Depends.

5 new Yokohomas are £400 off black circles. Is the 5 wheels worth an additional £400? Bearing in mind your essentially buying part-worn tyres too ..

What alloys are they? Or are they steelies?

I have Geolandars on the front of my Gen 3 and when the Bridgestone A/Ts on the rear need replacing I think it will be Geolandars on the rear. Mine are 205/70 R15.

I am thinking of a second set of wheels with may be Hankook Dynapro ATm for 3 or 4 months over winter, just a bit more aggressive tread pattern, then swap back to Geolandars, but not sure I will get round to it.

I also drive the Geolandars. They are good tires.

However, if you expect heavy winter conditions I would recommend going for dedicated winter tires. And there I would think any winter tire is better in winter conditions.

Just been checking the Yokohama web site and the A/T tyre ref. GO15 is not available in 195/80R15!
They do list 205/70R15 This is 25mm smaller in diameter.
" " " 215/70R15 " " 10mm " " "
" " " 215/75R15 " " 13mm Larger " " but is LT rated.

Any comments?

Roger

Yet another vote for the Geolandar G015, have been running 215/75R15 LT for the last 15000 miles, still look new.

They definitely do make the G015 in 195/80R15. I'll probably swap back to the stock size when my current ones wear out, to save a bit of weight.
