The Yokohama Geolandar MT G003 Does It Conquer Off-Road or Run Flat?

- This week I review the Yokohama Geolandar MT G003, and ask does it conquer off-road or run flat? The Geolandar MT G003 was created using Yokohama's Geo-Shield technology, making this tire strong with an intimidating demeanor. The mud and stone ejectors and optimized block to void ration make this tire have outstanding off-road grip and traction on wet and dry conditions.

Arguably the best looking tire on the market
It is cool looking!
I agree!
Agreed I just bought them for My 2021 Jeep Wrangler Sport S 2dr 💪
@@CampusautoCo For an overland build (Silverado 1500), do you like these, the KM3's, Toyo's, or the Grabber X3's?
@@freidrichnietzsche6643 what did you end up getting? I’m looking at these Geolandars.. very curious
The Yokohama Geolandar M/T G003 is an AMAZING tyre. After two sets of Maxxis Bighorns M/T-762 285/75R16, I decided to purchase the BF Goodrich T/A KO2's in the same size, hoping that the agressive looks of the KO2 would satisfy my needs, but I was wrong. The tyres looked "small" on my 100 series Land Cruiser; they felt too narrow for my taste. I purchased them on Saturday and I just did not feel satisfied with my purchase, so I went to another distributer on Monday and bought a brand new set of Yokohama Geolandars M/T G003 and they look and feel FANTASTIC! I drive my 1999 100 series both on and off-road because I own several farms in Costa Rica. If you have the opportunity to get a hold of these tyres, go for it. You will not regret it. Take it from a man who owns LC 200's (running KO2's on 1 and KM3's on the other one) , Range Rovers (running Wrangler Duratracs) and a LR4 (running Maxxis Bravos), and I have put them all through hell. It is safe to say that Geolandars G003's are my new favourite tyres!
That's awesome. Let me know how it goes.
@@CampusautoCo Hello there, the tyres have been AMAZING thus far. The ride is much softer than the BF's and Maxxis' (35 PSI). They do not 'whistle' as much as other M/T tyres, basically no sound at all at high speeds and they are great on mud terrain. The best all round M/T tyres I have ever purchased. PS -- Thank you for replying! 😊
I ran the Geolander A/T-S for well over 100,000 miles on one set and still had legal tread front and rear. When they say industry leading tread life, there ain't no kidding there.
Awesome!
Thanks Matt! I have been goin crazy shopping tires for a while. Your videos have been my "go to" source for information every time I saw another tire I was curious about. I finally narrowed it down to the Hankook MT2 or this one. You did such great reviews and from them I have landed on the Geolandar G003. I have to admit it was your answer to the question asked below about choosing between the MT2 and the G003 that finally helped me decide! I am going with the Geolandar in a 295/70R17 with a 2.5 inch lift on my '15 JKU. I was looking at 35's and I do have a 3.73 gear with a HD Dana 44 rear axel but I decided I just do not want to open Pandora's Box on breaking driveshafts, U-joints, chewing up wheel bearings, and the host of other repairs that would come from running those 35's.
Thank you for bringing this tire to our attention, it wasn't on my radar, but after watching your video and doing some more research, it is now. I read somewhere that one of the Toyo guys that designed the Toyo MT supposedly designed this tire also. It does look like a newer, updated version to me.
I can see some similarities too. I bet you are on to something.
I want a comparison between the toyo open country mt, Yokohama geolander mt g003, and the Cooper stt pro
Ours have treated us really, really well. They are definitely quieter, but not silent by any means. They get us out of some thick nasty stuff and are lasting a long, long time for an MT.
great review.....i've made my decision 3 months ago on these, you just solidified it. I'm gonna throw em on my 4 runner.
Nice
Just bought some 315 70 R18s. Can’t wait to get them installed, especially after this review
Great video! super informative, I just ordered a set.
Have them on my Land Cruiser. Rocks, clay, mud, love them.
Nice
Thanks for this! Been on the fence of just sticking with Toyo Open Country MT or trying out these. Thanks!
I currently have this tyre and has been awesome so far. Off road it’s fantastic I’ve never been bogged or had to use the winch even through bog holes some one has just driven through and torn up I’ve gotten through no dramas. The wear on the tyre is outstanding how ever if your wheel alignment gets knocked out of whack the tyre gets chewed up fast! I did a 20,000km lap around Australia with these towing a caravan was extremely heavy on the rear the tyres wore evenly and this was high heat of summer I was expecting them to be junk by the time I got home, I’ve rotated the tyres every 10,000km probably should of done them sooner but they have been fine the last 10,000km I have been lazy and not rotated them and that’s destroyed them they are to far gone to recover they need to be rotated... the fronts have a feathered and scollopped badly and now create crazy bad vibrations, humming and road noise. This is only due to my self not maintaining the tyres
I’ve got 50,000km on them now the rears are down to the tyre indicators the fronts have I’d say 15,000km left to go in them but they are bad now I will replace them this week. The terrains they don’t like is sand and super fine dust the only time I’ve been bogged is when driving in sand I’ve never had problems on my vehicle in sand before but only now with these tyres. The bull dust in Australia is bad and catches every tyre manufacturer out but these especially love to dig and in the mud that’s a positive on the dirt that’s a must it digs and bite in and gets good traction but sand and dust it digs deep and gets stuck
As far as the tyre goes they are an expensive tyre that’s why I got them to see what bang for buck I got and they were certainly good if you do off road driving. I’d definitely get another set but I’d put them on spare wheels and keep them for the trails as they are rather expensive and I’d rather not waste those good qualities driving to and from work
Chris Great info 👍 🇺🇸👍
There is no doubt you have to have a REAL tire in Austrailia. The conditions there are super demanding. I would love to come down there and do a month long road trip in a new Mitsubishi Triton or Pajero.
@@CampusautoCo definitely worth doing your only problem where do you spend your month so many different regions to choose from
I've had them on my 2017 JKU now for 2.5 yrs.I am about to purchase my 2nd set but up to 35s..I have 31s now.I give these tires a 5 thumbs up out of 5👍👍👍👍👍
Awesome!
First off ... these are extremely durable and when new ... you just can’t beat them. That being said ... their age shows rapidly and I know I hear everybody say they last a long time. I disagree given I just got new tires after just under 30k on the Yokohamas. Loved them ... never got a flat once. Over time ... the tires got louder which is to be expected ... but what I didn’t expect is the challenge they were to keep balanced. I had them on my 18 4Runner and like he said ... one of the best looking tires on the market, but unless you plan on wheeling a ton ... I would do something else. Now running the Mickey Thompson Baja Boss AT’s and from day one they are are already leaps and bounds quieter and smoother riding ... with nearly zero comprise on capability ... just my .02¢
The Baja Boss AT still a good tire after a year?
Great review. Was happy with Yokohamas in the past. BFG deserves a lot of credit for forcing others to rethink their bland design. I'm happy that they have followed suit. Hope their ATs are next in line. They honestly look like HTs...
Thanks for watching!
If you mean Yokohamas ATs they're already done last year. They call them X-AT G016 and they're one of the most aggressive AT tyres around and review really well.
@@tuna_6548 Thanx for the heads up.
@@tuna_6548 You’re forgetting their all-terrain G0-15.
ive been running the G003 for a few years now and i gotta say they are bulletproof. tread life and gas mileage arent great because lets be honest, this is a MT tire. that being said I bought a new set the other day because they just dont quit. I dont see a lot of mud but when i do, i dont even bother going into 4x4 because these boys pull through every time. I usually do very rocky terrain here in AZ and these bad boys take hits like nothing, Sidewalls are impenetrable. I blew 3 Nittos in the year prior to getting the Geolandars and after that ZERO tire failures on some nasty terrain. I also know that they are quieter by a good margin on road than the BFG KM3s. the Geolandar MTs are beast mode tires i cannot recommend them enough.
Best tires I have owned, does it all, from rain to wet rocks to mud and with low noise and fantastic wear apart from being a looker.
Right on!
Considering these tires for my jeep, how long did your set last? Looking for a mud tire that will last a long time and wear evenly (assuming good alignment and consistent rotations)
@@philipmorris6782 even with hard use on rocks as long as inflation is right and tires rotated regularly expect min of 40000 plus miles with ease. Best of all unlike previous MTs I used, these chunked the least.
@@RoyFJ65 awesome! Good to hear! Planning on investing in 5 of these to have a matching spare. I live in NC, planning on hitting Uhwarrie, cape lookout, royal blue..ect
@@philipmorris6782 I live in the tropics so currently I have to deal with torrential rains in hills and frequent mudslides and roads that are nothing but jagged rocks and I have never ever been let down by them but what amazes me is that in the cities the noise level matches my previous Nitto Ridge Grapplers. Make sure you do a five tire rotation and a chalk test for right inflation.
I have a set of these tires on my 2017 Jeep jku. Mine are 35x12.5x17 and they are a great tire. I have 30k miles on them and there is still 16/32 out of new 21/32 tread left. I live in Michigan and I can testify that these tires work well in ALL conditions even snow. When these tires need to be replaced I will get the same tires again. Well done Yokohama, well done.
Very nice!
Would you recommend for winter then? I live in Massachusetts
@@thomasclark2262 Yes, they are very good tires.
@@kimcaldwell6499 ty
Good tires got 285/75/17 way more quiet than my km2 muds when it was new super smooth ride but little bit ridged @34psi good traction on wet roads
Cool
Definitely a Good Tyre. On my second set.
How many miles did you get out of them?
I just ordered this ones 37x13.50 for my lariat 2018. I also ordered method wheels Nv20x10 -24 negative. I can’t wait for them..
Awesome!
I have my 1st 1000 miles on them now and Matt they are very quiet. I was really surprised, at all speeds you really don't hear them at all. They hold the road and corner very well on dry and wet conditions and soon we will see how they do on snow and slush covered roads. I am still working on finding the sweet spot for tire inflation. I have them at 40lbs and on the days the temps dip they stay around 38lbs. Might drop them to 35 to see if that softens the ride a little.
Good to know!
Exactly the info I needed.
Thanks for watching!
Solid review.
Thanks!
Great video as always and I remember your shop when I was in BBurg (go Hokies!) for grad school. Question though... @ 1:50, the siping only looks to be about 1/16" (or less) deep... is this the case? I'm considering putting these in 35x1250x17 on RRW RR7-H's on my overland/mid-travel silverado build but am curious how long the siping will actually last. If they're as shallow as they look, it's hard to call it a "feature" if it doesn't last the life of the tire.
Just bought a set of these and can't wait to get some miles on them. Bought them for in Snow performance.
How do you like them and how did they perform in the snow?
best mud tire ever. good on road too. you cant get a better MT with road manners considering. and it looks the best.
Matt Great Review 👍 👍🇺🇸
Thanks The Vermonter
Thanks for watching!
thanks for the vid. Deciding between these and the Open Country MT. Think Ill try these out mostly because of weight. For the size Im looking at these are 7lbs lighter per tire than the Toyos. And both seem to have similar sidewall protection. Not to mention these are 25 bucks cheaper per tire too.
Try them out!
@@infiniteepoch8 Cool
Well dang! Almost got this tire over the Open Country MT and decided to go with something there was more information out there on . Wish I’d have seen this sooner!
The Toyo is Awesome Too.
Why? The Toyo’s bad now all of a sudden?
Well as it turns out the size Toyo I ordered didn’t fit and they had a set of these in 285/70 laying around so went with them based on your recommendation. Hope Yokohama reads these comments haha
I just put these on my Ram 3500 and I am very impressed. The tread is very aggressive off road and digs deep into gravel roads while making tight turns. I'm only on day 3 with these tires but i live in an off road environment and it should give me plenty of opportunities to give feedback.
Have you tried these in clay and deep mud?
@@V8AmericanMuscleCar mud and gravel but no clay
@@BluRidgePrepper How are they in the mud and what tires did you have before? I ask for comparison.
@V8AmericanMuscleCar I had Cooper Discoverer, S/T, 265/70r17 (32 inch tire) and went to a 285/75r17 (34 inch tire) the Cooper tires were more of an all terrain tire and didn't offer much grab on steep rocky hills and got lost in saturated and slimy mud.
I use 4 wheel drive every day, my driveway is steep, full of rocks with a constant muddy spot where a natural spring popped up in it.
Hope this help ya, I would gladly answer any other questions as well.
@@BluRidgePrepper thanks! So you like Geolandars??
Great video from thailand dude
I appreciate all your videos. I'd like to see you do one on the Kumho Road Venture AT 51
Great suggestion!
Would love to see a review of another MT, the Maxxis Bighorn 762. Do you have any thoughts on that tire?
i love mine. bought 35s for the jeep, then 37s. then 33s for the tahoe :)
I think this video may have swayed me toward these for my next set on my lifted 4Runner!
I think it is a pretty awesome tire.
I was so tempted to get these my 4Runner, but it's stock height and I really don't get to go off-roading very often, so I stuck with an all-terrain.
I liked the old geolander Mt+. If this is a huge improvement over them I will be very impressed.
I like them too.
Gotta do one on kenda rts. It’s on the up and up. Along with venom xt both are excelling in the markets
I will check them out.
Put a set of these 33/12.5R17 MT on the Ranger Raptor today. Very quiet on the road, don’t flick stones like some of the other AT tyres do. Very good looking tyre so will see how the wear goes 👍
Today I bought my geolandar g003 M/T, this video influenced me a lot, I hope it goes well, I have the 265/70/17
How'd it go?
@@daoyang8919 I tried it in the sand and it doesn't work because of the reinforcement, for the stones it is very good in the end I transferred it to another truck and bought a general Tyrex X3, that one works well for me in the sand which is what I mostly do
My next tire. Was gonna get the BG G KM3 but too expensive so I’ll go with these instead
Nice
Love them. Have a set of 35X12.5x17s...Looks awesome on my Jeep!
Glad you like them!
I'm looking to put the exact same size an tire on my jeep. How do you like yours so far?
@@philipmorris6782 love them! I calibrated my wheels with the speedometer and I get about 16 mpg on cruise down the hwy at 65 mph. I have not re-geared. Not sure if I will...see how it goes; but so far, so good. If you do decide to get them, try discount tire...best price around, and got a $75.00 rebate!
@@Mark-yy2py Hi! Do You have Sport/Sahara or Rubicon?
I have G003 295 70 r17 on my JLU Sahara - awsome tires! Plan to go for g003 35 12.5 r17, not sure if need regear...
@@marcinchojecki7519 have a 2017 JKU Willys with 3.73 gear ratio. I’m ok with that. Less than that, you may consider before going to 35 inch tires.
so which way should the front be in regards to the sidewall tread pattern? is the tire facing the camera in forward position? I saw a guy have the left side of his truck with the sidewall tread facing aopposite direction of the right side.
Yokohama has a truck tire manufacturing plant in West Point Mississippi. IMO they are much quieter on the road than most MT tires
Got it
Hey Matt thanks for another great review! Looking for tires for my lifted 4 runner was eyeing the Geolander MT, Maxis Razr, or the KM3 I do a lot of high miles but like everyone really love the look of the aggressive tire. (Any other suggestion are welcome)
If you want mileage, go with the KM3.
Thanks for the response!
@@CampusautoCo Hey Matt, love your vids! Ok, so KM3 or Dynapro MT2?
(Drum roll please....)
Got a buddy who put a set of these in a 37 on his JKU Rubicon. He gets through the trails pretty good on them when he's not high-centered on stuff.
Nice
Great video brother!!!! Would you pick this or the newer Hankook MT?
Either one. This Yokohama is more aggressive.
I have a tacoma what do you think would be better for on and off road the Yokohama mt or the general grabber x3. Great vids btw keep up the good work!
Both! Pick the one you like better.
Any issues getting general atx balanced?
I’m going to get a set of 35s for my F-150. Cant wait
Awesome, keep me posted!
Agreed
What tire pressures did you keep them at on your f150?
I have a mega cab ram that I'm thinking about putting these on. Will they still wear ok under high pressure? I dont haul a lot but I still keep recommend pressure in tires.
The wont feel as good as a set of all terrains.
I have these now on a Titan XD pro4x and happy with them but is there an MT you’d recommend over these for wear ?
Maybe a BF Goodrich KM3
Can I still use these for daily payment and weekend offroad
Im thinking of buying KM3s for my off roading only 4runner. But these Geolandar tires $100 cheaper per tire. I need a dependable tire thats going to be aired down most of the time. The terrain is usually gravel roads, rocky shelf roads and mud. Should I buy these Geolandars?
I have been Duratrac in Tundra but I would to try this yokohama geolandar in my Lexus Lx470 27570R18
I run these on my Jeep (285 70 17), very happy so far
Awesome. Keep me posted.
How have yours held up? Thinking about getting some for my jeep. Do you do any trails, rocks, or mud?
Agree with Try It! Those would be perfect for a jeep and I could see getting alot of miles out of them! Would these be up with the BFG K02's?
I doubt they would last as long as the BFG just because of the more aggressive tread patter.
@@CampusautoCo ko2 tread depth isn't very good though. I currently have 275/70r17 Bfgoodrich ko2 tomorrow putting on 295-70r17 Yokohama G003's... Huge difference in depths.
The k02s are much worse off-road but last longer
Please review the Yokohama Geolandar A/T G015.
Got it.
LT255 75R 17 fit nicely under my Tacoma
So the sipping makes it so it’s better in snow. So be suitable for like winter.
I think it would be good. Particularly in deep snow.
How about use on a 2019 tacoma, I'd rather have a c load but trail grappler is 8 pounds or so heavier per tire 285 70 17
This would be a good choice too.
So I have Toyo AT 2 xtreme in 35x1250x18....Do you think my mpgs will suffer alot by switching to the Geolander m/t s in the same size 35x1250x18?
Thanks ....Excellent video👍
Probably not much on a tire that big.
@@CampusautoCo Thanks....one more question...Would they be bad if I spend 90% of my driving on the highway?.....I won't heat them up and have a blowout?
Thanks again
@@stever4651 No, I don't think so.
@@CampusautoCo Thank you so much for your help👍
Well I think I just found the tire I’m upgrading my Tacoma to. I need just a little more than the BFG KO2 can give me in mud but want good snow performance and decent on road manners. And I like they make it in 275-70r17 because my 285-70s are just a little too wide for me
Awesome. Good luck!

I have a set of 290/70R17 on my 2020 Ranger, they're awesome thus far. I recommend lower tire pressure, 28psi has been good bc they're quite abusive at higher tire pressures like most E load on mid size trucks.
Km3, cooper sst pro or mt G003?
Why is it always jeeps? Ive outclimbed jeeps both on my 2015 Nissan xterra and 1994 Nissa Pathfinder with no heavy mods,just plain ole 3 inch lift on the Xterra and 6 inch on the pathy with Yokohama geolanders on both, now my D21 outclimbed a jeep also and the jeep broke an axle.
