does anybody have any experience with the yokohama geolander mt?

 

I've read a couple of favorable magazine reviews on them. However, they don't seem to be very popular. I can't think of anyone here or at FTW that have them.

 

I am a yokohama dealer in the philadelphia area. I don't get a ton of calls for them, but have sold them. Would be more than happy to answer any questions!

 

they look like they are pretty aggresive but they have a different look to them. are they actually a true mud tire? if so what type of life can you expect and how do they perform on the road compared to other mud tires

 

I have a set on my truck.I bought them for removing snow,great traction They wear fast because of the soft compound. I'm going back to goodyear bf goodrich

 

They are a little different beacuse they are directional where most m/t tires are not. Also they are not a "mud tire" like a super swamper. However they are able to tackle the mud snow and whatever else you throw at them. As far as life goes it all depends how you drive. City or highway, or just for wheeln'. If you are looking for the best of all worlds... traction, life, and a good ride the BFG KM's, or Toyo MT.s are in my opinion the best tires out there.

 

What can you tell me about the Geolander HT/S 501 ? I see its made in a
315/70/17 but I can't find any good specs on it on thier website.
I am looking for heighth and revolutions per mile. Can you provide me any information on these two specs..Thank you in advance for any info.

 

I will look at my books at work on Mon. for the exact specs. However I am pretty sure that they are about 34.5" tall. Again,I will double check that and get you the revs for Monday.

 

The geolander HT/S is a good tire for someone who drives their truck everyday and wants to get good millage and a quiet ride. They will go off-road but are not an A/T tire. As far as the specs go, the O.D. is 34.4" and the revs are 603.
