Geolander MT G003

Just upgraded to these in July. Big improvement over the KO2s.

I have had issues here with the baby shit mud we get in the July and August monsoons. The KO2s cake up and become slicks. Don’t even get me started on the Wild Peaks.

I’m running these in an E rated 16” 285. There are a couple of trails out here that have proven near unmanageable in the past when wet. Wife and I hit a section of Hole in the Rock Road in late June and it was a fight.

I’ve never been a fan of Yokohamas, but a buddy of mine put a pair on his 70 series and I was surprised at how quiet they were on the highway for a MT. Decided to gamble on a set.

They are a big improvement in the baby shit over the KO2s. Noticeable. FWIW, they also balanced well.

 

Nice! Pics?

Curious to see how these will do in the rain and snow vs the KO2s.

 

They suck in light precipitation tbh.

 

I never had issues with the KO2s in the snow. I drove through about 90 miles in a blizzard with them and did fine.

We’ll see how these do in other conditions.

 

Everything is a compromise, they won't be as good with rain and cold weather, but will kill it on a trail with mud.

I'd put these up there with the Toyo M/T's.

We don't have much mud so I tend to buy hybrid tires.

 

The Yokohamas might be bad in light precipitation, but the KO2's are terrible, so anything will be an improvement.

 

Never had KO2s but I’ll take your word for it. G003s are great for everything else otherwise.

 

Yeah, I might buy a spare set of wheels and mount a winter tire for Dec through April.

 

ive ran them for almost 20k miles and over 1 year living in the pacific north west, never had an issue in light rain or even heavy rain tbh, but I’m also not gunning it in the rain

Ice is another story but can’t expect much with a MT on ice

 

Absolutely love geolanders mt/s. Sent it all the way to the tip of Mexico/Baja and back to California no problem. Lighter then Toyos mt/s as well… also cheaper…

GREAT BUY

 

Nice OP. Pics would be nice.

 

I have a roundabout where I live. It fishtails a bit. My own experience of course.

 

Thinking about switching my Cooper ST MAXX to these. The MAXX are just way too loud for my liking.

 

The G003s aren’t bad on noise. I honestly haven’t had anything to compare it to, but it’s not obnoxiously noticeable.

 

Neither did I. My duratracs were better in snow though. But KO2s are better on pavement. I might go back to duratracs next, not sure.

 

Stt max is an awesome tire but e load and noise is what pushed me away.

 

No issues on wet roads here. KO2s actually stick to the pavement very well from my experience. Duratracs were worse on wet roads.

 

Hmmm... My KO2's were pretty bad. Not to the point I'd call them dangerous, but the Cooper RT's that I'm running now are a HUGE improvement.
