some tread left, but with winter approaching, I don't want to risk wrecking my truck just to squeeze some more mileage out of them. I usually change tire brands with each new purchase just to try something different, but this time I'll be replacing these with a new set of Yokohama A/T's. (275/65R18 SL)

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.
