    just drove 35k's in to Sydney with them and like it, slightly noisier but control feels good. Parking in backwards I heard a slight rub so will have a look but so far very happy, just need some hub caps they did not come with the wheels unfortunately.

    Next Wednesday off to NSW tableland for 4 days good chance to test them off road....

    Anyone considered Yokohama

    Hi all

    I know I am more of a viewer on this site than poster, but this discussion had me intrigued.

    Lots of tyre brands were proposed, however I did not notice any discussion regarding Yokohama.

    In the near future I'll be looking for replacement tyres for the stock standard 17" rims on my D3, and was really looking for a close size match to the OEM Goodyear tyres. I came across the Yokohama Geolandar A/T 255/65 r17.

    This is about the closest size match to OEM (little speedo error and hopefully no rubbing on lock like some of the 265 tyres seem to do) and given the type/limited off-road driving I do I was seriously considering these.

    Does anyone have any experience with these?

    TIA

    I have the Yokos in LT245/70-17 which are about the same dia as 265/65-17. I've found them robust on gravel roads and farm where there's bits of old fencing wire everywhere, have good wet bitumen adhesion, good steering and handling and good wear rate. Being a LT version they may be different to the 255/65 size (eg 255/65 probably have 2 ply sidewalls) but there are people on this forum who have been repeat buyers in the 18" 265/60 size so they may not be very different. I have considered trying them in 265/65-17 next time to get a slightly softer ride with the same dia. I also have Duratracs in LT245/70-17 so will stick with the same overall dia. No rubbing with 245/70-17s.
