I just put a set of these on my Tacoma. 285/75 16. Love them so far. Have to work out some clearance issues though. They are taller and skinnier than my last set was of the same size.
@brett acree - how do you like them today after having them for 2 years? I can’t decide between the ko2 and this one. Would like to know your thoughts. Thanks!
@@motogp2375 I still love them. I don’t put near the miles on my truck that I used to, probably have about 14,000 on the tires, but they still look new. I’ve driven in rain, ice, deep snow and some nasty mud and haven’t gotten stuck yet. They are a little louder on pavement now than they were new, but it’s not horrible. They handle great on dry roads. They only time I slipped was on ice. I was also considering the KO2s but I don’t think they could have gotten me through some of the mud. These dig in and keep digging until you tell them to stop.
@@brettacree757 I have KO2's and have about 10K on them. This winter, UT has seen more rain and snow than anyone can remember. So with that said, it's been insanely muddy. The KO2's just don't cut it in mud. I also couldn't make it up a partially covered with snow, dirt and rock road that was really steep up the side of a mountain to get to where i normally shoot. I didn't go shooting all winter because of that. If i had mud tires i probably would have gone shooting throughout the winter. This winter i did not because the KO2's would have gotten me stuck and couldn't make it up semi snowy, steeper mountain roads. That said, the KO2's do pretty well on rocks and dirt.
@@brettacree757i appreciate it man! So i got them 285/75/16 but then i did a OME 2.5 and now needing the 35s like he has on here. Do i actually need to regear when i jump into the 35s? Thanks for any info!
I like the 3 ply side wall feature. For me i'm in Utah and my side wall on my Nitto Tera Grappler's got punctured at about 30K. I drive in the mountains here in Utah multiple times a week because i do a lot of long distance shooting. It's insanely rocky here. I feel like i'm committing a sin against my tires most of the time i drive out here in the mountains. It's just that bad. After my Nitto AT's went, i decided to go with the KO2's. I like them but they are crap in mud. There's been more snow and rain in UT this winter than most people can remember. So much so for me that i haven't even really gone shooting since early Nov. I only have about 10K on my KO2's but because i go off road so much and there's been so much mud out here along with sharp rocks everywhere... i feel like i need to put something like this Geolander mt G003 on there right now and hold the KO2's in reserve. We shall see. I can drive my Tacoma almost strictly off road, save the commute to the mountains and take the car to work. Decisions, Decisions.
How did these do long term? I heard these are much quieter and smoother on the highway than most MTs (I am coming from MT Bajas). How are they compared to other MTs on the highway? Did they get much louder after 30k miles?
ChuckNorris' 3rdnut I’m liking them real well awsome off-road not too noisy on road not as good of wet road stability as the falkens but did not plan them to be. Rougher riding than the falken because of heavier sidewall but they are a awsome tire if you are going to run harder trails
I completely understand though. It IS a disease...lol. it's like having a woman you love to look at vs one you dont. Not really but hopefully you know what I mean. You'll keep running those bigger meats because they look so damn good regardless of the facts. 😁
Mark Linder understand. I just got bigger tires myself. The biggest one I can fit without a lift on my Montero. Never liked pizza cutters. Don’t know why he went for pizza cutters in the first place and made a vid about it and how he liked it and all. And then went back for these making his pizza cutter vid pointless.
@@emptytube I still run pizza cutters on my other rigs and including this one in a 255/85r 16 the skinny tire works better in almost all conditions other than rock crawling which I’ve been doing a lot of in the cruiser nowadays. So this doesn’t make anything moot I’ve changed my mind on nothing and continue to test and try things on a weekly basis and try to maintain flexible
@@ozarkoverlandoutfitters9218 wondering if you have any experience with BFG KM3? I have been looking everywhere for someone who’s experienced the G003 vs the km3 :)
@@ozarkoverlandoutfitters9218 There is 255/85r17(34.6×9.8, a 245mm width tire, when put on a 17x7 wheel, but .5 inches taller than what a 255/85r17 calculates to at 34.1) Mickey Thompson Baja Boss AT, although the 315/75r16 Yokohama Geolander MT G003 is only 69lbs. Though I would prefer a 265/85r17(34.74x10.7 on a 17x7), basicly a true 35x10.5 because a 35x10.5 is rated on a 8.5 inch width wheel not a 7 or 7.5 inch wide wheel.
Love those tires. I tossed between those Yokies and the Ko2s today!
I stayed with the ko2s for 02 tundra.
-Great vid!!
I had Ko2's.. The tread depth sucks on them. I just went G003 and couldn't be happier
What made you switch to the wide tires from the skinny ones?
Love mine! My 21' Ranger is a beast on these @ 295/70r17. But I wouldn't call them "quiet" they do have some hum to them.

Same here. Just switched them today. Looks great! Gonna take it off-roading soon
Yokohama I believe has a truck tire manufacturing plant in Mississippi and a car tire plant in Virginia.
I'm a big Falken fan but I do have to admit those Yokohamas are nice. Let us know how durable they turn out.
These tires any good on the highway in snowy conditions?
Damn those do look sweet. Just look at it
I don't need these at all but I am so close to buying for my mall queen
You know in your bones that the skinny tyres are better ... but that 'look' of the big tyres .... 🙄
You've gone to the dark side! 😂

I’ve been super happy with the geolander and continue to use them on everything and have no plans for anything else
How are the tires riding? Would love to see a new video with them performing offroad..
They are still quiet a year latter Awsome Offroad never been happier
I run Yokohama on my Expedition, great tires, a little pricey but worth it
Slimjim Phantom that is what I am looking to do on my 99 Expy
Excited to see the sliders!
G003 are just too good.

I’ve wore one set out I drive 30k. A year noise did not change bought another set
Japanese tires on the Japanese truck feels appropriate
Damn, your LC looks sweet!
Looks perfect man
Yoks stick like glue,though dont expect to get many miles out of them. Speaking from experience.
Looks great! How about a review now with some mileage. Thanks. I’m looking at these in a 285/75/r18 for my 2020 Rebel.
I do a ton of driving and I love them but they don’t have a long life prob around 30k is wore out
@@ozarkoverlandoutfitters9218do you recommend these Yokohama geolander tires?
Is this a Copenhagen commercial?
looks like a really nice tire! but should have went 37s its even more fun :P
Running Joe Offroad yeah I know next time
@@ozarkoverlandoutfitters9218 I feel your pain hahahhahaha
So many things i wish i would have done different on my build lol
Very nice
How are your tires doing? I'm thinking about getting these next week.

Im going to put them on a PT cruiser with a mild lift
Wtf?
@@calabskier1393 i know right....if you have a beater commuter car why not make it a cheap rally and make it livable
Plus nobody wants it
Win win
Is 285/75/17 considered a skinny tire? 34.1 height and 11.1 wide.. I do want a skinny tire .. anyone ?
255/85 r 16 is the skinny 33
No longer using Falkens?!!... UNSUBSCRIBED!!!!! ;-)
Looking forward to those sliders you guys will be making. Did you regear with those 35s?
Nigel Naughton I’m still running falkens on my Tacoma in the 235/85 r 16 please hang in there buddy
Nigel Naughton I’ve got 4.88 and also 3.11 low range gears for the t case
Falken and Yoks made same place and their DOTs are near exact same
Mike Tyler that ain’t right

Year latter still running quiet
