Yokohama Geolander MT G003 review

country_09 · June 6, 2017

Recently I was pm'd on another site about being a reviewer of a new set of tires that Yokohama was in the process of making. Of course I was excited and agreed to do a full on review. I've had multiple sets of mud tires myself and seen others from close friends/family. 33" toyo MT, 33" toyo AT and AT2s, 33" nitto trail grapplers, 35" nitto mud grapplers, 35" nitto trail grapplers, 37" toyo MT's, and have also rode in trucks with 33" federals, 33" Cooper zeon ltz, 33" Mickey Thompson mtz, 35" swampers, 33" Cooper discoverer STT pro's, 33" Hancook duratrac's, 33" atturo trail blades, 33" bfg AT, and probably more that I can't think of at this moment. First impression of the tires is that they're good lookin tires, do resemble toyo's a tad bit but have differences to set them apart. The tread depth seems to be a tad deeper than toyo, nitto, Mickey Thompson and the atturo trail blades. They weigh about 64-65lbs dependin on the scale I'm assumin, which is lighter than most 33" mud tires I've looked at by a couple pounds. They are 10 ply so hopefully they're pretty durable. I got them installed today and 2 of them balanced out very well, one took 1/2oz of weight while the other took 1oz of weight. The other two took roughly 2-2.5oz of weight. So all in all not too bad. They look awesome on the truck so that's a big plus. They ride just as well as any toyo or nitto I've had, on the 15 mile trip home they had a lil hum to them but definitely not loud. Very similar to toyo MT. Quieter than nitto trail grapplers imo and def quieter than mud grapplers. I haven't had to log many miles on them and honestly don't drive my truck much(4 miles to work). But over the next month I'll get a pretty good basis on how they are. Pretty stoked though, love the way they look and ride so far. On to pics and a vid of the tire noise. Didn't go over 60mph.

They do look very identical to the Toyo Mts, how well do they perform?

Sadly Photobucket screwed a lot of pictures up for us forum guys. I'll post more pics when available.

And so far they're awesome, they ride like my old Toyos did. They have excellent dry weather grip, rainy weather grip is improved over the AT2s I swapped them for. I haven't taken them to my deer lease yet and well we don't get snow down here in Houston that often so I'm not sure if I'll ever be able to review that part. But I love everything about them so far. Wearing great, quiet, balanced easy, look awesome. Overall, they'll be great competition for toyo and nitto I think. Especially if the price is right

These are from Hidden Falls offroad adventure park, had a fkn blast out there. There was 4 vehicles with the new Yokohama tires. Mine, the white Ford, the black jeep, and the black 4 runner. Overall, super impressed with the tires and what the truck can handle. The jeep and 4 runner guys took theirs on much more difficult terrain and said they outperformed other tires they've ran before. Def recommend them, performance all around is amazing. We went on the "baby trails" with the trucks and even then they weren't just dirt roads lol. Truck got put to use. Last time that'll happen to this degree. These are just a couple teaser pics I got from the photographer we had. When I get the rest of the pics and videos I'll upload them too
