We’ve run the Yokohama Geolandar XAT tire for 1 year and over 13,000 miles. Are they any good?

37x12.5R17 – Load D – 3,525 Capacity – 3 Ply Sidewalls – 19/32nds Tread Depth

So far our tread depth has decreased on the outer edge to 16/32nds (not bad). However the center tread blocks are at 12/32nds. This is a bit concerning! That’s a significant difference from the outer tread blocks. Typically, you’ll see increased center tire wear from air pressure being too high. We’ve been running 40psi front and 45psi rear with the camper on road. The max pressure is 50psi. At the current tread wear rate we should see 30-35k miles from these tires. Not quite the 45k tread wear warranty (but time will tell).

Noise has increased slightly with tread wear but not much. They are slightly noisier than a BFG Ko2 but quieter than a Goodyear Duratrac. Much much quieter than any MT style tire including BFG KM2, Destination MT, Toyo MT, Goodyear MTR and similar. Definite win in the noise category!

They track extremely well on road. No drifting or pulling. Love this!

Durability has been excellent off road. I’m sure the 3 ply sidewall has helped here. We’ve run the tires at 25-35psi on gravel and 15-25psi in snow. Minimal tread block chunking from rock crawling. Minimal tread edge rounding. No complaints for durability or traction in deep snow, gravel, rock, sand or mud.

Compact snow/ice isn’t great. Not bad but definitely not a 3 peak snowflake tire. Not an ideal tire for this condition.

Cons:
Tread wear – especially the center tread blocks likely from heavy loads
Compact snow/ice – not great but to be expected

Pros:
On Road – Fairly quiet, track well
Durability – 3 ply sidewall - work excellent aired down
Deep Snow – Excellent
Rock Crawling – Excellent
Gravel Roads – Good
Sand – Good
MPG – Good considering tread

Would I recommend them? Sure! If they fit your uses.
Will I buy them again? Possibly. But I’d like to try other tires!
