Yokohama Geolandar MT-G003

I can certainly empathize in that department

 

Just did my pinch weld yesterday.. some light trimming.. will do the rest after I install mine. CMR scheduled for the 9th.

 

Nice! I’ll do mine early in the morning tomorrow.

 

Her favorite place to shop is Nordstrom and mine is discount tire haha

 

How’s the thread life on these tires?

The video shows pretty much the same wear I'm experiencing.

I'm probably around 19K miles and just went outside and measured between 15/32 - 16/32". I measured every tire in 4 spots, and 15 was the lowest tread I found. So, they have 75% of the original tread depth. I expect to get another good 20-25K miles out of these.

I have no noticeable rock rash. I don't do a ton of rocks, but I have done some.

Also, I have not yet experienced any noticeable increase in road noise. You definitely hear them when the radio is off, but they're far from obnoxious. The sound with the windows down at lower speeds is almost soothing to me.

They have worn very evenly as well. At a glance, they still look basically new. I'm almost positive I'll buy them again.

I seriously love these tires!

Edit: just a note - I rotate them every 5K miles while I change the oil. I imagine tread life might not be as good without rotation.

 

So I called discount tire and my 35s have been in FedEx warehouse for 6 days now and still haven’t been delivered. I’m getting frustrated as the FedEx is right next to discount haha. I just want these damn things on already.

 

FedEx is literally the worst. I'm not going to get into it but they just are terrible

 

I agree.

I ordered total chaos spindle gussets for the GX and UPS had it delivered in one day.

 

Well after over two weeks of waiting Discount Tire called to say fedex has "lost" my Yokohamas...

With that said they offered 315/70r17 stt pros and matched the yokos price! Getting them on tomorrow morning!!!

 

Yokohamas magically showed up the same time as the stt pros.

And the 35x12.50r17 Yokohamas are on!!! Had to remove rear mud flaps and trim another 1” of plastic.

Thanks discount tire

 

Fire!

 

I plan on trimming the entire rear bumper for high clearance.

 

Lol i hate fedex. Delivered my headlights on separate days like a week apart..

The GX is looking fire.

Installed mine today finally. Got CMR done yesterday and trimmed a bit. Alignment scheduled for tomorrow to adjust caster.

But man do i need gears now lol.. getting a tune update on the 28th.. see how I feel after..

Looks aggressive as hell though.

 

Sick wheels! Almost went with the same one but found the F5s local. Clean truck too. Almost bought a 3rd gen until this GX popped up.

 

Yeah, I waited for these for so long.. wasn't even planning to buy wheels anytime soon lol.. ended up not only getting wheels, but going 35's.. lol.

Yeah, I was looking at a GX too.. I prefer SUV's, but just wanted to have a truck for once. The thought of having to ask someone to borrow theirs again outweighed the preference.

 

I agree. I have two SUV’s and constantly ask to borrow my friends truck haha

 

How long have you had it?

I bought a Taco in between 4Runners. It lasted 22 months, but I decided to go back after about 6 months.

Tacomas are nice, though. I just missed the wagon.

 

Ive had my taco since march. Lol. If i could do it over.. I'd have gone for a 4runner. And bought a full size truck for truck stuff later.. because the tacoma short bed is so small.. i cant hardly fit anything in it..
