285/70 17 Tire Review Highlights

Yokohama Geolandar AT S rated 21% while driving a Toyota 4runner
Driving on mostly country roads for 10000 average miles
Extremely Disappointed with Yokohama Geolandar AT Tires
I purchased Yokohama Geolandar AT off-road tires in March, expecting high quality from a reputed brand. However, one month ago, one of the tires developed large balloons and eventually burst. Despite this clear manufacturing defect, Yokohama refused to honor the warranty, stating that since the tire had already burst, it wasn't covered.
To make matters worse, another tire has now developed two balloons, again a clear sign of a defect, yet Yokohama continues to deny responsibility, claiming it’s not a manufacturing issue, even though the tire is still under warranty.

This experience has been extremely disappointing. It’s not just about poor product quality but also a serious safety concern. Defective tires like these are a major risk to life, and Yokohama’s refusal to address the issue under warranty is unacceptable. I strongly advise others to think twice before purchasing Yokohama tires, as the company does not seem to stand behind their product or their warranty

Toyo Observe GSI 5 rated 91% while driving a Ford F 150
Driving on mostly motorways for 25000 average miles
Third set of Toyo Observe. Tires with nuts (literally). True ice tire. great in snow too. Note: most of us driving on pavement, hard top, motorways NEED ice tires more than snow. GREAT tires. note do not drive on these tires in warm weather (over 6c) the soft compound will wear very quickly and harden - at which point any winter tire will be useless. Cold weather traction is superior to any other tire: on hard snow, on icy snow, on shear ice, on icy hard top, on slick frozen pavement. And deep snow traction is great. Good on cold or moderate (up to 6c) dry hard top too. Can last 5 winters or more when change over is before night temps are over 6c. These tires worth every penny pound cent quid. and much cheaper than any fender bender.
sized owned: 225/75R15; 275/55R20 and 285/60R17.

Deestone Mud Clawer R408 rated 97% while driving a Nissan patrol
Driving on a combination of roads for 75000 spirited miles
They are great for off road driving, we drive in an area where there is a lot of stones and they don't get cut! Amazing tire!

Yokohama Geolandar AT G015 rated 90% while driving a Nissan Arrmada
Driving on a combination of roads for 40 average miles
I am on my second set of these on a Nissan Armada 4X4, I use to tow, some offroad, some snow, highways miles, rain, loaded. I have had 5 sets of tires on this and these are by far the best overall from being quiet down to the wear bars, even and long wear (40K miles), handling is good, grip in rain, snow and ice is very good. On-road performance was better than the OE tires which didn't last 25K miles and were primarily road tires. I put a set on a one-ton, diesel Dodge 4X4 pickup and they were great but wore very quickly, but grip remained very good and were very quiet on the highway. OK off road for a not very aggressive tread, but thats not where they shine. Overall handling was by far the best of the tires I had on this truck, but will need to go back to 10 ply tires if I expect them to go beyond 18K miles. To be fair, diesel Dodge 4X4's go through front tires quickly anyway.

Cooper Discoverer AT3 XLT rated 79% while driving a Dodge Ram 2500
Driving on mostly motorways for 55000 average miles
Used these for 55,000 miles on my Ram 2500 truck, mostly highway towing a toy hauler. Road manners were excellent. Wet, dry, snow. All very good. Lasted over 50k which is great. They handled the muddy min maintenance roads I have to deal with ok enough. Able to get back in the trail and rescue broken jeeps a few times. For your average truck that needs 8 hours of highway in between an hour of back woods roads it's a great quiet, and long lasting option.

Kumho Road Venture MT51 rated 80% while driving a Toyota FJ Cruiser
Driving on a combination of roads for 50000 average miles
Comfortable tire with softer compounds than many, minimal splitting/cracking over lifetime. If rotated and inflated properly they will last for +80000km. Very tough and hard wearing. I have done multiple desert trips on my last set and not even a puncture. Been all over the southern and northen flinders ranges, SA, very sharp, rocky terrain and they are a great tire for this and excellent in heavy mud. Not really noticed problems in the wet unless trying to go too fast and needing to brake suddenly but performs as well as any other 4wd tire I've used. Excellent value for the price point.

Nitto Ridge Grappler rated 91% while driving a Toyota Landcruiser
Driving on a combination of roads for 18600 average miles
Have nitro on my 200 series. Their durability is favourable for touring. Done 30k Klm in the last year and have had a puncture (Oodnadatta track) and a side wall cut(Arnhem). All up a great noiseless tire with unforgiving tread. Highly recommended.
