New Yokohama A/T4 G018

Interesting.

Here's the current G015 for comparison.

New AT/4 G018 has a major change in the overall circumferential grooves. It should perform considerably better in mud & snow, but may not clear standing water on the roadway at higher speeds as well as the G015 did.

I wonder if there will be any difference in tread depth or rubber composition in the G018s.

GEOLANDAR A/T G015:

 

From the Yokohama press release:

".. Engineered for trucks, SUVs and CUVs, the multipurpose A/T4 goes on sale in the U.S. July 1 and will eventually be available in over 100 sizes ranging from 15- to 22-inch wheel diameters..."

Just going to take a few months -- or quarters? -- to ramp up production to the full spread of sizes.

 

I was looking to replace the factory Dunflops with a better tire before winter. Was totally on the G015 wagon til I ran across the G018 and it checked more boxes for me.

 

I’m so disappointed DT direct is no longer. Better prices, better selection, better service.
I bought a set of Michelin LTX A/T 2 from Discount last year…….40.00 dollars cheaper each than TR.
That said there are some good deals on the G015’s right now. I just got a set of four for 800.00 from Town Fair Tire.

 

Could fit a F150 with a 2in lift.

 

I’m honestly just thinking of getting the G015… I’m really going to have to buy new tires in the next few months and who knows exactly how long it will be until this G018 is available in a 265/75/16 sl…..

 

So yeah Yokohamas dooped me…

 

The GO15s are still a great tire!! Personally I'd wait a little while till the reviews on the GO18 come out before I'd buy them to hear how others like them

 

Tirerack is now showing specs for the 265/70-17.

Nice… any word on when a 265/75/16 might be available? Not sure how much longer I can hold out riding on my current tires

 

I honestly believe DT they would them even though they aren't listed on their site yet.

 

Are you saying discount tire might have them now for order?

 

Had good luck with Geolanders in the past on my Tacoma. Got 130K out of my last set

 

That's insane. What did you do, put all those miles driving on smooth glass plates?

 

I like how casually you said that you got 130K miles out of a set of tires

 

Just call and find out. Worst they can say is no.

 

Hold on, wait a minute…I just started looking at this tire after reading this thread. The LT285/75/16 only weights 54 pounds??

 

Probably all highway miles. My dad's Chevy Cruze got 112k out of the original tires. They had plenty of summer tread left but winter was coming so we put new ones on

 

Agreed. When I took my General Grabber ATXs off my truck they had about 60% tread remaining and had slightly over 50K miles on them. Tons of highway miles on those. I’m positive I could have got over 100K on them.

 

I have some Geolandar G015s on my truck right now and they're amazing tires. Hopefully the G018s are a great tire too.
