Our Yokohama Geolander AT G015 review comprehensively looks at the tire’s performance and qualities. This all-terrain model features a unique tread compound to achieve a superior grip.
How reliable is it? For our 2023 tire test, the PPMC Team has tested it out on a variety of surfaces. Check out the results below.
Tread Design and Durability.
The Geolander A/T G015 is an all-terrain, all-season tire that ensures a safe and reliable grip on most road conditions.
This optimized traction comes from the aggressive design of its shoulders and the lug grooves that contribute to the Yokohama Tire’s off-road performance.
The spacious grooves, called EdgeTec Grooves, provide an efficient evacuation path for water and dirt from the road while allowing the tires to easily bite onto off-road surfaces.
To achieve a longer lifespan while going through demanding roads, the Geolander AT G015 utilizes a Triple Polymer tread compound. The unique polymer and its nylon-reinforced two-ply polyester cord casing make the tire highly resistant to tearing and chipping when driving through rocky surfaces.
To further expand on the Yokohama Geolander’s durability, its UTQG rating is 600AB or a treadwear rating of 600.
The average treadwear of off-road tires is around 400-500. A score of 600 means the Geolander is expected to last longer than most off-road tires.
You will also get a 60,000-mile treadwear warranty with this product, which further shows how Yokohama is confident in the durability of the Geolander.
Off-Road and All-Terrain Performance
The Yokohama Geolander AT G015 showcases remarkable versatility and robustness, making it a top choice for off-road enthusiasts.
- On gravel and dirt, the tire excels with its confident traction. I never felt a loss of control when speeding, braking, or cornering on hard ground.
- The superior off-road performance on loose soil or soft sand is due to the tread compound and EdgeTec grooves.
The Geolander maintains a firm hold for a safe drive on desert or undeveloped roads, even at lower tire pressures and under the enormous weight of our vehicle.
This capability showcases its design and composition, which balance flexibility and toughness.
- The AT G015’s snow performance is also commendable. Its EdgeTec Groove design ensures it can easily handle plowed and unplowed roads. The Geolander’s biting quality in snow or frozen roads makes it worth its 3PMSF rating.
However, it is less adept than a winter tire at handling deep ice, which is understandable due to its less aggressive tread.
For moderate to light snow, though, the tire ensures safety without noticeable sliding.
- You do not want to go through muddy surfaces unless you use a good all-terrain tire. Fortunately, the Geolander AT G015 is one of those commendable mud tires.
There were no times when we felt our car would be stuck during tests, although drivers may need to be somewhat aggressive with the accelerator to clear deep mud pits.
Overall, many customers had positive experiences with Yokohama’s tire.
Is the Yokohama Geolander a good tire for off-roading? Absolutely. Its ability to perform well on challenging surfaces makes it a must for all-terrain drivers. Many users share their praise of Yokohama tire’s off-road performance on Reddit.
