Now have the Yokohama Geolanders and certainly believe they're a better tire.
2012 MK6 GTI: Continental ExtremeContact Sport - Replaced with Continental Control Contact Sport SRS+ - Replaced with Yokohama Advan Apex (Best summer tire other than PS4S)
We went with Yokohama AVID Ascend GTs as replacement. They're 5 year 65K warranty tires.
I have never even heard about this brand. I got Yokohama for summer and Bridgestone for winter and they work in wet conditions
I’m 1 month in on my first set of Geolandar AT’s and have had snow up in northern AB for a couple of weeks. Initial observations: love them! They are quieter than either the KO2 or Duratrac. I haven’t noticed any improvement in fuel economy. On snow and ice covered roads though, my early observation is they outperform the other tires I’ve used. All in all, they are meeting my relatively high expectations for them so far.
I had the Geolandars on my 4wd Tacoma when I lived in Alaska. I never got snow tires during winter because I thought I’d be good enough with the Geos. They worked well enough for me, although a couple of times I did slip. Nothing major. I just ended up using my brakes further away from my intended stopping point. In the rain they worked great, never had an issue. Versatile tire without the price point of BFG. Also, the ride on dry highways wasn’t loud and obnoxious, smooth ride imo.
Blizzaks are probably the best but I've heard they can wear fast. The Yokohama iceguard worked well for me as well.
Yoko N905 served me wonderfully in the Italian alps. Have a small fwd turbo A1. Got up some mountain passes where big 4x4s struggled without chains
I’ve only had snows on my Crosstreks, but have driven on snow with stock tires with a friends Crosstrek. I live in an area that gets about 220 inches of snow a year, plus shoulder seasons of slush and ice. This is how I’d rank them-
Better- Crosstrek on stock- ok
Soooo yes and no. I live in Fairbanks, AK and they honestly did pretty decent for deep snow HOWEVER once it went -40°F and that snow slowly turned into hardpack I instantly swapped them out for Falken AT Trails. Although not as good as a dedicated winter tire they did WAYYYY better than the Avid GTs which almost lead me into a few close calls since THEY HAD ABSOLUTELY 0 TRACTION
