Comment:
An excellent tire, replacing some yokohama g039 which still had 4-5 ml but were awful. Wet weather grip and aquaplaning resistance transformed by these virtually all terrain tyres but the noise and comfort performance matched the geolanders road orientated manners. Having bought them just before the major snow dump, i had the chance to test them in proper 6 inch on the road snow conditions and they were excellent. Also managed to tow out other vehicles and vans without any slippage. their large sipes which give all that grip and allow the snow and water to move aside,do mean a little more movement in the steering, or a slight reduction of steering precision if you like! But this is well worth the benefits gained. biggest drawback I am also experiencing is an increase in fuel consumption - 5+% but that seems to be a price worth paying for the extra grip, safety and long life of these tyres. Thoroughly recommend them for wet, snowy continental europe!! - cannot comment on scrabbling on dry of road tracks!
