  • Yokohama tyres anyone?

    Looking at getting some Yokohama Geolander AT S tyres for the Surf, has anyone tried these or using them at the moment?
    Found some at £119 each fitted.

        Currently Cooper ST. My old 2.4 had BF Goodrich AT'S. I would recommend both.

          I'm using the AT-S's, second season now.

          I like 'em, no complaints except they do like to grab gravel/small stones; about par for the course though I guess.

          Would buy again.

            I got these recently.

            http://www.4x4tyres.co.uk/265-70-16/...2t-p-5224.html

            Early days but so far very pleased and it was an excellent company to deal with - very helpful.

            I had Yokohama winter tyres and was pleased with them and know someone, who is far more knowledgeable than me in these matters, who thinks very highly of Yokohama tyres in general although they are softer than some, such as the BFGs, and so won't last as long, all things being equal.

              I have Geolander MT's, Not really aggressive enough for me but they have worn well.

                It depends what surface(s) you are drving on of course.

                Wet tarmac mostly for me. Just put four of these on:

                Michelin Latitude Tour HP - 265/70 R16 112H TL Fuel
                Eff.: C Wet Grip: C NoiseClass: 2 Noise: 71dB

                Prior to that I was on Vredestein Quatrac 3 SUVs for about 20K.

                The Michelins are quieter, not massively. Both good in wet, although I am not trying to provoke the back out in commuter traffic on narrow roads.

                Before that the truck had GG-AT2s and they went fine in snow but were gash at stopping in the wet, and nay effer seemed to be able to balance them to my liking.

                  I use general grabber AT's. I feel they are better in the wet than AT2's. Can't justify mud tyres and going by the recent weather rumours will need a spare set of wheels with snow tyres.

                    18" GG2 A/Ts one one truck, 20" Toyo Proxes on the other.

                    Both trucks have ABS and one of them has VSC, so braking and acceleration grip is subjective.

                      Thanks for the replies, so the Yokohama tyres sound ok for me for road use only.
                      Anything will be better than the three baldys I've got at the moment !

                            KL 71' s look a bit extreme for me...
                            And the ###### Yokohama's I wanted have all sold now.

                              Yoko do the highest speed rated A/T I've seen so far....

                              I had Yoko Geolanders when I first got mine, they seemed pretty good.

                              When I stuck the 33s on I went with BFGoodrich A/Ts, they also seem pretty good.
                              More Lift.
                              More Tyres.
                              More Engine.
