Performance Analysis

Yokohama Geolandar AT G015 - Official Image

Across four all-season tests, the Geolandar AT G015 shows a mixed profile: standout in the 2025 ADAC all-terrain test where it won overall and was praised as the most competent winter option versus the group, yet average-to-weak in broader SUV all-season tests and snow-specific metrics. Wet performance is consistently mid-pack to good in specialist AT comparisons, while comfort/noise stands out positively. Snow braking/traction are recurrent weak points outside the favorable 2025 ADAC context. Rolling resistance is repeatedly poor.
Overall, it's a capable AT tire with solid wet handling stability and excellent comfort/noise, peaking in AT-focused evaluations, but it lags in snow stopping power and efficiency. Results suggest suitability for drivers prioritizing on-road civility and balanced wet performance in an AT, rather than ultimate snow braking or fuel economy.
