Just mounted some new Yokohama Geolander ATS

First impressions are they are night and day better then the Goodyear Wrangler ST tires the truck came with. Bought them 2 weeks ago or so now after one of the GoodYears failed while on vacation in 90+ degree heat on the highway real fun time putting the spare on with the girlfreind and dog staring at me the whole time.

I will say they drive nicer and make the truck look better. I went up to the Great North woods of New Hampshire this past weekend with a ATV in the bed of the truck and my boat behind it and the tires handled just fine. Even did some offroading on some of the Class 5 roads they have up north and these tires where great. Porbably would have had to use my 4 wheel drive if i still had the Wranglers. All and all I am pleased with the performance i have probably put 1,000 miles on them so far, there is a lilttle road noise but i expected it going to and AT tire.

I have the same tires. Even with rotations, the mileage they state are not even close to what you will get. When the tread starts to go down, rain traction goes out the window completely. Even dry traction suffers some but they are great initially.

Really? The reason i purchased them is my father has them on his Jeep and he got close to 70k out of his last set and said they where great. He acctually just bought another set for his Jeep.

I barely got 35,000 out of the Yoko's I had on my truck, they wore down quickly, despite rotating every 3000-5000 miles. Very disappointing as the Yoko's had worked great on my 1/2 tons.
