Awful value for the money
I was debating between Yokohama and Michelin. After reading some reviews I decided to save 20% and go with Yokohama. I greatly regret that decision, since they did not even go 50% the distance my Michelin's did. Yes they are quiet and comfortable, but they don't give you any value for the money. I was only able to get 30K mile, before I have to start considering replacing them in a perfect California climate with extremely slow and careful driving. I was hoping for at least 60K, but even driving like a 90 yr old grandpa I only think I will get ...Read more
40K from them. That's awful since I take care of my car and my tires as if it was a newborn baby. Consider that I was able to drive over 100K on my Michelin's for jut 20% more cost. Now I have to pay for new tires, installation, taxes in less then half the time I did my last brand. Besides for the ride these are just awful value for your money.Similar opinion?

Yokohama 4WD Tyre from Bob Jane
Performance wise looks quite good so far even though used only few months yet but can feel the difference after changing all four tyres and price was also good. Durability will tell only after some time but overall happy so far also Bob Jane provides free 3 month four wheel steer & service which is very good value for money spend.

great tyre
had a set of these Geolanders fited to my Isuzu D max at 60000kms and the difference to the original tyres was amazing!! Handle all conditions,wet and dry. No problems at all in wet conditions,corner well and little road noise. I drove performance cars all my working life (NSW Police HWP) and these are some of the best tyres that I have ever driven on. Definately be fitting these next time around.

Know better, choose better.
possibly the worst tires you can buy.. and half these site won't accept a bad review
never submitted a review.. but I will this time.. oh, and nothing mechanical is/was wrong with the vehicle..
as an experienced driver licensed to operated many different vehicles, owned trucks for many years, including this one - these have to be the worst, or second worst (mastercraft for 2 days and ripped them off) tires ever.. I wouldn't give you 50.00 each brand new..
from the start, one will notice that they are very 'hard', transmitting just about every imperfection in the road surface.. sluggish handling thru cornering - presenting a ...Read more
rougher ride.. in the rain, they will break away from the surface easily - I know it's a heavier vehicle, but 35 on an exit and one can feel the beginning of 4 wheel slide.. not what one should expect for any realistic money spent - maybe on used bald tires, but not new and praised tires.. and keep this in mind - for the first few weeks, until worn in, they exhibit left-to-right wandering down the road - kind of like a boat at 50+ - a constant correcting to stay in the lane.. after approx. a month it settled in.. NOW - for snow - in 1/2" of coverage - these tires suck bad.. heavy slipping under easy acceleration, the front end simply slipped thru the corners - continuing straight until it caught - at 10-15 mph.. and FORGET ABOUT STOPPING - at 20mph approaching a stop sign it took over 100-120ft before it slowed to 5mph - right thru and luckily the approaching vehicle had better equipment.. cautiously I managed thru that day - not what I would expect for roughly 1000k.. onto the next 3 storms - 3" and 8" and 11".. the same results, and the deeper the snow, the less mobile you will be.. I have consistently used goodyear sra's on this truck (and previous trucks + wrangler at's) - 3 sets prior, with zero issues.. DON'T BUY THESE - THERE ARE FAR BETTER ALTERNATIVES

Terrible lifespan
Fitted to a rwd territory after getting 55,000 kms on the OE tyres, we were told to expect at least 60,000+ kms from the yokohama but will struggle to get 30,000 kms. Great tyre for grip, braking and noise. Because the tyre dealer recommended the yokohamas we are getting a partial claim on our next set of tyres which will be the original goodyear fortera.

Do not waste your money on this tyre
I have a 2006 100 series Landcruiser turbo diesel. Hankooks were on it when I purchased it and they were changed after lasting for just over 70,000klm.
Bought 5 Yokohama Geolander HT-S G051 for $1,675.00 had them rotated using all 5 tyres at 10,000k intervals, maintained tyre pressure at 38psi as per tyre warranty conditions and at 28,300klm they are down to the wear bars and needed to be replaced.
Shoulder wear from incorrect wheel alignment is not an issue as tyres have worn evenly across the tread. As described in other posts the centre o...Read more

Very bad tyre for a premium price
I changed our new teritory diesel from the factory fitted goodyears to the yokohama's at the advice of the tyre tyre dealer (bob jane). This was the worst thing i have ever done as it has destroyed the vehical.The They are noisey on all surfaces,they have nearly worn out already and have only done 26 000km compaired to 59 000km on the original set. The wet road handling is very scarey, we live in north qld and as we all know it rains here,i carnt beleave the dealer suggested these tyres. The car feels very unsafe and skitish on wet road. Would never purchase a yoko again as the tyre company when i spoke to them about this i was told i should have purchased the origninal tyres then.

Much better than Manufacturer fitted tyre got over 80K km from set! Nissan XTrail T31
These tyres have been nothing short of amazing! After getting about 40K km out of a set of Dunlops factory fitted to out diesel T31 Xtrail we fitted these tyres.
I have since sold the car but had done over 80,000km on the tyres and I guess that it has another 10,000 km left on the tyres! The tyres handled better and had less noise than the OEM Dunlops.
I'm sure that the tyres would perform differently on other cars but these are a great choice for a XTrail.

Tyre story
Before I purchased new tyres for my Hilux 4x4 I checked all the reviews on this site and found Maxis had the best overall product satisfaction for the price. Happy with them so far, but time will tell.

Garbage in the rain.
I have had these tires on my 2005 Ford F-150 for roughly a year. With the wet conditions in a North Carolina winter I was very disappointed to notice they suck. I don't have but 15k miles on them but they spin when the roads are wet. They perform quite like a tire that has 65k-70k miles on it should in the rain.

Excellent
Fitted to our CVX Kluger after factory tyres wore out at 34k. Very happy with the choice - performed well on the highway and around town and solid in the wet. Just fitted new model G055 ( SUV's ) at 100k. 65,000km not a bad return - probably had another 3-5k left but rubber was starting to go hard.Even wear across all tyres with only minimal care. Much different tread pattern on new SUV tyres but hopefully same or better performance.
Price, confidence on-road, good km

ead pattern is completely different to the old ones but so far so good. Handle very well, quiet & am happy with the choice. Have run Yokos on my other vehicles before and havn't been let down yet. Cheers,Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Only average
Replaced the original Bridgestone 684 Duellers on the VRX Outlander at 60,000k, they handled very well & delivered good steering response, however were very noisy on coarse bitumen & the ride was very firm, the Yoko's are much quieter, ride better but here's the compromise - steering response & feel is vague and tottally lacks the confidence that the Bridgies delivered, life is all about compromise but sometimes you should stick with what you know - will not but Yoko's again
Very quiet, Ride well
Steering feedback & feel sucks for a premium Tyre

Terrible
These were a premium tyre and prevously have had nothing but good experience with Yoko. I note mine were made in Philippines and this could be a quality issue.
The original tyres on my Terracan got 80k. No wheel alignment. At 26K yoko need trashing constant rebalancing and wheel alignment. Replaced shocks to nil effect.

Excellent tyre. Fitted to an Xtrail. Great performance on-road and off-road. I've had no issues with wet weather or cornering grip (after wettest summer on record and 3000km road trip). Good Rim protection also.

Excellent
Have done just over 50,000 on Geolander H/T-S GO51 (275/70 R16) on my landcruiser. Wear is even, but I do maintain pressure at 42 to 45 PSI. My mechainic keeps telling that I will waste my money if I had a wheel alignment as the wear is just so even. I could not be happier and I think I still have 40,000Klm left in them.
Quite comfortable ride and excellent wearing on teh 50,000 done so far.

Subaru Outback. Replaced old Dunlop SP Sport 200E road tyres from previous owner. The Yokohamas are as good on bitumen as the Dunlops in the dry, better on dirt, but can be scary cornering in the wet - very skittish. 215/60R16.
A friend reckons Yokohama C-drive is good on Outback (pointy quick-response tyre), including on dirt & in the wet. Another is happy with Pirelli P6. Just as well it doesn't rain much in Melbourne anymore. Seriously, don't believe Yokohama's claims of 'superb wet traction'.
Good dry performance in all areas. Good o...Read more

I'd like to go with them again but as I had these on the vehicle new when I purchased it I'm not sure of the cost.
The amount of kilometres I've got - 60,000 and am reviewing what to get.
They have scrubbed out on the shoulders at the front but I expected that on my 98' Pajero. The rear ones are down to the indicators but have worn square. I should have rotated them earlier on.

This tyre handles good in dry conditions however is not a good all round tyre as its performance is poor in the wet particularly on front wheel drive vehicles.
Appears to work well in the dry
Poor wet weather tyre

Good
Fitted to a 2.4l i-Vtec CR-V, they work well, quiet enough, predictable and easily contolled in the wet. No complaints to speak of. Sold an sporty Integra (with loads of grip) to get this one, and it does pretty well with these Yokos, even in the forest too!!
Replaced some 'as new' Maxxis MA-S1 with these Yokohamas. The yokos are far superior in all aspects, with the others being noisey and dangerous in wet (or dry). Only purchased car used 6 months ago, and might try the Toyos next time.
Possible wearing a little quicker than expected.

Hi rack82, you noted the replacements were GO55s, I'm looking to potentially fit these to a CX-7 (replacing Continental CrossTracs which lasted about 25,000km, pretty disappointing!). What factors made you choose the GO55?
