I have a set of Yokohama Geolandar A/T-S 245/75R16 on my truck now. I really like them. They are a huge improvement in ride and noise compared to the Cooper ties that were on before that.

I need two for the back but that specific model doesn't seem to be available in that size. Anyone know what a good replacement model would be? Thanks!

Appear to be available to me

Looks like you beat me.

Geolanders in any configuration are in my opinion the best tires available for the price.
Michillen LTX are great but nearly twice the price.

That's the A/T G015. Is that the same as the A/T-S?

They are the A/TS replacement.
They are supposed to be even quieter and have better off road capabilities.
I don't see any issues running them with the A/TS you have.

A couple things, are your tires now P or LT tires? They make both in some sizes. The LT have slightly deeper thread and more plys and more load rating.

I'm a fan of Yokohama tires but was a little disappointed with the newer A/T Geolandar G015 compared to the previous gen Geolandar A/T-S like you have now. In that they do not have as good of traction off road. The G015 do OK but seemed like they lean closer to a all season type tire than a A/T type tire.

Michelins for me... ride, traction, wear, quality, etc.

Keeping you on the road in the worst of conditions.

Piece of mind.

It's my 2WD work truck so no off-road, very little winter driving, if any and mostly just dragging a trailer around town. I'm running E load rating LT tires. I'm trying to get another two years out of this old girl before shopping for something new. Can you comment on on-road performance of the G015? I'd really like to not get lower quality.

The new power horse on the block are the Falken Wild Peak AT3 tires. Excellent ride quality and even better off road traction. Especially for an all-terrain. I've always beena believer in the BFG AT, but I'll never go back, especially considering the price.

How quiet are they?

Same here. I got 117K miles on my last set and they still had tread left but they had aged. The replacements were perfect and didn't need any weights for balancing which is the first time I have seen this.

Yeah, but 245/75R16.

I don't think I really need 150,000+ mile tires as I'm planning to retire the truck in 2 years. Bow your heads in a moment of prayer and ask that it lasts that long. Amen.

I'm surely planning to stick with the Yokohamas and if the G015s are replacements, I'll pick up a couple. Thanks, friends! Smile

Sure, for what your after G015 will work fine. I only have about 15K on my set. Other than lack of off road bit I think a A/T tire should have they still seem like a good tire for the price. G015 Tire ride quality is good. Get a lot of rain here they seem to do fine in the rain.

In that case, I would go to WalMart and get some cheap tires.

Bought a Grand Cherokee that had Prodigy tires made by Yokohama.

Absolutely terrible in the rain. Going around a curve on wet pavement and the whole vehicle slid to the side! Again with wet pavement, they would also break traction taking off from a red light.

Selecting 4 wheel fulltime was the solution until the Michelins were mounted.

This is the second vehicle where I've replaced existing tires with Michelins. In both cases, had better performance in 2 wheel drive with the Michelins, over the 'other brand' tires locked in 4 wheel drive! Absolutely, no comparison. No matter the conditions dry, wet, snowy, icy, slushy... The Michelins grip, go and keep you on the road.

I wish they made a trailer tire for boat trailers and utility trailers.

Why is it that they can make a perfect tire that uses little or weights to balance while other manufacturers aren't even close?

My local guy won't get me the G015s because he says they don't meet my load rating requirements.

Several of your points mirror my experiences. Had a set of Yokohama tires on a full size sedan, excellent tires except for wet traction and thus braking, which fortunately I never had to test. Got 80K out of them, they rode great and cornered well dry.

I verified I wanted Michelin on my pickup when I drove a friend's Michelin shod truck to pull a boat, In 2WD they did the job. My Michelin's on my pickup cost me over 1 MPG vs the no traction Goodyears that came on it. Traction, longevity, and rolling resistance are tradeoffs. Those tires will cost me a lot of fuel over their life vs the ones with poor traction, but it is the safe route to take.

Will the new tire smell be strong enough to cover the antifreeze stink? Smile
