I appreciate seeing the tire conversations here in particular because I have a 2019 GX460 Premium (no lift, Lexus rims, nothing special yet) and tires are a fresh concern but I don't mean to hijack a topic on two other specific tire models, and if it's inappropriate I can delete this, but has anybody got any thoughts on Yokohama Geolandars for a GX?
I've run 2 or 3 sets on my former vehicle, a 2013 Nissan Rogue, and they were simply fantastic.
I've been running Yokohama ascend gt for a month now. They are super quiet and v rated tire. These are much better tires then stock no doubt!
The Geolanders are my favorite, I don't do much off road or inclement weather for that matter any more but I love the way they stick to the road.
I've enjoyed Yokos on a Sienna AWD for the ride comfort. Driving is 95% city/hwy, 5% gentle offroad (graded forest roads, snow <6", etc.) They tend to get a little noisey as they are at their last 20% of life and a full life is closer to 50k mi than the rated 60k.
I have Yokohama advan sport as on my G. Love them so far
I have Yokohamas on my QX50. Over 700 treadwear
I have been driving all sorts of cars for 30 years and I have NEVER met a tire that is as well behaved on dry, wet, and snowy roads. I was all in on that statement, but the Yokohama Geolander has made me rethink that.
It does everything I need it to do.
Dry - The tire is precise, predictable, and quiet. It feels like I could panic swerve and the tire would not turn to mush.
Wet - I have never felt the tire nearing departure.
Snow - Even at near end of life, at 6/32ths of an inch, it did really well.
Our original tyre size is relatively cheap, i hope youve learned and spent 30 bucks a wheel more next time.
I run Dunlop sport bluresponse wich are fine, about 55 euros a piece.
Which slick do you have exactly? I ran the d212 medium and endurance. Absolutely hated them. The medium got destroyed in one day. Started losing grip after 3 sessions already. Then I tried the endurance compound, but it also lasted only 2 days and kept losing grip. Apparently they are very sensitive to pressure, temperature and shock settings.
I put a Dunlop slick rear on recently and had a ton of trouble with it. It needs a ton of heat in order to grip but I never developed any trust in it and it has the worst traction of any tire I've used.
