Yokohama Geolandar M/T G003 - Beginning of Long Term Review!

[@jhonyboy0la]

Have them for 5000 miles and theh are still in amazing shape, definitely buy them again, yokoa are awesone

[@Wayfinder_JT]

Love mine, amazing off-road and perform very well on the pavement.

[@RoyFJ65]

They are truly master of all trade tires, never had so much satisfaction from any other tire I have used so far, was wary about it being an MT as a daily driver but this one surpassed it all.

[@jamesnm21]

What all have you run? Let us know so we can benefit from your feedback. Thanks.

[@RoyFJ65]

I moved to a tropical country from NY so I have to face mudslides, rocks as well as corrugated roads regularly and so far, this tire has not let me down. Best of all it handles predictably under heavy rains on hills.

[@jamesnm21]

@@RoyFJ65 thanks for the feedback. I was wondering what other brands you'd run.

@@RoyFJ65 how does it compare to the ridge grapplers on road? I know it’s definitely better off road..

I've had mine on for 2.5 yrs and love them..I am purchasing my 2nd set..Going with 35s next.

What kind of mileage did you get out of them?

How they perform in clay and deep mud if you tried?

[@leondrolet8695]

Looking forward to the on-road and off-road review. I miss your Gladiator, though! Keep the videos coming.

[@4-LOW]

You never know, there may be another Gladiator build. I'm waiting to see the 2022 order guide when it hits next month. Thanks for watching.

[@4WDisLife]

What size did you get? 315/70r17 or 35x12.5x17?

[@PlayWaves1]

That thing looks mean.

[@chrisbeerad8835]

how are they offroad when they have some wear on them ? Would you buy them again ? if not what would you buy and why ? thanks

[@gen1c8rs88]

A 9 inch wheel is 10 inches wide. A 12.50 inch wide tire has 10 to 10.50 inch wide tread width. The 295 is 12 inches wide on a 8.5 inch wide wheel or 12.2 on a 9 inch wide wheel and reduces the diameter from 34.4 to 34.3 inches. The 35x12.50 is 12.9 inches wide on a 10 inch wide wheel or 12.5 on a 9 inch wheel and increases the diameter to 34.8 inches. A 295 on a 8.5 (9.6 inch tread width) and a 12.50 on a 9(10.2 inch tread width) is what's nessasary for optimal pavement wear but a 295 on a 9 inch wide wheel is fine, except for off road wheel damage and tire popping off the bead below 15 psi(for this wieght of vehicle). But a 6 lbs differance might = better mpg's and the .6 inch narrower tread width might be better for ice. Personally for a all year around, multipurpose 35 inch tire size I would pick a 285/75r18(the G003 is available in this size but would require a different set of 5 wheels) on a 18x8 or 18x7.5. The listed tire dimentions are determined by inflating the tire to it's maximum rated psi, letting the tire rest for 3 days, then measuring the diameter, laying the tire down on it's side(with out the weight of the vehicle or wieght of the tire on the tire). The tire difference will be approximatly .5 inches in height and .3 inches in width. All in good spirit, just some things to ponder.🤔😁👍

[@markrine]

I’m not concerned about wear and noise. I’m primarily concerned by the comments that I’ve seen about wet asphalt and wet snow/ice performance. Any review on those elements?

[@david300m]

How do you like the Icon wheels?

[@anthonyt4981]

how does this tire hold up to snow?

[@andrewanderson1436]

I've had geolander mts on a 1500 Chevy and they were directal like chevrons and they did well in the mud and wasn't too loud on the hwy.

[@russgould707]

I have some of those too. I siped the tread on them and they do really good in the rain also.

[@ddwolfe2494]

35x11.50r20 Yokohama geolander g003 came with the ram 1500 truck I bought

[@ronhuggins696]

Very Informative thanks

[@steveholt3089]

wide mud tires i've always thought to be silly. skinny mud tires are where its at..the narrow the tire the less shit the tires have to move to the side to get moving. "wide tires dont "make you float",deflated tires do.. wide tires just impart less weight downward hence decreasing your traction.. deflating tires down to 15psi turn your round wheel into a mini track i have a 2wd ram 1500 with pizza cutters(235/80/17) duratracs and a limited slip diff..that thing just loves the mud and slick stuff.it has 400lb right over the rear axle in the bed and even in snow drives great.. I guess it has an easier time cutting down the snow and "finding" the road

[@dalestephens5176]

Wider = more air = more float.

[@Linguaholic23]

Dale , you clearly are not an seasoned Offroader... The Thinner and taller the tire the better traction it has offroading. You dont need Wider tires but "longer" tires. Longer by Deflation, and for propper deflation you need a tall-ish tire to have plenty of touch with the ground in the length.

[@Jtwizzle]

Interesting take on the subject. Looking at 255 85 16 for a tacoma instead of the 285 75 16. Less or no rubbing with the skinny tire.

[@jamesnm21]

Depends. On hard pack snow you're not going to find the pavement anyway so a wider tire gives you more contact with the snowpack. I went to a 265 from a 235 on my plow truck in the rear and never noticed much difference really no matter what the conditions were. I still have 235s on the front but will eventually put 265s on.

[@ozbruiser1468]

How long before you have them mounted up for first drive?

[@freidrichnietzsche6643]

Great video & review. How do these ride on the road? I'm looking at 35x12.5x17 in either these or BFG KM3, BFG KO2's (in C rating), the Toyo open country MT's... on a '16 GM 1500

[@4-LOW]

Honestly they are super smooth and ride amazing for a M/T. They do make noise like any other mud tire, but they ride better than any I've had before.

[@jamesnm21]

What did you go with? Thanks.

[@freidrichnietzsche6643]

@@jamesnm21 a little buyers regret here but went with the bfg KO2’s. They were about $550 cheaper than the Yoko’s (can’t find the KM3’s anywhere) and I’m putting the $550 into a winch and dual battery setup. When I arrived at the shop, they had a fresh set of the yokos in the size I need, mounted on a jeep and I do have to say, they are an amazing aggressive looking tire! Still hard to go wrong with the KO2’s for an AT.

[@jamesnm21]

@@freidrichnietzsche6643 sounds like a good deal. Never hurts to have a winch. Offroad recovery gets expensive fast!

[@freidrichnietzsche6643]

@@jamesnm21 BFG KO2's in 305x70x17's, E rating (and adding a winch). Hard to go wrong with this tire. I did see the Geolanders in person and they may be the best looking MT out there right now.

Any updates on how these are wearing? Tread life expectations?

[@mikehowell8983]

these tires come with a 45000 mile warranty

[@jc7654]

it's going to be interesting to see what you think when you have them on , your oldman is going to get a lot of life out of those x-at's as they still look new, have you thought of doing a chork test on them to check your inflation pressure might be interesting because of their thicker sidewalls and carcus , I see Mickey Thompson have released a new hybrid tyre looks very similar to the Yokohama x-at (baja boss a/t) based off the mud tyre it looks good as well. be interested to see how it goes after its been out for a couple of mouths

[@DarrenBoxhall]

Is this a review of just how the tyre looks?

[@hunterjohnson4954]

Can anyone compare the Geolander MT G003 to the BFG KM3 MT?

[@dalestephens5176]

Having seen how BFG now tests sidewalls, I'm sure that even if others do as well, none could be any better. Thing is, how would you know if others do as well?
