Yokohama Geolander A/T-S GO12

Hi, got my trusty Disco 3 and need to upgrade the tyres to a good compromise. The originals are 255/60/18, and the Yokohama Geolander A/T-S tyres are a 265/60/18. I have been told that there is a 1.15% increase in rolling diameter. I am not concerned with this. What I would like to know if anyone has.know anyone who has them, and what they are like? I cannot find too many A/T tyres in our size.. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I am getting her ready for the MINI MIDDLE EARTH trip and am just awaiting my whinch bar from the UK and my Safari snorkel to come into the country so that we can get them on, and then the fridge.

I have these in 265/70R16 on my Hilux. Very happy with them so far, still as new after 10000ks. I find them outstanding in the wet, great on dirt and quiet on the road. They're no mudder but do a good job for an AT. No complaints..

Thanks for that, it is nice for someone to have replied! LOL
I thought a few more people may have had a bit more knowledge on these..
But thanks for the input.
Cheers

I know a few guys with new model X-Trail's and the G012 is the only AT tyre that fits them so a few guys had them. Don't know anyone that had a bad word to say about them. A good all round tyre by all accounts.

Hi I have just been through this with my Discovery2 with 18inch alloy rims and after a lot of research decided on the General Grabber at2 tyres, Not sure how true this is but was told that they are the only ones that Land Rover dealers will fit??? Fairly shure they do one to fit yours and could not find ant bad reports about them.

Fitted today and they look good. Might have to go find some mud and see how well they work on the weekend.

Only down side is bit pricey, over $400.00 each.
Might be worth a look.
