- G'day, Jared from Tyre Review here. Today I'm sitting in the car with Dave. And Dave has been testing the Yokohama G015, all terrain tyres for about the last 20,000 Ks. These tyres are actually ones that we gave to Dave after our trip to the sand last year. So you might remember some of those videos that we did which we might be able to pop up here and tags. But Dave you've had them for 20,000 Ks now. In general, how have the Yokohama's been?
- They've been quite impressive actually. They're exceptionally good on the highway and good in the wet. and I've been quite surprised on the gravel roads that they've been absolutely fantastic. They come in I think it is a 70% on road 30% off road sort of tyre. So yeah, they've been really good in that regard.
- Of course so I'm thinking about on the road, start off with in the wet. You've got a dual cab you. Do you notice that they slip and slide a bit around the roundabout and that sort of stuff in the wet?
- Not so much. They've been a really, really good tyre in that regard. I carry a toolbox with some recovery gear in the back. I did notice once I had that out and after a dry period it did rain. A bit of grease on the road, I did lose a bit of traction. But overall, they've been a really good tyre. I think if you had a canopy on the back and had a bit of extra weight continuously, you wouldn't have any issues with it.
- Yeah. And just for reference, these are 265/70R17s you've got on the Hilux?
- Yeah, that's right. They're a 265/70R17s.
- Yeah. Awesome so and then you mentioned earlier that you tow a few bit so how do I do with towing?
- Yes I towed a up to two tonne trailer, tandem trailer and also a camper trailer. So in between it took the both of those and they rate it up to two tonne, have been exceptionally good in that regard, especially again on gravel roads, on wet roads, highway and so forth.
- Yeah, yeah.
- I do a lot of towing through Central Highlands of Tasmania have been through snow and pretty average gravel conditions. And they've been really really good.
- Yeah we went Dave came with us on that snow trip we did last year, as well, that was fantastic. What about on the gravel when you don't have a camper on? How do you find them on the gravel?
- Really good. Every now and again with other tyres you do feel your vehicle especially vehicle it's light in the rear with these dual cab Hilux that just dips out a little bit you don't notice it too much with this tyres.
- Yap
- They've been very reliable and confident
- Yap.
- Tyre on in gravel conditions.
- So I've got a challenge for you now we're actually sitting at the trial head of a fairly difficult trial. Okay, you to drive through while you talk me through how they're doing the mark. So we're just about to try this dirty bit, let's see how we go Dave.
- Alright I've just got it at a in high four at this stage--
- Yap, so--
- So we can actually put it in light to control a bit of the slide. So this is our local little test track, which has a good array of interesting parts. But this is Dave's first time on the track so--
- First time. Yep.
- Yep.
- Off you go though.
- Alright. So, how do you find them? On this sort of like we're going through a bit of a bogey pile at the moment? Do they sort of feel or are they? How do they go?
- I felt like just before I mind you, I was just using compression from the vehicle to sort of control that a little bit down that descent. A little bit of sliding there.
- Yep.
- It should be fun coming back out if we come back the same way. We are.
- I think--
- There we go then.
- Yeah, lets see if we get lost. We're just about to go up a muddy slope after a little creek crossing. It's beautiful in here. Let's see how we go on this next little crossing.
- Roger.
- Not a crossing sorry. Next little hill.
- Yeah.
- So again looks pretty slippery so we'll see how we go--
- Its been raining--
- It's gonna be bumpy.
- It's been riding downhill that's a hole. I don't think that hole was here last time.

I've had them on my 2000 dodge Dakota since 2012 and put 58000 miles on them we've had like 6 snow storms we got 24 inches of snow and I put about 400 lbs. In the bed and I went up and down mountains and didn't have any trouble getting around. I just replaced them not because they wore out they had about 1/4 tread left but were getting alittle dry rot. So I got a new set. I love the tires
That's great feedback, Chris! Go the Dakota 🤘
I'm UK based and have a 2005 LC4 J120 Land cruiser or Prado for the Australisian market, I was dead set on the Geolander G015's as a replacement, but then the forum I use for info had many saying buy the BF Goodrich AT K02'S. However this video has steered me back to my original intention. The car is 80% a road family hauler, I use it once a week for hunting where it see's mostly grassy fields and rutted mud paths. so should be the perfect match. Especially as im also buying the same size as reviewed here.
Good to hear! The BFG has a great reputation that's been earned over many years, but there's also a bunch of new tyres on the market that mean that the BFG should just be the default choice - it comes down to useage, planned trips etc, rather than being a one-brand-fits-all. Let us know how you go!
I have had these tires in my Jeep... to say they have been impressive is an understatement. Once you get air pressure sorted out they are a beast!
That's awesome Parker!
The best AT tire for Indonesian road conditions (wet, potholes, muddy, ect). I use them for all of my cars (Chevrolet All New Trailblazer 2019 265/65r18, Ford Ecosport 2016 215/65r16 and Kia Sonet 2021 235/60r16).
Am considering these or BFG KO2 for BMW E83 X3 that I do a lot of gravel with, what do you recommend?
@@ole-martinlundefaret5876 gravel you'd be happy with either, I haven't heard any complaints about the K02 personally, but these seem to be pretty well liked as well.
Thanks for sharing. How is the noise level like?
Had them on my old truck and loved them, amazing in wet and snow. 70 on road 30 off is the best way to describe the tire.
Spot on!
@@TyreReviewVideos What impact do these have on fuel economy mate?
Probably depends on your comparison, really. They'll use more than OE highway tyres, but less than some more aggressive tyres. They're really a street oriented all terrain tyre, so you get the benefits of both, but they behave nicely on the road and have less rolling resistance. So... maybe less than some AT tyres that are more aggressive, but more than a less aggressive tyre? I know that's probably not that helpful 🤣
I’m currently using these tyers and they seem to perform excellent and very comfortable though I have 2 inch lift kit, I can say they are softer than coopers or KO 2s
Yokohama Geolanders are the only tire that Canyonlands Jeep Rentals in Moab, UT, puts on their Jeeps, and it's the first thing they do when they get a new Jeep. So they are indeed well suited to rock crawling. I have a set on order for my Nissan Frontier.
That's fascinating Sean! Thanks for the info 👍
@@TyreReviewVideos Check out Yokohama Australia's channel. March 19, 2017. Jeeps on slickrock in Moab! :) (I rented from Canyonlands a few years ago and had a great time in the Utah high desert)
How do you like them? I have a 2019 frontier Pro4X and am wanting something that is quiet and handles well in all seasons
@@Steven-kc7id They're perfect all year. Snow, slush, mud, etc.
They're also quiet enough on the highway.
I run same tire size and style on my 17 GX 460 or Prado for you Australians. Amazing tire. Comfortable and no issues balancing it. I go off road trails all the time with no issues.
Nice! I have a 14 GX 460, do you have them on your stock rims and how's the noise on the highway?
My prado keep slipping rear wheels on drive steep hills and ruts. I was planning to get different brand and then I found this video. Is there anything I can do to get through that trail?
Greg, how is the onroad performance, any noise? Are they harder tyres that pumps ?
@@dr.edsozfamilytravel the ride was awesome, tires performed great off road and on road.
Nice I just ordered a set for 23 go 460 get them installed this Friday so doing plenty of research 🧐 😂
I’m putting a set on my WH/WK1 Jeep (245/65/17) for a round Oz trip including Cape York. It was a toss up between these and the dueller 697’s which are one of the toughest tyres out there. My father has the same model Jeep and is running the 697’s so should be interesting putting the two up against each other. We’ll be towing a heavy 3.2 tonne van also so their work will be cut out. I’ve got a mate that’s just put a set of GO16s on his 200 that is also doing the lap with a 3 tonne van. I couldn’t get those in my size but I think these 15’s will be fantastic. Any tyre company that stands behind their tyres like Yokohama does with their GO15 is very reassuring. I’ll provide feedback at the end of our trip.
Sounds really interesting! Keep us updated on how you go 👍
Any updates on this trip? I'm assuming y'all didn't get stuck out there and end up living in the bush 😅
any updates mate?
I've had them on 3 different vehicles. They are GREAT! Each time they lasted way past 60,000 miles with a comfortable ride. They perform terrific on dirt, gravel, - really good in the snow. Not good in mud.
Excellent feedback, thanks Brad!
I just got the x-ats which are more aggressive. They are kind of like the k02s and general grabber qts
Wich one, the Geolandar AT G015 LT or the Wrangler AT Adventure Kevlar?
Best tyres! i have them on my suzuki samurai (indian spec)
Nice! Go the Samurai!
Daves Hilux looks very straight and glossy. Nice to see someone who looks after their car.
Yeah, it's smick. I passed him on the street the other day after our drive, and was thinking "what a nicely put together bus" when I realised actually who it was after I'd passed him! It makes me want to clean up the Ranger a little 😬
@@TyreReviewVideos haha yeah mate do it. Im just glad you haven't put on a rubbish plastic fake bonnet scoop on your Ranger.
I think that detracts from the HP! I'm vaguely tempted to go the shouty FORD grille, as the satin black on the grille is peeling and looks sh*t. It's all $$ though...
@@TyreReviewVideos they look tacky to me. Like knock off Raptor wannabes.
That was my original thought. It's nice to be different 🤘
Would be good to see them
The best all round AT tires and with long life.
Sounds like you've had good experiences with them before?
@@TyreReviewVideos yes in three different vehicles and they are fantastic in rain and sand.
Nice! Would you be tempted to try others? Or happy with what you've got?
@@TyreReviewVideos currently on Yokohama MT GOO3 and that rocks as well. I have used BFG KO2 and Nitto Terra Grappler and Cooper STT PRO in past.
I just ordered Yokohama Geolandar G015 225/55/R18 98 H for my Subaru Forester
How did they do? Thinking about them for an Outback.
@@seanbarker4208 perfect
Good review, on trail instead of tarmac thanks
I have these on my 2018 outback and they are great.
Good to hear! They come a wide range of sizes, which is awesome.
@@TyreReviewVideos yep, I got it also on my Forester and loved them too but seems not so perfect on the side wall if you use it on strong rock trail....
How did you find the road noise comparing to Bridgestone, the original fit?
@@rsmnh7892 G'day mate. I found the Bridgestone's to be a very road based tyre and as such there wasn't much noise at all. In saying that the GO15 are a very quiet tyre. I get more engine noise coming through the cab than tyre noise. I have been very impressed with these tyres and highly recommend them as a great all round tyre.
There is very little if any road noise. Like the last comment, the cabin noise is louder. I would highly recommend them.
Cool video side not again I'm not sure if you've done this already or not I'm only a new subsidies. What would you recommend for a good mud tyres with out braking the bank something around 1500 for a set of 285/70/17s
That's actually a reasonably good budget! You'll get a fair way with most of the mid-high tier players in that size, but the Maxxis RAZR MT has been getting great reviews recently, but also check out Toyo, Kumho (they've got a new one coming, so might be doing the previous one at better prices), Hankook, Yokohama, Falken etc. Actually, I should practice what I preach, and mention that you can check out our top ranked MTs over here on the site:

~Jared
@@TyreReviewVideos great thank you I'll look into a bit more good to know the budget is unreasonable
@@TyreReviewVideos Jared can you also supply the tyre is the a way though the web site that I can get some more details and things like that thank you
We just do reviews on the treads, so we can stay independent. Best to give your local tyre shops a ring around and see who can do the best price at the time, as it's always changing. Good to support local, too 🤘
My Suzuki Jimny's stock Bridgestone Duelers have done 65k kms already and I'm looking into this as replacement. How's the fuel economy on the Geolander? Tnks!
Hey mate, the fuel economy on the Geolandar should be reasonable, as they're not an aggressive tread pattern, and they're not overly heavy. Weight might be something to consider with the Jimny, though - check out your size and the weight comparisons, as more weight will slow you down more.
which one's better this one or the maxxis at 771
Depends on your intended use, Timothy?
@@TyreReviewVideos just for daily driving.... streets and highways, snow and when a go to work there's a little gravel road.
Is this Hİlux lifted? If so how much? Thanks.
Hi mate, I think it's got a 2" lift in it 👍
@@TyreReviewVideos thank you!
Did he have the LT or P version of these tyres?
Would like to know too
Currently my hilux has 265/65/17's. Will I get away with 70,"s without a lift?
will u be running an aftermarket rims?
Awesome video, curious did you experience any roughness when driving with these tries above 80 kph on the highway?
Hi mate, haven't touched base with Dave recently, but in my past, more brief, experience with the G015's, they're excellent on the highway 👍
Just put a set of the G015’s on a dual cab Ute and they drive really well on the highway, nil noise whatsoever at >100km/hr.
Are these good in snow and ice?
Hi mate, they'd probably be okay for light to medium snow, and the occasional patch of ice, but I certainly don't think they'd be a good substitute for winter tyres if you're in that sort of situation.
I have a new navara 2022 are they good on the beach ⛱
Hi mate, yep, the G015 will be good on the beach, as they're a more flexible road biased all terrain, rather than a heavier AT with more solid sidewalls.
are these good in snow/ice?
Hey Ray, we don't get much snow/ice down here, but from what I hear they're pretty good from an All Season tyre perspective. They won't be a patch on dedicated winter tyres, though.
Is it true that they are good in snow and wet?
I guess that depends on the stick you're measuring them by! We had them in snow and they performed comparably to the other tyres we had out that day, but if you're comparing them to a dedicated winter tyre, then there's no comparison, really.
I am building a rally racing recce car that will do a lot of gravel (06 BMW X3 3.0d) and wonder about these or BFG KO2 s, any recommendations?
The BFGs will be more aggressive, and have good chops in the gravel, so if it's relatively dedicated to that task, probably the BFGs would be the way to go. Then again, if you're going to be on a lot of slippery blacktop as well then the BFGs would be a little more slippery... although the X3 is full time AWD isn't it? So that might help there.
@@TyreReviewVideos Correct, the X3 is a full time awd. But are there other tires that are more specialised for gravel?
There's no way he experienced any loss of traction - he's in a Hilux. They have less grunt than a Vespa.
Shots fired 🤣
Here we go
Terrible tyre if tarmac is wet and tyre life was 45000kms maybe had a bad batch, good off-road and in the mud, will see if the scorpio atr plus is a better tyre
That's interesting WC, what vehicle did you have them on?
@@TyreReviewVideos Hi a 2019 Hilux EC 2.4gd6 4X2
I didn't see any slipping on that last bit
He actually made it through pretty well - that last snippet wasn't the actual hole he was worried about 👍
@@TyreReviewVideos Ah.
Who still uses a huge microphone like that…. I’m not sure they still make those….
Mate, you're out of your mind if you think that.
Look at big picture man.. its quality of those give opinion.. who cares equipment as long its clear. They came from humble background.
Pity you didn’t show the actual tyre. Find anew occupation
