1 year Yokohama GO15 update

Well it's been a bit over a year and roughly 15,000 miles later since I had the GO15's installed. Still love 'em. Takes me anywhere I want to go with no drama. Sand, reasonable mud, wet grass, gravel, snow, rain, slush, rocks, crossing creeks, and day to day asphalt driving. My only 2 complaints still are 1) picks up more small rocks/gravel than I would like and 2) are wearing faster than I would like. Be lucky to get 30,000 miles from them. That said I've never gotten stuck (even in mud I should NOT of traversed) and are quiet on the road and great in snow. I will buy again. Everything in life is a compromise. If faster wear is the Achilles heel of this tire than I'm ok with that. Average fuel economy did not change (at first I thought there would be a very slight drop).

 

I just took them off of my 2017 They had 30K on them -I probably could have gotten 2-3K more out of them, but going into winter -I did not want to go any farther. The lack of length of tread life was my only complaint. They were very quiet and had good traction when needed.
Mine were p265/65/17 - If your are the LT's maybe you will get better life

 

@markmizzou

What did you replace them with? Also mine are SL, not LT.

 

I went a totally different direction -sometimes "unheard of" in these forums. I went to a less aggressive tire in the same size (P265/65/17)
I had my dealer get me a set of Nitto Crosstrek 2's. They are really quiet, except for a low "hum". Super smooth riding and -I can hardly believe this part- but my mileage has gotten noticeably better. What I was after was a longer tread life, but it will be awhile before I can tell about that. They are a tire that is not on Nitto's website. What I was told they are specially made for "large tire dealers" like "Big-O".I was cruising down I-70 at 75mph the other day (going to St. Louis) with a load of "fire-pit wood" for my Daughter and SIL. My onboard mileage was showing 21.7 MPG. At that speed and with a decent load , this MPG was not possible before -at least not for me?
I am running them at 32-36lbs -depending on how warmed up they are.
I really do not have the "need or desire" to drive around on pavement with an aggressive looking tire -I just know what works the best for me! I do go off paved roads now and then, to haul fire wood -but no true "Off Roading" adventures.
