All Terrain Tyre Comparisons

Thanks jimnyfox - it's amazing that these websites cannot even get their own information right!

Looking forward to hearing more about the tyres in due course.

Another Cooper video on tread pattern that may be of use:



Hope I'm not 're-inventing the wheel' here (pun intended)!

I keep sitting down, having a coffee, and going over yet another set of tyre reviews - I know, I should get a life!

Anyway, I came across the relatively recent-to-market (2017) Yokohama Geolandar MT G003 - and have come to the conclusion that if I were to consider a mud terrain (and that's a big 'if'), then these are really 'on the money' for me i.e. they are probably the most road-friendly of aggressive MTs whilst being super strong.

They are available in the UK as 215/75R15 100Q (restricted 99 mph), at a comparable price to the BFG KO2. Not only that, but they weigh 14.7 kg per tyre v 15.0kg for the BFGs, so there is nothing in it for unsprung weight. (I know you will hate that weight whatever the tyre, Lambert!)

All the same, I thought it might be an option for members of the forum looking for an aggressive tyre "to scare the neighbours". (Looking at them, I certainly think they would do that!)

The following is the best of the reviews - giving an honest update after 20,000 miles (albeit for what is obviously a larger version of the tyre).

I have had General Grabber x3 Mt on mine for a while now used on A roads, B roads, motorway and I can't fault them, great road manners, only slightly more road noise than the Grabber AT great in the mud, I went to a pay and play the other weekend and had every weather under the sun. snow, rain, hail and on the way back on the motorway we had sleet so heavy the traffic was down to 30mph all in all I will be replacing these with another set when the time comes but looking at them this will be a few years yet

I think the x3 is another great option. Thanks Daniel 30.

Love to hear a further update in due course.

NB Being on the waiting list - having the opportunity to hear other people's experience is about the best bit!

shows the Geolanders as being summer tyres. Is this true? The BFG KO2's have the mud and snow marking so just curious as to whether the Geolanders are similar.
