Is it good enough for off-road driving?
The Yokohama Geolandar A/T G015 has proved to be a very good off-road tire. Many drivers say that they have crossed bumpy terrains leaning back and feeling smooth. Also, many say that the tire does very well when it snows heavily and therefore it is great for harsh climates, and it helps to retain stability on iced-up surfaces too. Some even say that they have made U-turns where their previous tires could not.
It should be remembered, however, that the tire is not as good in waterlogged ground or rocky terrains. It is simply not intended for extreme driving. Some fans and professionals say that in order to do better on muddy roads, you’d better buy, for example, the Yohokama Geolandar M/T G003 or Geolandar X-MT, which have a more aggressive design and therefore are ok with extreme driving.
What features make drivers want to choose the Yokohama Geolandar A/T G015?
As Yokohama promotes the product, it stresses its positive wear and mileage characteristics. However, there is one more important thing: it uses the Enduro compound, which adds a degree of elasticity, which keeps the tire stable in different weather conditions. Also, the compound moderates the rolling resistance while retaining traction (also thanks to the triple SD sipes). These properties make the Yokohama Geolandar A/T G015 a superb all-season tire and an attraction for regular users, who drive around cities and go to the countryside from time to time.
Another good thing about the Enduro compound is its resistance various types of physical impact, including cuts and punctures. This adds quite a bit to the tire’s durability even after extreme drives across rocky terrains. The tire features sidewall protectors, circumferential and Edgetec grooves, which create biting edges and boost grip in dust, mud, snow, and sand.
What about street performance?
As mentioned above, the tire features numerous grooves, sidewall protectors, SD sipes and other features that ensure firm grip and traction in different terrains. There are no reasons to doubt that it does great on city roads that become slippery on rainy days. The braking is good too.
Some drivers say that the tire has something to be desired in terms of handling. It is not really good for high-speed driving, probably, due to high noise produced by its rough and chunky structure. For those who appreciate speedy trips, it is advisable to look for the Yokohama Geolandar H/T G056.
Is it quiet and comfortable?
Most users say yes when asked if the Yokohama Geolandar A/T G015 ensures a comfortable ride. You will not be frustrated if you are ok with low to medium speed, because it turns a little rough and bumpy as you speed up. In any event, you will enjoy above-average comfort levels unless you exceed speed limits and does better than many other A/T tires. Yokohama Geolandar A/T G015 is a little more expensive than those, but here you get what you pay for!
So too with road noise. There will be little or no noise when you ride at a slow to cruising speed. If you press harder on the throttle, the roar will increase. However, even in this case, the tire does better than many other A/T tires. By adding new compounds to the composition Yokohama a kind of inoculated it with the H/T gene and made it but the quietest tire in its segment. Given its chunky shape and reinforcement, which are more typical of off-road tire brands, this sounds like a breakthrough.
How long does it last?
Roughly, the Yokohama Geolandar A/T G015 tire is 80% A/T and 20% H/T. Therefore, it will last quite so long without visible detriment to grip or traction. The new technologies that Yokohama uses in tire production have helped it ensure a 50,000-mile warranty on LT-metric sizes and a 60,000 mile treadwear warranty on P/E-metric sizes.
Is the Yokohama Geolandar A/T G015 tire really worth buying?
Well, it depends on a number of things. You should note that it is less affordable than many of it’ A/T counterparts. On the other hand, I can ascertain that it is exactly the case when we say “you get what you pay for.” If you buy the Yokohama Geolandar A/T G015 tire, you buy an extra portion of comfort, which is not quite so typical of A/T tires. The tire retains comfort in various types of terrain and in any season. Finally, if you are a fan of bumpy cross-country rides, you have found what you have been looking for!
