yokohama geolandar m/t g003

Would love to hear from folks running these. I'm running nitto ridge grabbers an like them an can easily buy another set ,however I would really appreciate your input on the yokohama geolandar m/t g003. I'm liking the side walls on thoses..watch a lot of videos an seem impressive. But then are those folks getting $$ an free tires to review? Thanks

 

Mine

 

Great tires but very soft compound and will wear fast. If you need traction or live in a place with a lot of mud, it’s a great option. If you don’t, look to toyo MT as an alternative

 

I’ve been running them for 3 years both on and off-road. No real complaints, but a few observations. Directly comparing to the Toyo MT - off road grip is slightly less, not much but enough that I noticed at first. Sidewalls seem thin - had 2 flats so far out of 10 tires, both sidewall failures while aired down to 18-20 psi.. Tires get flat spots, annoying for a minute or two but no big deal. They balance great and ride/handle nice on highway.

 

Mine seem to be wearing well but I've only got 9,000 miles on them.
Have done well on dirt, gravel, mud, etc.
Definitely dug their way through a riverbed when i needed it.
Good on dry roads.
Wet roads are ok but typical i think for a M/T really.

However, thinking about selling my G003s and going to a A/T now that i am driving to office more rather than working near home. Not exploring offroad as much. For the miles i'm starting to rack up, i don't "need" M/T really.

 

Love mine. Good on dirt and snow

 

Had mine for 1 year and switched back to KO2s because the noise.
Other than the noise, it performed flawlessly.
