What real owners are saying

From Reddit, forums and review threads. Not part of our score

Tire A

Yokohama Geolandar A/T G015

Positive

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 just put the G015 's on 2018 Outback . The harsh ride hurts my wife's back. I will trade them in for something that is mostly for a smooth ride. It's funny, I put the LT version on my Expedition and it's great. I suppose the shock valving is way different between the 2 vehicles. I just hope Yokohama 's 30 day trial is for real.”

“Changing tires (General Grabber AT3 vs Yokohama Geolandar A/T G015) Halloo I am about to pick my RR next month from the dealer and I am thinking if it is a good idea to change tires. Here is the context: I am buying the RR because I always wanted to drive a truck and I love American cars in general (I also have Mustang s197 V8). In fact I want to switch from Wrangler Sahara, which is a great car BTW, however after 4 years and only 20.000 miles I know I miss more comfort. The rest of my family even more ;-) 95% of my trips is on reagular roads, city cruising. Sometimes some rural paths (no heavy offroading). My Wrangler came with Duelers, which I replaced with Yokohama A/T G015. The difference was night and day as far as wet and cold. Here in POLAND we have two seasons: it is either hot and wet or cold and wet. Winter in my area is pretty light, however I go to the mountains once a year. So the question is: As I do not know how General Grabber AT3 works, but I trust Yokohoma G015, is the change the tires worth it?”

ramforum.com ·2016-06-29

“Upped the pressure to 43 PSI for a 1000 mile drive, still suffering about a 1-2mpg penalty but that could also have been due to the higher speeds (west TX speed limit of 80 mph). Got 'em off road on the rocks and they're obviously loads better than the stock SR-As out there. We'll see how they handle mud soon enough. Have 5K miles on these things so far and am satisfied. I'm not super happy per se but I'm satisfied. Jury's still out on whether I'd buy again. Will report back in another few thousand miles.”

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.
