If anyone is interested or looking at similar tires, I've posted a before and after picture of the Yokohama Geolander AT+II's I had put on last week. The new size is 245/65/17 on the '03 Freedom wheel. http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2155124/2 Nick |

http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2155124/2 Nick how do you like these? They are a nice alternative to the more pricey revos, ect.... how well would you think they would perform in snow? -nick |

I've only got a couple hundred miles on them so far, but they are a much better ride in terms of noise and handling than the other AT tires I've had in the past, and their wet traction is great. I was riding on GY Wrangler HP's (the stock '03 freedom tire) which had about 36k miles on them. The GY's would spin out at every stop light when it rained. These Yoko's grip really well. I took them through some mud the day they were put on and they pulled me right through. My gut feeling is that they will do really well in the snow, although I have to wait for it to actually snow to be sure. From what I can tell, the tread pattern is very similar to the Bridgestone Dueller Revo's, but the tire costs a bit less. I spent more than I had originally intended, but the dealer (Discount Tire) made me a good deal that made it more effective to upgrade to a better tire. Plus, the Yoko's get pretty good reviews here on the LOST board and at tirerack.com. Hope this helps. I'll post some more information about their snow traction once it actually snows. |
