Yokohama Geolandar A/T G015 vs BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 — Compared

“I switched to Yokohama Geolandar A/T G015 265/65R18 114H SL BSW Corrected the speedometer (normally it reads under by a few MPH with the factory tires). They are AWESOME in heavy rain conditions and snow. AT tires, so they are slightly louder than the Defenders, but not by much. Slight rub on a hard turn, but you can replace the one bolt in each of the front wheel well trims and it's all better. They look great as well. Good luck!”

“GEOLANDAR A/T G015 Anyone running these on 17" rims, stock or other? I have Enkei M52 rims, 17x7.5 and 45mm offset. What size fits without rubbing? 215/60R17 looks to be the closest, the only other size close is 225/65R17 which I think will be too big without a lift. I am open to other suggestions for off-road capable tires that will mainly be used on-road. K02 is out because they don't fit without rubbing, and I plan to add flaps at some point and do not want to lift the vehicle or get different rims.”

“Yokohama Geolandar A/T G015 Snow performance. I'm currently running Yokohama Geolandar A/T G015's on my 2013 Subaru XV (WIP) and I live in a semi snowy area and also work in the mountains on construction sites in Japan. My co-workers keep telling me I need dedicated studless (Winter) tires but I had zero Issue with my current tires last year. I got a little stressed out and paranoid about it today when they mentioned it again, yet they have all had slippage on snow with their dedicated tires yet I had zero. Am I over thinking things? My co-workers are asses to be honest, but anyway I've attached some photos of the sort of conditions I drove in with zero trouble, yet they had slippage coming up the hill into the jobsite.”

“I’m on my second set of K02’s. They wear quickly depending on how much you drive. But I take my truck out to the desert in Phoenix all the time. I punish my tires. Not one puncture or flat. I would not be caught off roading with anything else. But if you are a concrete cowboy, I would not get them. I would probably go with the Nitto Graplers. Also the Ko2 has that sweet aggressive look. The other tires are curved in giving it a more generic look. Hope that helps. NTA also has a 70 dollar rebate on KO2 i believe.”

“Nitto RidgeGrapplers… I had them for 4 years and had tons of tread left after 40000 miles until I got a new job where my truck stayed on that dark asphalt 10 hours a day and they started cracking but I had the 10ply tires as I used to pull a 16ft trailer with mowers all the time… my tires had several small nails in them but it never once had a flat somehow. They do good in the slick stuff although I had 4wd but I only ever drove on ice one time and they did better than I thought. I currently have KO2s… honestly not a fan simply because balancing them is a nightmare for some reason”

“Those are the KO2's. I have them on my 2017 off road and i think they're great. I sell and install tires and these are the ones i choose and recommend. I live in washington and they've handled everything I've thrown at them very well. My tires drive very well in the rain and they love snow. Freeway noise is pretty low and with your windows up you shouldn't hear them at all. I sell a lot of these and no one complains. Its a guaranteed customer pleaser.”
