Default Yokohama Geolander M/T G003 review

265/75/16 Geolander MT G003 on old ProComp wheels.
This will be an ongoing thread that I will update as I get more mileage on the tires.

I purchased these to replace the KO2’s that I hated on my wife's XJ. I wanted a more aggressive tire, but with similar weight to the KO2’s, and I wanted a true 32” tire. The Yokohamas checked all these boxes. Her XJ is used primarily as a rescue rig for my XJ and for the occasional trip to the grocery store. So mileage is minimal.
I purchased them at a presidents day sale at Discount Tire. Discount Tire has been a clown show 3 out of my last 3 trips to them. This trip was no exception, but that is a thread for another day.

Here are a few pics.

.

A couple things I noticed right away:
-The balance of the tires is outstanding, Only 2 of the tires needed weights at all, and they only needed half an ounce each.
-There is definitely more noise than the KO’s but for the moment it is not bad.
-For an E1 rated tire, they ride surprisingly well at 30psi

I only have about 50 road miles on them so far so I cant say how they perform in any other circumstances. I will update this as I find these things out.
.
Couple more pice.

I agree. Remind me of the Toyo MTs.

So I got to try them out in rain and wet pavement this weekend. They performed much better than the KO’2’s for sure.

With the KO’s it was real easy to break traction from a stop with too much acceleration. With the Geolanders I can go near full throttle without an issue.
Also, with the KO’s we had to be careful turning and accelerating simultaneously because the Jeep would fishtail easily. We had no such issue with the Geolanders.
So im very happy about this so far and so is my wife.
. I hope to get some trail time in soon. When I do ill report back.
