I am in need of tires for my 95-disco. I'm looking for a 31x10.50, R16. At this point I'm looking for a tire that is comfortable on and off road. What type of Yoko's are people running. I've had good luck with Yoko's on other cars. Any other suggestions? | ||

Yeah I need new tires on my 98-disco and I was looking at yokos too for highway and light off road use. I think some geolanders would do the job. The stock ones that come on new g-wagens. | ||

I just purchased a set of Yoko Geolandar AT + II's for my daily drivers. I've not mounted them yet but they look like they should do excellent on the asphalt and fairly good off road. I went with 245/75/16. I purchased them at www.tires.com for like $105 a tire including shipping and had them within days. They also had a 90 days same as cash deal if that helps ya. | ||

Once I got my first set, I buy BFG-A/T's for life, regardless of how much more expensive they are. I do a lot of sand dune driving to surf and not much muddin', so grain of salt here, but they kick ass in the sand, and are quiet on the freeway. | ||

I have the Yoko's and have been greatly impressed by them. They are great in all but the gooiest mud. I've used them in mud, sand, hard-packed dirt, and rocks, and they've really surprised me. I highly reccommend them for a daily driver. | ||

Just me 2 cents but Goodyear MTRs have treated me really well, on and off road, same set for the past 18 months. And I really beat the snot out of the tires, then hit the highway and expect them to perform. They are a bit stronger than yokos in the treadwear, plus I have no fear of running over random shit in the road.... | ||

I have 38K on my Yoko Geo AT+ and still half the usable tread left. Great for a daily driver. Quiet, lots-o-grip, great in sand and have been pretty good in the mud too. I would recommend them highly. | ||

I am running Bridgestone Dueler AT Revo's. I have had these tires for about 1,000 miles, and so far I have been very pleased. They aren't the BFG MT's (like I had before) in mud, but in everything else they are great. I would have gotten another MT, but I needed to get something with more snow traction because I am going to college next year in the mountains of NC. In the snow and in the rain the B-Stones are big improvement. With the BFG's I would Hydro pretty easily, but with the Bridgestones they keep me connected to the asphalt well. It has rained all week here in NC, and in all the places I used to hydro I now have some traction. So that's my vote for an AT tire. Will | ||

Corey and Neil, what's your input on sidewall scarring with the tires you're running. | ||

No problems so far on VT and NH granite and NJ mud and sand. Very little scarring. I wouldn't put the sidewalls on par with the MT/R, but I do think it is a pretty stout tire. I also have experience with the Yoko Geo MT's. If you don't have to worry about snow I would also recommend these. Only pitfall is they are unidirectional so for a spare you need to carry right and left spares, find a closely matched spare, or carry left tire and hope that you never get a flat on the right side...
