Any one have any experience using Yokohama tires, specifically the
Geolander AT+ II's? I'm looking to get a new set for my 96 Ram CC 5.9L
4x2.

I do mostly on road driving but like the option of A/T tires when it
snows or if I have to go off the road.

I am currently running on a set of Cooper Vipers that served me very
well over the last 50k miles and it turns out they are no longer made.

I like the Wranglers by goodyear but they typically wear out fast (in
my own experience i had eagles on a car and they wore down quickly and
the wranger RT/S on the Ram wore down in about 40k). The cooper Vipers
were great better ratings then the goodyears and looked better too.

What kind of tires have you been riding on.

Any suggestions/recommendations?

Again I have a 2 wheel drive 96 Ram 1500 CC w/ the 5.9 and drive mostly
street in NJ

Thanks

I would stay with a US made tire if it were me. Sooner or later, we will
all regret the money we sent overseas when our jobs and country disappear.
BTW, the Goodyear RT/S on my '97 BR 2wd lasted 60K with regular tire
rotations.

Good Gawd, you protectionist yanks don't want to buy anything
that isn't 'merican made but you expect the rest of the world
to buy your products ?
Get a grip.

Reading some into it, aren't you. He didn't say anything about the rest
of the world. I tend to agree about buying "made in America" - as
opposed to American brands which may or may not be made in the US (when
I have a choice), as long as the quality is the same or better than the
foreign version.

I have been running Yokohama Geolander H/T-S tires for about 9000 miles
now and I cannot say enough good things about them. They are quiet on
road and still have a good aggressive design, well good enough for my
4x2. They have held up well and do not show any signs of wear around the
edges like previous Wranglers have. Wet weather and snow traction both
seem very good, as does dry pavement. Best thing, I caught them on sale
for about $80 each at TireRack.com. That is a great deal for light truck
tires! They are now running about $105 a tire over there, the ones you
mentioned are about the same.

I will probably stick with Yokohama tires the next time my truck is due,
I have been that happy with them.
