Re: Yokohama Geolander ATS tires?

I have been running Geolanders on my 4-runner for 3 years now. I should say that they are now due to be replaced! I may look at another tire depending on what comes close. Aside from cupping due to what turned out to be bad shocks (replaced with Rancho 9000's) and a tenancy to be a bit noisy, I would say they are a good tire... Just be aware that anything below 80% becomes a very ordinary tire! When mine were new I could go anywhere. Once they wore down they performed rather poorly.

Just my 2 bits.

Re: Yokohama Geolander ATS tires?

Thanks for the info, Turftech.

Most reviews of this tire are pretty good. The few negatives I've read state essentially what you've said: that when new the tires were great but once the mileage piled up, they became noisy and problematic.

I'm gonna give 'em a try. The price is right and I don't plan on keeping the old Nissan for too much longer anyway.

I'm really "jonesing" for a 1 to 2 year old Titan!

Re: Yokohama Geolander ATS tires?

Hmmm...and it really is spelled "GeoLandar" with an "a" instead of an "e"! I thought that was a typo on my down payment receipt!

Unfortunately, when I went in to get 'em today, Discount wouldn't give me both the BFG price ($20 off per tire) and my $100 gift certificate discount. I guess I understand that but it still sorta "stuck in my craw!"

Oh well.....

If you are not planning on keeping this truck for long, maybe consider a set of Dunlop A/T Radial Rover if they come in your size.

I use these tires on my '99 Jeep Cherokee, and on my '90 S10 Blazer before I traded it in. They also get great reviews.
