Higher is better. The Relative Score follows your weights below; category scores do not change.
Wet grip starts at “Important”. Treadwear starts at “Neutral” here: road tests measured it for at most one of the two tires, so it rests on owner reviews. Move the sliders and the scores update instantly.
Only one of the two tires has a score here, so this weight changes nothing in the head-to-head.

Themes extracted from owner reviews found online — not the opinion of TireWheelGuide.
From Reddit, forums and review threads. Not part of our score
Community sentiment toward the Yokohama Geolandar A/T G015 is predominantly positive, with owners highlighting its quiet highway manners, strong snow and wet traction, and good light off-road capability. Criticisms primarily center around a slight 1–2 mpg fuel economy loss, potential ride harshness or softer P-rated sidewalls depending on vehicle application, and gravel retention in the tread. Many drivers consider it a balanced all-terrain tire suited for predominantly on-road daily driving with occasional trail use.
“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!”
“I may up the pressure to your suggestion - I'm running the door jamb recommended 39 PSI all around. I pick up little pebbles in the tread all day, every day, I notice. I have noticed a ~2 mpg loss on fuel economy, which really adds a lot to the "price" of the tires. Are you seeing any worse MPGs?”
“Anyone here running Yokohama Geolandar A/T4 G018's? Any complaints or regrets (road noise, balancing issues, etc.), specifically in SL load? Currently have the Geolandar A/T G015's on my 4th gen and am considering the A/T4's next. All the real feedback (non-commercial reviews) I've been able find on here and other forums seem to be pretty old and mostly by people without a ton of miles on them. My use case is about 90% on road with the remaining 10% on mild to moderate trails. Not a rock crawler and never will be. The G015's in SL load have been pretty perfect but I've been thinking about changing to the A/T4's next for slightly better off road performance. Main concern (aside from weight, which is why I'm looking to stay with SL instead of C) is wet pavement safety since I drive my young kids pretty much daily. I only have a roof rack, so not too much added weight.”
Based on 30 community posts
The community expresses overwhelmingly positive feedback for the Cooper Discoverer A/T3, praising its strong performance on the highway, good wet and snow traction, and smooth, relatively quiet ride quality. Many users note that the tires wear well over tens of thousands of miles, though some mention that they can get slightly louder as they age and tend to pack up in deep mud. Overall, users consider them to be reliable, high-value all-terrain tires suitable for daily driving, towing, and light off-roading.
“Put a set on a day after I purchased my truck. Have about 8500 miles on them and no complaints whatsoever. Been on a 3000 trip with them not towing and a 2400 mile trip towing a 8K travel trailer. No problems on either trip. I'll get another set when these wear out, hopefully many miles down the road. No sign of wear yet!”
“I have a set of 275/60R20 on my dodge work truck. Coming up on 35k. Oilfield roads. These tires are ride smooth and are quiet. They have done well in the snow and mud for me. I will purchase a set of these for my own personal truck once needed. These are great tires.”

Every category score blends two independent signals. 60% comes from professional tire tests (braking distances, lap times, noise measurements), each result compared with every other tire in the same test and newer tests counting more. 40% comes from owner reviews found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates. Both use one scale: the average tested tire gets 70, the best 100. When a tire has only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from the other and the score stays closer to average; with no road test and fewer than five owner reviews it gets no score yet.
Handling is the exception: road tests measure it inside the dry and wet scores, so its own row comes from owner ratings only and starts as less important.
