[@RocketScientist]

Please subscribe to my channel! I have two more updates on these tires! Thanks for watching!

same music towards the end as Ronnie Dahl. Super dope

[@michaelsvardh5682]

I have a 2004 Chevy Silverado 2500hd and bought a set of Yokohama Geolander Tires (LT285/75R16 A/T-S) in June of 2009 and currently have almost 70,000 miles on them in June of 2021. They have been flawless for 12 years ! They have taken me everywhere on and off road, I have never been stuck in Pacific Northwest mountains and desert in mud, sand. snow and ice. These have been the best tires I've ever owned (I'm 58 and have had pick-up trucks since I was 16). I will be purchasing the GO15's this month.

[@RocketScientist]

OK everyone! I finally hit 1,000 miles! I'm working on an update video. Weather and time are not cooperating, so please be patient, it's coming!

[@gutteherr]

I'm looking forward to it! I just purchased a set of G015's because of your video.

[@umsic86]

I bought these after watching this review. Tire are so difficult to research. Subjectively I like them so far. They are much quieter than I expected, handle well in the rain. Im excited to see how they handle snow.

[@RocketScientist]

My full 1,000 mile review is up! Check it out on my channel page!

[@minguyen-rl7sn]

These does well off road. The thread says it will not do well in mud, but the traction is surprisingly well in mud and snow. These tires are really awesome.

[@luisg1653]

2003 Tundra, I got a bit over 70k miles on the older ATS tires. Did a lot of off road abuse too, never really a problem. Just bought the GO15's for my wife's Honda Element, hoping for the same quality. Thanks for posting.

[@bcatz454]

Agreed the Yoko AT-S are a awesome tire. They were super cheap when I bought them too 6 years ago @ $125/tire for 33 inch E rated tires. Drove them from New York City, to Seattle, and down to Mexico City. Flawless.

[@jackknight6330]

These Yokohama Go15 are awesome tires and I should know that because I have them on my 2012 Ford F-150. They are still handling fantastic like new. Currently they have 30,000 miles and I have no regrets!👊🏼😃🏅🏅🏅🏅

[@RoyFJ65]

The best all rounders around period. They also do very well off road.

[@ethanshenk2058]

How about in mud?

[@RoyFJ65]

@@ethanshenk2058 moderate mud aired down surprisingly better than other ATs I have owned in past with far more aggressive looking patterns.

[@jasonsong86]

I just bought 5 for my FJ cruiser. Stock tires lasted 50k miles.

[@bigg1469]

I got 4pcs today...im happy and satisfied with my new g015

[@WebReels]

Well done, good overview of the tire especially for the all important road noise. All the reviews I have read on the GO15 is that it is very quiet and smooth riding tire on the highway and based on your video, that seems to be true.

[@joelewan7964]

My old ats are half gone at 25k miles. I plan on staying with yokohama with their new g015 as long as they stay price competitive.

[@RocketScientist]

Not bad! Check out my updates.. Things got a little interesting on the most recent one.

[@SERGUMUM]

I ordered 4 for my 1999 Rav4. The dealer recommended them over other options. He say that they were a good all around tyre for the use I do. Dirt roads, agricultural land and roads.

[@joegonzalez5602]

keep us posted I'm thinking of buying them for my Tacoma.

[@RocketScientist]

I plan on doing exactly that around the 1k mark and further. Thanks for watching!

[@user-zx8jv6wj1c]

Did you buy them, Joe? How do you like them? What about in the rain?

[@MoveWildwithMe]

Just got a set for my 01' Crv Rd1, will be mainly using for light soft road/gravel and snow, cannot wait >:)

[@SonidoIntimidador01]

What size did you end up going with?

[@MoveWildwithMe]

@@SonidoIntimidador01 225/70/15x7 Cherokee rims fully raised on coilovers, no lift kit/spacers w/ no rubbing 🤙

[@SonidoIntimidador01]

Was thinking the same thing 225 70's Think it would rub on stock suspension 225 70 15?

[@MoveWildwithMe]

@@SonidoIntimidador01 should be good, the crv sits functionally high as is on stock suspension and I think the factory tire size is 205/70 so going wider in tire shouldnt rub with the stock 15x6, wouldnt be bad though to add one inch spacer in rear to level it and help with sag

[@MoveWildwithMe]

@@SonidoIntimidador01 although if you're using stock rims 15x6 I think ideal width of tire would be 215, the tire might look flat if you went with 225 wide on 6"width rim, that's my input

[@noahcolburn9342]

I took how your G012’s lasted and performed under consideration and bought the G015’s. I’ve only had 1 other tire to compare it to on my 1998 f150 regular cab flareside 4x4 the Goodyear Rt/s and I love the Yokohama’s. I kinda wish I would have gotten a more aggressive tire but I do love these Yokohama’s. I was able to clear a 33” with no rub. I was looking at the kumho mt51 but I thought the yokos would last longer so that’s why I got them.

[@bebeslife4519]

Was the size you got 285/70?

[@Clint_the_Audio-Photo_Guy]

I saw a guys review who said he got 120,000 miles out of a set, mostly highway I think. Crazy. He bought another set too. This 265/70R17 size looks just about beefy enough. Might put a set on my Silverado Overland project. 285/75R17's will fit and look really nice, but they're another almost 10 lbs a tire and probably sacrifice MPG. Hmm.

[@RocketScientist]

Eh... I wouldn't lose sleep over 40lbs. A full tank of gas weighs about 3-4 times that.

[@Clint_the_Audio-Photo_Guy]

@@RocketScientist Well the tires on it now are only 32lbs. The larger Geolanders are 60lbs. That's 28lbs per tire of rotational unsprung weight, plus the spare, so 140lbs. I'm thinking more handling, acceleration/braking and road feel effects. Heavier tire, plus a larger tire is going to effectively gear up my truck.

[@rotorspin6127]

Just getting a full set fitted tomorrow after watching this, cheers :)

[@RocketScientist]

rotorspin NICE! I'm sure you'll like them! I did 2 other updates since this one if you're interested.

[@rotorspin6127]

Had them fitted and we're suddenly snowbound ! So it was just in the nick of time. I took the Freelander out today and it didn't put a foot wrong, the tyres do exactly what they should, even over patches of ice and slippery compacted snow they never gave me any cause for concern. Yes, I like them !!! Thank you.

[@LorddOfChaoss]

I have the new Geolander ATs on my F250 7.3L diesel truck, bad ass tires

[@Astor4o]

Ordered 4 of these for the GX. Arriving next week, can't wait! :D

[@mujjuman]

love your reviews of these

[@pewymcpewerson1395]

I put 60k on my AT-S's and have nothing but good things to say about them. That's why on Friday I'm getting the AT's put on. The AT's are severe snow rated with the snowflake symbol on the sidewall which is great because I'm 99 miles from the Canadian boarder and I heard it's gonna be a snowy one.

[@specialized29er86]

06.07.20 - Got a full set for 2 of our vehicles.

[@John_Smith19]

Hi, great video, I also drived on the G012 5 seasons, it's great tires! Now I want to buy G015, say me, on the new rubber, as on the old one, the inscription of Yokohama Geolandar is painted on one side with white paint?

[@RocketScientist]

John Smith Yes they have white letters on one side, which can be reversed. Thanks!

[@John_Smith19]

Thank you !

[@jamieclarke5695]

Ive brought mine 2 years ago ive done 70000ks and still going well the front ones havent even got to the mark yet and back are bold from skids haha. But ive never rotated nothing stayed the same. great tyre will always use

[@trickyynicky]

Nice review, are these the metric or LT tires and what size?

[@mcfobossan]

Hi, I know you had great time with go12. I want it to buy go15 but they dont have it, only go12 so what do you recomend... wait for go15, take go12 or take something with newer technology? Thanks in advance

[@RocketScientist]

mcfobossan honestly I would have bought the g012's again if they had them. Still happy with what I got though.

[@mcfobossan]

Thanks you ease my mind I was worried a bit after reading some comments on go12

[@briantheramman6442]

Nice review. Thinking about getting a set for my 2018 Ram Limited. Have you noticed a difference in fuel economy or no?

[@RocketScientist]

Eh, a little better with higher pressure and less of my lead foot.

[@frappeboynyc7247]

Thank you for video.I have only 2 questions .First question is if I may ask how much did u pay for the 4 tires?The second question is what is the difference between GEOLANDER A T AND ATS IS? Thank you.

[@RocketScientist]

Pricing varies per area, here in NW Indiana I paid around $850 give or take for the set. Difference between these and G012's is tread pattern and rubber compounds, probably some other secret stuff. The G015 is basically the newer version of the discontinued G012.

[@mercedesbenzs600bash]

Any more updates on the Yokohama Geolandar AT G015???

[@RocketScientist]

Other than my last update vid, no.. I think I just got a wierd set and/or the tire shop is terrible at balancing tires. I have more mileage now on the 2nd set.. still good to go!

[@mercedesbenzs600bash]

@@RocketScientist Good to hear,I'll be getting a set soon...

[@ninjashidan]

I'll get these for my jimny. I like em

[@RocketScientist]

Had a '93 Jimmy... Miss that truck. If it's stock suspension, 30 x 9.5 15's fit nicely.

[@ninjashidan]

@@RocketScientist I've got a 2012. It's stock but i will lift it. I'm going with 205/70/15. I'm not sure if that translates to your size.

[@gogutzy]

testing the tires for handling right after you bought them shouldn't be a great idea, i thought they have a protective layer for the time being stored... correct me if i'm wrong...

[@RocketScientist]

V.C. If you mean that water-soluble blue stuff they spray on white letters, no that's not on the whole tire. Even if it were on the tread, it would wear off in a mile or two.

[@surjerrylee]

Have you tried the BFG AT KO2? If so do you have any idea how they stack up in rain or snow?

[@RocketScientist]

Jerry Lee Nope haven't tried the KO2. No reason to really, I am more than satisfied with the Geolandars

[@omarhouri5435]

Hi. At/s go12 or go15 are better? Which one is better specially on road? And what about the noise which one is smoother on road? And you used them for 6 years, the noise increase during this period? I highly appreciate your feedback

[@RocketScientist]

Noise and performance is close to the same.. I didn't really pay much attention to the noise levels on the G012, mainly because after driving on them so long, I got used to it. G015 is basically a newer version of the same thing. Both are very good tires. G015 seems a bit better.

[@omarhouri5435]

@@RocketScientist thank you. So the noise is acceptable on both right?

[@RocketScientist]

@@omarhouri5435 To me, yeah.. might bother some people but its not terrible.

Hi Great video . Have a question what depth tread ?

Started out at 18/32. I made a couple updates too, here's the next one. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gKeyaZytgJp8eas

[@chequesmar8970]

How do they go until 2022?

[@TheBeerBox80]

How are these in the rain? I have Yokohama Avid TR-Zs on my corolla and they are terrible in the rain.

[@RocketScientist]

Tim Johnson great in rain. not sure I'd put em on a Corolla.. lol. I also have a Honda with Kumho Exsta 4X KU22's that are pretty good.

[@nolablurunner]

Would you say these are less "beefy" or "aggressive" than the BFG AT KO? I have some BFG's currently and im looking for some new all Terrain's that are slightly less aggressive and have excellent wet traction. I like the BFG's but I def noticed a loss on MPG's and handling due to heavy tread blocks and size of course. A reply would be greatly appreciated. Great review BTW.

[@RocketScientist]

nolablurunner Well, looking at the BFG KO2, Yok G015 has 3/32 more tread depth and completely different tread design, so I guess "beefiness" is in the eye of the beholder. If MPG is what you're after, I track mine and it got slightly better but not enough to make a huge difference. See my 1,000 mile review for more! Thanks for your kind words!

[@alvaropintozeidan8315]

Hello, do you think 015 y better than The last version (012).?

[@RocketScientist]

About the same as far as I can tell. The only reason I got the G015's is that Yokohama discontinued the G012.

[@user-zx8jv6wj1c]

How do you like them in the rain? Are they good on the highway and in shallow water near the curb when driving in rain?

[@RocketScientist]

C videos excellent on all counts! See my full review vid for more!

[@ps3boss98]

Are theses tires loud at all?

[@RocketScientist]

Eugene Krabs they have a bit of sound, but it's nothing obnoxious.

[@ps3boss98]

Rocket Scientist Thanks!

[@tylerfranks1874]

Are these the P rated or LT tires?

[@RocketScientist]

Tyler Franks I probably should have said that.. good call. LT265/75-16.

[@tylerfranks1874]

Thanks for the quick reply! I thought they were the LT with the tread depth and all, just wanted to make sure.

[@aleksandrfedorov3480]

Put such tires on Mitsubishi Pajero. Satisfied!

[@Aceinfinity-le8zc]

Any mpg loss ?

[@RocketScientist]

It stayed about the same as far as I can tell. I kinda have a lead foot, so whatever I may have gained in MPG I spent right back in "spirited driving" habits.
