20,000 Mile Tire Review- Yokohama Geolandar M/T

[@TheXOoftheRO]

I have seen many tire reviews in the past few years. You might have just done the best tire review I've ever seen. And I think you have changed my mind. I think instead of Mickey Thompson MTZs I will go with these Goes for my Ramius.

[@TheXOoftheRO]

oh.. and it looks like you got boggers in the blue wrap.

[@JKGearandGadgets]

Thank you for the compliments! And nope not boggers, but they do kinda resemble them!

Nope! I’ll have a video out soon!

Ben! I got a pair of geolanders in 35’s because of you. Had them on for about 1k miles already. Absolutely love them. Only one wheeling trip so far. Out preformed my old KO2’s! Thanks for doing what you do. Keep it up!

[@cdnbroncolife1889]

Well!! Let me give anyone looking into the geolander MT g003 I have run a few different mud terrains along the way as I work in the oil & gas industry in northern Alberta Canada. I always swore by the toyo MT 35” x12.5 x R20. And still do! But I thought I’d try something different. I run a Ford F-350 with a 4.5” SL and I just put on a new set of the Yokohama geolander G003 MT on. They spin true , balance out great , start out relatively the same noise levels as it’s competitors but after about 6000miles,.. literally they turn it up a few more decibels and start to sound like a small plane on the tarmac ... sincerely guys , be prepared that these are not quieter than their competition at all. They are also a little squirrely under the truck I feel as the measure just a little narrower than other 12.50 wide tires. So just a little getting used to that’s all. Great looking tire, slightly lighter in weight than it’s competitors which can be felt in rotational mass. Let’s be real though , noisy and expensive ... when I post a video I’ll come back and shoot the link ok 👌🏻 Thanks everyone .. it’s -35Celcius this upcoming week so not much for Shooting a video lol ... I just rotated once last week at 7500km/4660 miles I’ll update with actual size of the tire mounted on the truck. I’ve run duratracs , TOYO open country mud terrains and BFG all terrains.

[@efren3723]

Chose these last year for my 2012 f150 over Miley Thompson and Toyos. And I loved them and the tread design. Getting these again on my new ram this month

[@cayman9873]

Great review i just ordered 4 for my sequoia in a 33 inch size... jan 2022.. cant wait to try them in snow and off road

[@midnight873]

Bought a set of 4 when they came out and after 5 years of use in the ugly weather of oklahoma they look brand new

[@myytchannel6632]

I have watched this video like 6 times now and like this review. Your video helped me make the decision to order this Yokohama Geolandar G003 in 35s for my Infiniti QX80. I do not offroad as much, but I do some hardcore offroad atleast 2 times each year and I always make sure my car can handle it. I got 285x55R22, which are 35s. I look forward to taking it to Ouray some time this year.

[@RoyFJ65]

I have had BFG KO2 and Nitto Terra Grappler, even the P rated Geolandar GO15 do better off road and in mud than both of them and the E rated ones give you extra cut resistance. I have also used Nitto Trail Grappler that are noisy and do very poor on road and in rain. The MT G003 are shades better than any other in its class of MT tires but best part, its the most livable tire on road being that for many of us, tarmac forms majority of our driving. Thanks for the review, looking forward to your X-AT and X-MT review. I know few in the Jeep world have had superb results with G004 and X-MT.

[@krashnpa]

Definitely glad I'm picking these up after watching this! Thanks!

[@DonSancho15]

Having read the comments here, it is very positive and I wish I could understand and follow the review due to hearing loss. Perhaps I can try finding other videos with same brand/model and hope for a great review as I'm going to have those installed on my truck Wednesday afternoon.

[@JKGearandGadgets]

You will like the tires! Did the CC option on KZbin work? Sometimes it will add subtitles

[@nemesis851_]

[@eduardosanchez7827]

Hi, I just installed the new Yokohamas G003 a few days ago replacing the old MT+. I wouldn't say the new ones are bad, actually they the most silent tires I've got but the new model are not better, if anything, they are worst. The old model had incredible grip, little noise, unbelievable wet grip and a very good off-road performance (except on slippery rocks). Maybe the new model will last more and that's the only improvement over the old model. Just my two cents for everyone looking for the Yokos, try to find the old model if you are looking for better traction, or the new one if you want a longer tread life. BTW, great video!

[@JKGearandGadgets]

Thank you! And as for snow, it only snowed here twice. Seemed to do well for a mud tire, but of course they aren’t the best in snow because of that.

[@JKGearandGadgets]

And I’ll add that it was a little icy as well.

[@LostSasquatch]

cool, I think these will still do better in snow/ice than the KM3? I live up in the tahoe are so im trying to find a best of both worlds tire. Thanks for the info

Not really sure honestly, but the g003 have more siping than the km3s so I’m betting that helps more.

Debating between these and the Mickey Thompson Baja boss and possibly the km3 39x13.5r17 (I know they run small) The reason I like these are because of the weight 40x13.5r17- 87 Lbs/ 390$ (discount tire) Mickey Thompson Baja boss same size 92 lbs $440 (Mickey Thompson website) 39x13.5r17 km3- 87 Lbs $435 (discount tire) I get rolling mass adds more stress etc, I keep going back and forth, what’s your personal opinion?

I would make that tire with the sidewall damage a spare or at least put it on the rear. It would suck to have a sidewall blowout while going down the highway and lose control of your Jeep.

The camera makes it look a lot worse than it is. But yes you are correct! Running it in the front isn’t a good idea. Haven’t gotten around to swapping it

[@southernstar_offroad]

TyandAubreysMom that's correct that tire shouldn't be on the road if you can see any of the nylon cords that make up the tire. That cut definitely looks deep enough

[@JKGearandGadgets]

It all depends what size tire you plan on running. For 37s I’d reccomend 3.5” and flat fenders. For 40s go with 4.5”. The lower the lift the better! And I would highly suggest the Metalcloak or Rock Krawler!

[@Se7vinDeadlySins]
