Yokohama Geolandar

Hi Robin,

Thank you too, I'm so grateful to everyone on here, it was a few posts here that made me think Geolanders were the correct choice for my needs, You have just confirmed this, the Jimny is our main car,. it puts a smile on our faces whenever we use it! It has to be versatile so is used for shopping trips and trips into the hills along lanes that haven't seen any repairs for years, the grass growing in the middle of themm keeps the underside of Jimny nice and clean! Often have to pull off the hard surface to let lesser vehicles pass, the original tyres are now starting to slip a lot in such situations. Thank you Robin, going to order some shortly methinks, sound ideal for our needs and will help keep both us and Jimny safe.

I've been quite impressed with them, although it hadn't snowed here.  Some people report that they go hard and less grippy after two years.

Thanks for your input rogerzilla, much appreciated. I think part of the problem with my bridgestones is that the compounds have hardened, I'm hoping these new tyres will be better. They Geolandars seem to offer good value at the price point so will go with them I think.

Now ordered !

l've been told that the new Jimny takes 195/80R15 and not the 205/70R15 mentioned above.

Yokohama don't seem to sell the  Geolander in 195/80R15
ls it okay to fit the 205/70R15?




 

There is quite a big difference in rolling diameter. The speedo will over-read even worse than normal and revs will be much higher for actual road speeds.

Blackcircles have the G015 in 195/70R15.
