Tires YOKOHAMA or OEM Volkswagen
I have the Yokohama Geolander AT. Great on the road, off road, and in the rain!
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.
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.
Just swapped my stock Yokohama’s on my XSE with Falken Wildpeaks, these Yokohamas are garbage!!
