Tires YOKOHAMA or OEM FORD
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.
I’ve got the Geolandars on mine. They are great in the rain and smooth on tarmac at highway speeds. Haven’t had my snow to test with.
I loved my Geolanders!
I got the Geolanders literally 48 hours ago - got back from my first adventure with them about 15 minutes ago, handled amazing in dirt, deep mud and snow - haven’t had them long enough to recommend them one way or another but no initial complaints
Geolanders for sure. I have them on mine and they handle better than I could have hoped.
I have EB AWD and haven't changed out factory tires. In southern MN live off 3 miles of dirt roads. Winter has kinda nailed us this year. Maverick handled it all like a champ.
I have the hybrid lariat and I got a set of snow tires on steelies. I have driven through slushy freezing rain/snow this winter and it didn't slide around at all.
I’ve lived in northern Colorado my whole driving life and I think the mav handles great. I still have the stock tires on and while I do drive very carefully when it’s snowy I have had almost no slipping/sliding
A friend of mine has those Yokohamas and is pleased with their performance. But he says they are exceptionally loud on certain types of pavement and quiet on others. Aside from the overall noise, he is pleased with them.
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
