Review on Yokohama Geolandar A/T G015 215/65 R16 98H all season by Micha Kamierczak ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Everything is fine, I liked the product, I bought it for a reason.

At the moment, the mileage on this rubber is 20 thousand km, the remaining tread is another 7-8 mm. There is an opinion that this rubber can be operated at temperatures down to -10 (I even specified it specifically at the Yokohama representative office in Hong Kong), but I would not advise driving on these tires all winter: on icy asphalt it is generally none, but behaves quite well on loose snow tolerably. The softness of the rubber and the aggressiveness of the tread allow me to change my car to winter tires by the end of November, when snow can ALREADY be in places. And in the spring I change my shoes to Geolander at the end of March, when there is STILL snow, and especially in the Leningrad region, it may not hide until the beginning of May. In this regard, rubber has satisfactory handling and braking, if you do not drive, but drive calmly and measuredly in off-season frosts. I often see how the owners of SUVs drive this rubber all year round, it seems that they are completely satisfied with it. Some write that this rubber hums on the highway, I did not notice, my opinion is that it hums no more than any other summer tires. And if you listen, I would say that the car body makes more noise from the air flow. Yes, and the noise from other cars is much stronger than from your own, especially in a stream somewhere on the ring road at a speed of 100-110 km per hour, when trucks and gazelles drive along the way. Many people write about fuel consumption that it has grown, but in my case, the consumption has not changed. In some reviews of this rubber, one more of its advantages is indicated: “Punctures and cuts are not terrible for a powerful layer of new rubber” - this is one of the factors that positively influenced my final decision to buy this particular rubber. But one autumn, a simple self-tapping screw of the “klopik” type dug into the tire and gradually “lowered” it . I enclose a photo of the bug and the process of repairing the tire with a tourniquet. And this spring I found a piece of a rusty nail in the rear right wheel (but there was no puncture, they pulled it out on the tavern when balancing the wheels).

Pros
  • - Softly passes bumps, joints of the roadway and tram rails (which run flush with the road), of course, within reason. There are so dead joints of asphalt with rails that you have to cross them at walking speed. — Confidently behaves when changing lanes on the road with water in a rut. I don’t drive much in the rain, I try to make all the changes smoothly, which this tire allows me to do - I haven’t noticed hydroplaning yet, but the off-road tread helps a lot in this regard. — Good grip on the primer and sandy road.
Cons
  • - Acceleration dynamics decreased; - Braking and handling on pavement (both dry and wet) is much worse than road tires. Especially turns on wet pavement - it blows the front axle, although in some turns I quite noticeably “laid”. Still, this is not a racing tire, it is for a quiet ride without sharp cornering - this must be understood! - When driving on a packed sandy road, which was leveled by a grader, tangible vibration and hum come from the rubber. - In my case, it is not very well balanced and at a speed of 120-125 km per hour it quite noticeably knocks into the steering wheel. Otherwise, tolerable vibrations are present at different speeds, but I got used to them for a long time, because they are on almost any rubber (in my experience on this car).
