Tires YOKOHAMA or NANKANG

I appreciate seeing the tire conversations here in particular because I have a 2019 GX460 Premium (no lift, Lexus rims, nothing special yet) and tires are a fresh concern but I don't mean to hijack a topic on two other specific tire models, and if it's inappropriate I can delete this, but has anybody got any thoughts on Yokohama Geolandars for a GX?

I've run 2 or 3 sets on my former vehicle, a 2013 Nissan Rogue, and they were simply fantastic.

Nankang CRS hands down. The only good thing I’ve ever heard about Toyos in the past decade is that they come in a lot of sizes.

I've been running Yokohama ascend gt for a month now. They are super quiet and v rated tire. These are much better tires then stock no doubt!

The Geolanders are my favorite, I don't do much off road or inclement weather for that matter any more but I love the way they stick to the road.

I've enjoyed Yokos on a Sienna AWD for the ride comfort. Driving is 95% city/hwy, 5% gentle offroad (graded forest roads, snow <6", etc.) They tend to get a little noisey as they are at their last 20% of life and a full life is closer to 50k mi than the rated 60k.

I have Yokohama advan sport as on my G. Love them so far

I have Yokohamas on my QX50. Over 700 treadwear

I have been driving all sorts of cars for 30 years and I have NEVER met a tire that is as well behaved on dry, wet, and snowy roads. I was all in on that statement, but the Yokohama Geolander has made me rethink that.

It does everything I need it to do.

Dry - The tire is precise, predictable, and quiet. It feels like I could panic swerve and the tire would not turn to mush.

Wet - I have never felt the tire nearing departure.

Snow - Even at near end of life, at 6/32ths of an inch, it did really well.

Have a buddy that owns a tire shop and ran these for a a few years to put his money where his mouth was since he was recommending them to his customers. He said they were no Michelins, but were well worth the price. Seemed to hold up pretty well and his only real complaint was noise. Moreso as they got on in age, but otherwise, he thought they were better than decent. :thumbup:

Generally the folks I 4x4 with tend to avoid cheap small company tires like Radar, Atturo, and Nankang because some of em have had bad luck balancing them, even after spinning it on the rim. The quality control of the small companies isn't up to par with someone like Nitto or BFG so you get what you pay for.
