Nitto Trail Grappler vs Yokohama Geolandar

[@hunterjohnson4954]

Yoko Geolandar is the best MT on the market today. Quiet on the road, beast offroad. Even better than BFG KM3 in my opinion.

[@Robstunner]

I have the geolandars 003..... they're not much quieter than my old coopers.

[@RockLander818]

I love my set. I wish I can hear a new set of KM3s. I actually think the KM3s may edge this one out on road noise.

[@DonkeyKick97]

Almost a year and 12,000 miles on my G003s, 215/75r15 C on a LWB Sidekick. They're not quiet, and they scared the heck out of me when I got caught in freezing mist on paved mountain roads. I don't care though, because they've been incredibly durable while tracking straight, and in most scenarios where I lose a little traction the tread almost acts like a lug-based ABS, "stuttering" the vehicle through turns perfectly to make it look like I did it on purpose, and with style. They turned my Sidekick into a rally trucklet, and handle the rain just fine. They're lightweight, less than 5 lbs. extra per corner than the garbage OEM sized street tires I bought it with. They resist punctures surprisingly well, and hardly pick up any gravel at all, especially compared to my old Cooper AT3 4S I had on a previous truck. I won't be bothering with other M/Ts or A/Ts for a while, these are just too impressive.

[@lanejohnson2458]

I recently put my second set of the Yokohama MT G003 on my F-150. The road noise is minimal for a mud tire. I got 67,000 miles out of the first set that I put on my truck, and probably could have gotten another 6,000 out of them.

[@lanejohnson2458]

I have the Yokohama's on my 2017 JKU , in 35/12.5/17 size. The tires have 35k miles on them and have 12/32 tread depth left. They have been a great tire for me, no complaints. I will be replacing them with the same tire only in a 37/12.5/17. I'm sure the new tires will perform just as well as my older ones did. I live in Michigan so I see mud, rocks , sand, snow, and pavement ,these tires were great , all year round.

Will the geolander do well in MN winter?

[@alexanderadcock4962]

Should talk about the weight of the tire and how that impacts your vehicle.

[@MrJoshItIs]

In my area, the Trail Grapplers and Cooper STT Pro are the most recommended for off-roaders. I unfortunately did the the Mud Grapplers by Nitto, and they don't work that well in our area. I think it typically boils down to the terrain you are normally hitting. It varies a lot across regions.

[@V8AmericanMuscleCar]

I agree. When I look at some mud tests, I sometimes say to myself, that's not mud. In my area I need really aggressive tires for mud.

[@danold6443]

I love that the Yoko footage was from 4wd24-7 here in Australia 😁

[@cannonslawson8004]

I have a set of 35x12.5x17 Yokos on my JLU. I really like them so far. Super quiet on the road, great in dirt and mud. Haven’t spent a lot of time on rocks yet. They were also $40 cheaper than nittos for me.

[@jad21964]

I have the Geolanders on my Jeep JKU and they are great! The Jeep came with the crappy bfg mud terrains that were terrible in everything but mud. The Geolanders on the other hand are amazing in snow, mud, sand, rocks, and wet pavement. At the time (May 2019) they were cheaper than the Nitto for a 35x12.5x17 E rated tire.

[@marcusproctor90]

Thank you for that. I’ve been trying to figure out what mts will do well in sand and snow also. I have falken wildpeaks at3ws which are awesome in those conditions as well as wet and dry pavement but I want something that can also grab rocks and tread thru mud a bit better.

[@chris74ify]

How are they as a week end warriors tire..daily driver...

[@gunsup0331]

i have the Yoks on my truck and they are deceptively quiet on road but grip BIG in mud and terrain. In places where i used to use 4x4 i just trust the Yoks to get me out. fantastic tire. My sister runs the BFGs on her Tundra and theyre great, but louder on road and questionable in the mud compared to the Yoks. the sidewall tread works great as well. these are super good tires for everything except maybe rock crawler scenarios. they are noticeably less grippy on dry pavement, but thats not what i got them for

[@rbrjr2462]

Just got 5 Yokos for my 2 door Bronco FE, can't wait to try them out!

[@bvrgrn1038]

I have a set of the Yokohama MT G003’s on an M1008 (315/75/16). They handled winter ‘21 on the icy Lake Winnebago phenomenally at 22psi. Smooth as can be at 50-65 mph. It handles the WI forest roads just fine, acceptable in the wet. Perfect manners with a loaded bed and towing a utility trailer with two enduros and gear. They’ve been on 10 plus months with the rear Detroit locker and no abnormal wear. I really need 8” wide rims though. I stopped by the shop once to learn what a duplex mag lug nut was. Thanks for the help! Cool channel

Fellow Wisconsinite! Thanks for the feedback!

[@franz7671]

I got the Yokohama Geolandar mt g003.. .quiet great traction on snow and mud..the determining factor why I bought them instead of the nitto is the sidewall tread lugs looks awesome on 2020 3rd gen tacoma!

Have you driven on packed snow with them? If so, how are they in those conditions? I really want them for my GX470, but I live in central NY state. Thanks

[@cannonslawson8004]

I guess my concern is that, are the Geolandars G015 that came with Forester Wilderness the same quality Geolandars G015 you buy aftermarket...

[@RoyFJ65]

Had Trail Grapplers, good for off road in mud, ok on rocks but with some chunking. Its a nightmare on road with noise and not good in rain. MT G003 is just awesome in all be it on tarmac in rain and brilliant off road in any terrain from wet rocks to heavy sticky mud. Best of all they are way more comfortable over the Trail Grapplers and have superb wear characteristics. This is my experience with my FJ Cruiser. Also those who are using MT G003 are getting 40,000 miles life with proper inflation and rotation. Chalk test is a must.

[@garrettsmith8286]

Hey Roy I have Yokohama ATs on my 87 4runner & they're great (much better than the BFG ATs) but really want to install the MTs on my FJ as well. What size did you go with & what suspension setup do you have? My FJ is bone stock.

Everything has been great except they have no sipes so ice traction is lacking. They have worn evenly and the noise has been consistent over their life...I'd have to go with the new Yokos when the time comes.

About hydroplaning, thats true. A wider tire has to displace more water, but everywhere I read, Geolanders are said to be among the best in the wet.

[@modestdaddy2000]

Have had what I thought was the pinnacle of perfection, TOYO MT under my JKUR, and then I got the Yokohama MT and found them a little better in the rain on the road. The NITTO, from everyone I know that runs them is a great tire, but with light snow and sleet that we get around here all the time, they seem to not perform very well on the road during those times. My Yokohama do very well in that weather and better than any tire I’ve run off road in ice conditions. I have run many AT and lesser MT tires over the years. If I have to choose the best for tough off road while keeping a good family safe road worthy ability, it’s the Yokohama. Again, light snow, rain and ice is common around here in MD. I also highly recommend TOYO MT, as they are my second favorite tire for off road and even on road. I do think it’s great that many modern MT perform much better than they once did for on road driving. So, Whatever someone gets, we are often splitting hairs on which is “better”. I run 285/75/17 they are what we usually think of as a 34 x 11.5 No lift needed for my 2012 JKUR.

Yokohama is the best tire especially given their weight, longevity, and look. The 37x12.50R17 G003s are only 76lbs compared to 37x12.50 Nittos which are 85lbs. This 9lbs of weight difference means so much for the reliability of your suspension components.

Man, what a great KZbin site. Great information and knowledge being passed on! I prefer the look of the Nitto. It’s sidewal and tread just have a great aggressive look. That being said, the Geolander isn’t bad at all. I personally believe it’s time for Nitto to take a big risk and update the trailgrappler. I’d like to see additional siping focused on wet road and snow. That being said… I don’t want them to look much different than they do, again their a great iconic looking tire. As far as the Yoko’s…. I prefer a more Nitto looking tread edge and sidewall. Good news is… we have some really great options. I’d like to see the Atturo Trail Blade. Just not certain where it falls in comparison to the Yoko’s or Nittos.

I have done terrible things to them here in the dessert and they've never let me down. In 2-3+ ft deep snow I get farther than any of my friends do. Until the last few thousand miles they are super quiet. Rotate them so they spin the opposite direction every 5k and they'll last and wear well.
