Owners generally rate the Yokohama Geolandar AT G015 well (77.9% average), most often praising its strong off-road traction and reassuring snow traction while remaining impressively civilised on tarmac. Around a third of owners specifically highlight low road noise, and about half mention decent longevity, though a notable minority report quicker wear than expected. Wet grip is viewed as acceptable rather than class-leading, and around one in six owners warn it can feel weak on ice (and, less commonly, sidewalls and puncture resistance can disappoint).

Tires are a good all around tire with good highway manners... they unfortunately did not wear well for me and I warrantied them out at about 35k miles because two of the tires had steel belt separations at the shoulder and tread... This was on my daily driven GX470 with little off-road use (only a couple camping trips with rocky 4x4 roads). Due to the faster wear and warranty issue I would not buy them again even for a road queen.
I have about 40,000 miles on these tires on a 2021 Ford F-150 Powerboost Lariat. I bought them because I wanted a semi-aggressive A/T tire that was 3PMSF rated and had 10 ply (LT load range E) construction. I do about 90% dry on-road & highway driving, with occasional towing of a 5,000 lb trailer. I live in a cold climate that gets snow & icy roads in the winter.
My first impression of these tires were disappointing. Steering was very numb & floaty due to the soft sidewalls, I also had to have 2 of the tires replaced under warranty because they had radial runout issues and wouldn't balance. Dry traction is good. Wet traction is okay, but getting worse as they age along with noise. Snow & ice traction is good enough, but not great. Wear has been the most surprising thing about them. I think they could make it legitimately 60k, and that is with about 2,000 miles of towing on them. The PB is hard on the rear tires due to the truck braking the rear tires primarily with the energy recovery system, and the truck is in 2WD 95% of the time. I have rotated them every 10k miles. Other than the initial issues I have had zero other problems with them.
I will not be buying this tire again, mainly because I have wholesale relationships with suppliers and want to try something else. I am looking very closely to the new Pirelli XTM AT, Michelin Defender Platinum, and Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac RT. I am not shopping the KO3 right now because of the lack of circumferential channels, that I believe, will lead to worse hydroplaning characteristics and numb on center tracking.

Tires mostly used for long distance travelling with SUV. 90% tar and 10% dirt roads. Poor road conditions in South Afrika. Both dry and wet grip are acceptable. Did 56 000 miles. Very impressed.
Hello
Our SUV Eclipse Cross 2.2 8-autom 4x4 came with Yokohama summer tires, so it was obvious that the Geolander 225/55/R18 would be a good fit for the car, the included 2nd set of aluminum rims was fitted with Yokohama Geolanders. The vehicle is great to drive with them, the 4x4 provides drive, always. Safe driving in snow and mud, dry and wet too. But of course you should drive according to the weather conditions, because even a Geolander is no panacea! It has been in use in autumn/winter/spring for 5 years now and does a good job, never let us down! Air has not been an issue all these years, checked when changing and done! The tread is now slowly running out, it is clear that the Crossi will get Yokohamas again, and my next car will probably too. An A+ from me! Robust, holds up, drives well with a total permissible weight of 2.3t and a towing capacity of 2t - a good choice!
I recommend the tire.
They are pretty good on dry roads for an AT tire. To be honest I haven’t seen much difference from my previous which were pure on road tires ( Bridgestone Turanza t005). Maybe in very high speeds you need to grasp the wheel harder. Moreover, they are very comfortable both in the city and in the highway. Up to now, they are more than decent in the rain. I haven’t got the chance to test them on snow yet. However, I have done plenty of km off-road, mostly on dirt- rocky roads, in which I am very pleased with the grip and cut resistance of the tire, for such an on-road oriented AT tire. The only downside is that small stones constantly stuck onto the tire. It can handle some light to medium mud but It starts”dancing” in deeper mud. No problem in sand and grass either. The biggest issue of the tire is its consumption, which of course is apparent from the rolling resistance rating “E”. Since, I put them on the consumption has increased 1,2L/100Km. Of course the previous tires were “A” rated, hence the big difference. Nevertheless, I would definitely buy them again because it’s a great all around tire, for both every day use and field trips. It’s too early to comment on their lifespan.
I have these on a 2013 Subaru Outback 2.0 diesel. By and large I have been really pleased with them, they are really good in the wet.
Today they showed their weakness and that was in the snow.
We have had about 5 inch of wet snow, they are not to bad on the fresh stuff but
driving back in my own tracks they were all over the place, not very confidence giving.
Won't be getting another set.
Good AT/Mud tires. Even with 3 mountain pikes with snowflake symbol on them, no good on snow due lack of lamells on blocks, no grip on ice becose no lamells and spikes.
Tirewear is slow and hard enough on rocks not to worrie about sharp edges pierce them. Looks nice on LR4 with sidegrip treads.

4th set of Geolanders I've had for big mileage over the years. This most recent set on Chevy Colorado p/u truck. 3 previous sets on midsize SUVs lasted into the 50,000 mile plus range. This set now at 35,000 miles and service tells me they're worn at 4/32, 4/32, 4/32, and 3/32. SO probably bought my last set of Geo's.
I've put few thousand miles on these now so feel I can review them properly. I'm on my third Freelander2 but this is the first one I've had Yokohamas on. These tires were excellent in snow and ice, they're good in the wet and great in the dry. Compared to other a/t tires I've had, they're quite and comfortable. I have found them a brilliant road & trail tire, with only one real weakness, wet mud. These are a road oriented a/t tire and wet mud or wet rutted tracks will result in a call to the local farmer (luckily, that's my father in-law).
They're cheap, great on the road and adequate off it. BFGs they ain't.
