Tire A

Yokohama Geolandar A/T G015

Mixed

Most owners praise the Geolandar A/T G015 as a quiet, comfortable all-terrain that works well on highways, in heavy rain and in snow. It also holds up well off-road and in light trails, and it looks good. Complaints include a harsh or stiff ride on some vehicles such as the Outback, road noise, soft sidewalls and a squirrely feel when towing, picking up pebbles in the tread, and a 1–2 mpg fuel economy loss.

“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 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?”

How do we compare 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.
