Tires YOKOHAMA or BFGoodrich

My geolandars did well in winter, with 2wd.

Replaced with Yokohama Geolandars AT XD (GO17). Decent in the snow, and I feel as though they're better than KO2's/AT3s (owned both).

Yokohama Geolander AT or Extreme AT . Awesome tires in all weather conditions. They are good tires though.

Got a set of 4 of them for my 2010 4x4 5.7L and they are fantastic in the extreme winter and rain in the Northeast.

Yokohama Geolanders for tires. Drove another ~50 miles on packed snow roads once I hit the NMW and had zero issues with traction or sliding around.

The Yoke Advan Apex 601 was a damn good tire for the price. I moved to supercar 3's and it was only slightly faster.

Just replaced a set of Yokohama Avid Ascend GTs on my Mazda3.....after 81k miles. They still had a little wear left. Treadware warranty was 65k. No recent alignment but regular rotations. Never had a flat either, on crappy New England roads.

I have been driving the Yokohama Geolander M/Ts for 6 years & love them. First set lasted 5 years, and am on my second set. I live in Eastern WA at a 2000+ elevation and often get serious snow & ice on the roads, hills & in the  mountains. I did a lot of research before buying them, and they have been great. About to buy some for my son's car, too.

My take after several sets of KO2 and the competition. KO2s look good and are very durable for off-road work. Excellent puncture resistance and tough sidewalls. For on-road they start fairly quiet but tend to get noisy after wearing. They flat-out suck in the rain, marginal at best in snow/ice, and tend to push in corners (poor lateral traction).

I had the same issue with my ko2s. Stock 2021 off-road on 265/70/16 E load. The shitty oil change place I went to balanced them with about 30 pounds of weights. Had crazy vibration in my steering wheel and seat where it felt like I was going over moguls.
