Yokahama GO11 +II

Pete,
I've had a couple of sets of Yokohama Super Digger V's on MQ and now GQ Patrol. Lots of miles and rocky drives - no problems and excellent lifespan.
Regards,
Keith

Just orderd 5 x 265/70/R16 for my NP Pajero after much investigation. BF Goodrich ruled out because you can't get them at the moment and there is also some doubt over their current quality. Looked at Goodyear Wranglers and Michelin 4x4 ATs after having ruled out Coopers (ATs a bit too tame and STs a bit too aggressive for my intended uses(s))
Final thing that tipped the scales from Michelin to Yokohama was price $229.00 each compared to $280.00. Probably still would have gone Yokohama if the price was no dearer than Michelin. Yokohama seem to have a slightly more aggressive pattern than the Michelin so I don't know how noisy they will be.

Ordered some for the Pathy after checking them in person. Fittin saturday this weekend, isnt it ?

they look good, but are soft rubber compound, so if 20394823094230498klms is your plan, they go elsewhere...

I have a set of the Geolander AT's on the hilux and would not buy them again. Got talked into them by the dealer. I agree with th edealer that the tread is great and they stick to anything. The only problem that I have is that they are so soft that they get chewed on almost anything and I am looking to change them at 50,000 kms. I have got 80,000 out of BFG At's and will buy the BFG's again over the Yokahamas. They were cheaper than most tyre but will not last as long. From what I can gather Yokahamas are a softer tyre than most and will chew more easily.

Thanks everyone - like Roscoe I was going to fit BFGs but can't get them. Think I will get go for the GO11s
Cheers

What is the problem with BFG's, been in 4 tyre places today pricing them and no problems with supply, and yes, they all have "Made in USA" stamped on them

Thanks for the input everyone - I've decided to go with these tyres and will have a set fitted on Saturday.
Cheers
Pete

Had the Yokahamas fitted on saturday - first thing I noticed was that there is absolutely no R no vibration or wobble in my steering with these tyres and that was just with basic dynamic balance. Had the BFGs balanced at least 10 times by different places in 60000kms and the buggers still wouldn't run true (Bob Jane gold balance included). Tookl the patrol out on the highway and gave it a good run at various speeds - steering wheel rock steady and no vibes. Just hope they hold up as well off road. I will put another post up about these tyres on my return from Cape York in mid-September.
Once again thanks for the input everyone.
Cheers
Pete
