Excellent off-road performance in various conditions including mud, snow, and rocks. Surprisingly quiet for an aggressive mud-terrain tire. Good traction and grip in both wet and dry conditions. Lightweight compared to some competitors. True to size measurements. Effective self-cleaning tread that prevents rock and gravel retention. Smooth ride quality, even at low air pressures.

So far so good. I have to see how these tires will do in snow this coming winter. As of now I'm happy with them and have already recommended them to my fellow off roaders.

I have a set mounted on my 2004 Ford Excursion. In the past I've used Nitto Mud Grapplers in the same size. So far these Yokohamas are better. The road noise is reduced on pavement and they don't dryrot within months of use.

Great all around tires. Light and narrow but not too skinny. Quiet on the road. Great offroad, especially on rocks. Clean out well. I run them at 9psi in front and 8psi in rear, they hook up on everything. They also measure very true to size. Only bigger 40" ive saw is the Nitto.
Two tiny gripes... I wish the tread depth was slighty deeper. And I wish the shoulder lugs were more aggressive.

I've been running the Geolandar X-MT tires for a couple thousand miles now. They are 40x13.5-17s on beadlock wheels. I run balancing rings but otherwise they have not been balanced and have no balancing issues. They run great and are not noisey. Awesome road manners and excellent grip off-road. I find myself on gravel/dirt roads regularly and I love how these tires have huge voids between the lugs. Chunks of rock and gravel do not get stuck between the lugs. (Rocks aren't getting ejected from the tires at 60mph!).
They have amazing grip off road in dry and wet conditions. Highly recommended

Yokohama Geolanders. Quietest off road tires I've had in 35 years. Quieter than most on road tires too.
Great on mud, snow, and granite. Better than bf Goodrich mk2/3s in all categories and as good in mud and granite but quieter and much better in snow than Goodyear wrangler mtr's. Will get these for sure next time.

This is my first set since they discontinued the MT+. Having owned 15 sets of the Mt+ I was a hard sell.
These are a heavier ply, hence the more rigid ride.
Handling in any weather is beautiful, as with traction.
They are slightly louder than the Mt+.
Wear is a major improvement.
The MT+ would feather on the outer edges as steering tires and perfectly flat as drivers.
These have a very nice wear as steering tires and perfectly flat as drivers....great improvement.
They are my new "go to" for my Ram.
Just bought a set for my 1948 Willys CJ2A too.
I give them a solid 9 out of 10 possible.
The Yokohama Geolandar X-MT is a mud-terrain tire specially made for hardcore rock-crawlers, providing relentless grip and performance, slow, even wear, and high traction to Jeeps, light trucks, and SUVs for scaling any terrain.
