In this review, The Yokohama Geolandar M/T G003 tire is a mud-terrain tire. It has a 3-ply construction, a nylon cover, and a triple polymer composition to help reduce some of the disadvantages of mud terrain. The sidewall design also includes massive lugs to protect you from rock damage.

Yokohama Brand

In 1969, Yokohama entered the US tire market. They’ve gained a lot of traction (pun intended) in the OEM and off-road markets in recent years.

Yokohama offers tire lines ranging from environmentally friendly to tough rock crawling. The Geolandar range is divided into three categories: all-season, all-terrain, and mud-terrain. The MT G003 is now the company’s second most aggressive tire in the portfolio. They trail the X-MT, which is generally reserved for the most extreme off-roaders.

“Go Strong” is the Geolandar line’s motto, and I can promise you that they do. Continue reading as I discuss the many terrains I’ve taken these on and how well the G003 fared in each.

The Tire

Yokohama concentrated much of its tire development on tread life, arguing that it is the most important issue for consumers, and created a new high-density rubber composition with a novel triple-polymer blend designed to extend tread life. Furthermore, the engineers built the tire with a broader and flatter contact patch, which improves tread life. In comparison to its leading competitors, the tire maker claims an 8% increase in tread life. Because of the increased amount of silica in the compound, the new high-density compound also delivers good off-road traction and improved stopping distances on wet roads. On wet roads, Yokohama claims a 51-foot shorter stopping distance than the competition.

Yokohama Geolandar M/T G003 Features

The tire compound and its distinct tread pattern are the most notable features of the Geolandar M/T G003. The Yokohama Geolandar M/T G003 extreme mud-terrain tire has been built with a new triple-polymer blend and an increased amount of silica in the tread composition. This high-density compound can withstand harsh off-road situations.

In terms of tread design, the touch sidewall design and the meaty shoulder blocks on the tire tread edge are especially noteworthy. They collaborate to protect the sidewalls from rock punctures. At the same time, they provide greater grip and traction on difficult terrain.

Furthermore, improved sipes installed on the tough, stiff tread blocks combine into the tread to aid in flinging stone, sand, or mud out of the ground, improving stability on and off the road.

In terms of comfort, variable-pitch blocks and a high-void tread pattern help reduce highway noise.

In this review, The attributes listed above demonstrate that the Yokohama Geolandar M/T G003 is a true off-road tire. So, how does it do in rainy or snowy conditions? Well, the grooves between the tread blocks readily clear snow and ice. However, the Geolandar M/T G003’s less dense snow-biting sipes make it difficult to get out of deep snow.

The Geolandar M/T G003 is an outstanding off-pavement tire with excellent durability. It lasts 8% longer than other tires in its class.

Yokohama Geolandar M/T G003 Performance

Dry Traction

On dry roads, G003 exceeded all of our expectations, displaying limitless confidence at 50 MPH just 1-2 minutes into the ride. Straight-line driving on clear roads was obviously unaffected, but even contact with pebbles and rubbish near construction sites resulted in very little stuttering. G003 gripped the surface admirably during our sudden swerving and returned to the track just as quickly.

As a result, we saw no reason not to accelerate to 75 MPH while on the highway. G003 did falter at the flanks at highway speeds, but it was far fainter than its competitors, and it managed to squeeze out a bit more grip when we ground down the steering wheel.

Navigating multi-lane stretches was also a snap; G003 came to a near-complete stop with sufficient self-awareness (neither too forcefully nor too softly) and gained significant momentum before joining other cars on another lane.

Nonetheless, when we tried to counteract an undesired slide on highway S-curves, the contact patch gripped the pavement far tighter than necessary.

Corner Stability

All of our cornering attempts went off without a hitch; the on-center ribs felt too stable to induce any worrisome leans or off-angled impacts. It handles wide-radius curves as confidently as it does straight roads, remaining surprisingly poised while our squad accelerated to 60 MPH to dive into carousels.

Slalom bends, however, proved to be G003’s significantly weaker point. G003 handled the alternating right and left turns nicely for the first 4-5 miles but began to feel burned out around the edges after that.

Steering Response

The tire responded quickly and accurately, handling most simple scenarios at speeds ranging from 40 to 60 miles per hour. Gentle turns and S-curves proved to be just the correct position for G003 to fit in despite minimum inputs, giving us much more confidence to attempt daring corner cuttings (or blind crooks).

Nonetheless, G003 lacked adaptability in circumstances where many approaches had to be swapped back and forth, such as on twin apexes. While the experience remained mostly safe, we regularly encountered minor pauses between transitions, and these pauses worsened as we approached the exits.

Wet Traction

G003’s immaculate road manners on wet pavements impressed us. Sure, we had lost a lot of dry-road confidence, but we had more than enough remaining to navigate the water below 6 inches with little drama, as long as we maintained consistent driving rates between 40 and 50 MPH and minimized abrupt shifts.

Dogleg turns were a breeze, requiring very little input; we simply needed to apply more force than usual when diving into chicanes.

However, G003 began to exhibit greater hesitations in dealing with higher water volumes beyond 6 inches, coughing if it rose past 9. We had no luck with bridge decks, too, because their thin, slick road materials seemed to clash with G003’s empty area.

Hydroplaning Resistance

We didn’t have to worry about hydroplaning because the capable siped blocks kept us in control. Rainwater skimmed the outer edges of the grooves on straight, open pathways and lingered briefly around corners, explaining our non-dramatic speed swings of 35 to 65 MPH.

Heavy rain and post-winter snow still tripped us up when the steering wheel became too slack. Deeper water than 6 inches required additional processing time inside the grooves, allowing water to creep in during U-turns.

Off-Road Performance

I was eager to put the Geolandar M/T G003 through its paces off-road. And this mud landscape pattern did not disappoint.

Dirt Traction

On worn dirt roads, the G003 proved incredibly strong. After experiencing a nibbling sensation at 45 MPH for the first time, we established the tire-road link while navigating through sticky, uneven textures with blinding forces that consumed any slight grip loss around tire outlines.

Rusted roads with the prospect of deep harrows couldn’t even touch G003’s tough, triple Polymer compounds. The worst that happened during our whiplashing accelerations towards 70 MPH were the slightly harsher thuds as we walked in bumpy places. Even fast, close-spaced chicanes (which had previously proven difficult for on-road pavements) were relatively easy to negotiate.

It was difficult to identify a substantial turn-off. Some of our members expressed concerns about the jitters on the washboard paths, but the concerns were too random and sporadic to consider them a chronic issue.

Mud Traction

The sidewall lugs and over-shoulder tread blocks performed admirably in mud-terrain evacuations. It didn’t bog down or pause in deep, damp puddles and trampled on them exactly like off-road dirt, taking somewhat longer to shake stickier mud off.
Even deep clay pits halted this mud tire in three seconds or less, giving us the confidence to hit 70 MPH after only 2-3 kilometers.

Nonetheless, the numerous switchbacks wore it down slightly, as the grooves had to cope with both back-to-back steering shifts and mud redirection at the same time.

Rock Traction

G003 slid effortlessly through slick rock slabs, gripping jagged stones and pebbles with surprising confidence (even by off-road tire standards) at 50 MPH.

The tire needed very little input to curve itself into long, laborious sweepers, and it quickly developed enough equilibrium to jump through many thresholds at once and achieve 75 MPH. Head-to-toe movements were already fluid off-road, but they got even more airy here, practically floating.

Nonetheless, as our Jeep climbed onto rock steps, we had to err on the side of caution. The stacked boulders (thus the name “staircase”) created more gaps for lost road grip, necessitating extra vigilance and emergency braking anytime our tire positioning went awry.

Sand Traction

Slip faces with steep ascents generally required specialized tires, yet the Geolandar G003 performed admirably at 60 MPH. Although the contact patch lacked the headstrong, almost defiant hold found on rock and dirt, it was more than enough to ensure consistent marching here.

Skitters only lurked around the margins and were pulled out just as quickly, so our new members paid no attention to the lurking slippage hazards.

Even yet, G003 would have received higher marks if it had performed more consistently on coastal sands. Because these particles had significantly more moisture than typical sand, they threw our Jeep slightly off-track at corners and tight bends.

Winter/Snow Performance

Light Snow Traction

In this review, The Yokohama Geolandar M/T G003 lacked the same self-awareness in mud and sand, but it performed admirably in snow for an off-road tire. Even without snow chains, I managed 50 MPH roundabouts well, rarely losing contact with the contact patch, and responding promptly and accurately whenever sharp rotations were necessary.

The addition of gravel and stones to 5-inch snow made it difficult for the grooves to sustain regular self-cleaning rates on scree slopes.

Deep Traction in Snow

G003 performed admirably here, because of its flat, wide contact patch, which provided significantly better buoyancy than on light snow. The tire rubbers froze for the first 5-6 seconds due to the extra temperature increase but quickly unfroze to settle its footings, propelling the Jeep onward at breezy, light-hearted speeds of 57-58 MPH.

Going off-road to rutted roads was just as easy because of the aggressive tread patterns. Unfortunately, after 2-3 hours of nonstop driving, we began to suffer considerably more weariness and muffled feedback.

Traction on Ice

In contrast to its excellent snow performance, G003 ranked second to lowest in longitudinal traction on ice, tripping over thin air on very little ice development. On the icy ice, we believed the vigorous structure stiffened and turned uninspiring.

Even high-speed straight driving was problematic, let alone highway corners or off-road trails, so we decided to keep things under 25 MPH.

Comfort

In this review, I was not expecting the Yokohama Geolandar M/T G003 to be so silent and comfortable. Its tread design, sidewalls, and superb off-road performance will undoubtedly cause pain when going on asphalt.

Ride Quality

G003 wasn’t quite smooth, but it knew how to smooth out road irregularities in non-annoying ways. Given steady steering and fewer cargo/passengers, we were able to maintain a rather comfortable ride on paved grooves at 40 MPH and even maintained impressive resilience at zigzag curves.

Noise

Geolandar G003 was not quiet, but it was also not unbearably loud. It really outperformed its counterparts here by a long shot, with moderate, well-kept rumbles under the tread that only became more evident at highway speeds or on very wet ground. Aside from that, the noises were rarely bothersome.

Treadwear

No other off-road max traction tire on the market can compete with the G003’s long-lasting treadwear. Sharp pebbles and steep ascents couldn’t even scratch the outer edge of the Triple Polymer, high-density compounds, let alone get deep enough into the grooves to shave off the tread depth.

Winter colds and freezing temperatures came and went but had little effect; no wonder the tire remained nearly completely undamaged after our test trips. Of course, an off-road tire will not last as long as a touring tire.

Durability

As an off-road enthusiast, I’m especially interested in mud tire endurance and off-road handling. And Yokohama exceeded my expectations with this product.

Geolandar M/T G003 has an 8% longer life than competitors, according to the manufacturer. After extensive testing and investigation, I discovered that the longevity of Geolandar MT is not exaggerated by this Japanese tire maker.

The tire’s remarkable longevity is aided by a special rubber compound with a high silica concentration. Furthermore, the tire has an improved contact patch that effectively distributes impact force, ensuring even tire wear.

Finally, thanks to the distinctive Geo-Sheild texture, this mud model has an impressive lifespan.

After a lengthy period of use, I am pleased with the tire’s longevity. Despite having traversed the most difficult terrain with me, the surface cracks were small. It wears out quite evenly and is expected to be accessible for a long period.

Feel for Handling and Steering

In this review, The Yokohama Geolandar M/T G003 tire features strong sidewalls, but it is also quite hefty. As a result, it’s difficult to throw around a curve and doesn’t seem very responsive.

However, it’s good for the category – I’ve tried numerous off-road tires that are significantly worse in terms of drivability.

Feel for Handling and Steering

Yokohama Geolandar M/T G003 Technology

I can provide you with some broad information about the technologies found in mud-terrain tires like the Geolandar M/T G003:

Tread Pattern

Mud-terrain tires with massive, chunky lugs, such as the Geolandar M/T G003, often have an aggressive and deep tread pattern. This design enhances traction by allowing the tire to grasp loose surfaces such as mud, gravel, and rocky terrain.

Sidewall Protection

Off-road tires frequently have reinforced sidewalls to guard against punctures and abrasions caused by pebbles, twigs, and other impediments encountered on difficult trails. To increase durability, the Geolandar M/T G003 is anticipated to use some type of sidewall technology.

Advanced Rubber Compounds

Mud-terrain tires use specialized rubber compounds to endure the extreme conditions of off-road driving. These compounds are designed to provide a good combination of grip, durability, and resistance to cuts and chipping.

Stone Ejectors

Stone ejectors are little elevated features that are positioned between tread blocks to help prevent rocks and debris from being trapped in the tread and causing damage or hindering traction.

Siping and Grooves

Despite being a mud-terrain tire, the Geolandar M/T G003 may include some siping and grooves to assist traction in wet or snowy conditions while maintaining its off-road characteristics.

Carcass Construction

The internal structure of the tire, including the quantity and placement of its ply layers and belts, determines its overall strength and load-bearing capacity. Mud-terrain tires frequently have a strong carcass structure to withstand the rigors of off-road driving.

3D Triple Block Tread Pattern

One of Yokohama’s technologies, the “3D Triple Block Tread Pattern,” is intended to improve tire grip and self-cleaning capabilities. This pattern consists of numerous block forms that work together to give optimal grip on a variety of surfaces.

Zigzag Grooves and Notches

These tread design characteristics can help with mud evacuation and overall traction, ensuring that the tire does not become clogged with mud or lose grip in difficult situations.

Zigzag Grooves and Notches

Yokohama Geolandar M/T G003Tire Drive Test 

On Jeep JKs, we had a spectacular drive test from Gateway, Colorado, to the Utah border. The trail we were on has a wide variety of terrains. We came across some rock, soft mud, and enormous rock slopes. In this review, Passing through some off-road tracks and ancient uranium mines was never difficult with the Yokohama Geolandar M/T G003.

We had terrific traction and it felt like we were driving on two wheels (rather than the four wheels of Jeep JKs).

The trail continues on to an airport with highly silty terrain. The tires rolled through, effortlessly absorbing the bumps. It was fascinating to see how the tires dealt with road impediments and gripped the road.

The final section involved passing on the highway, which allowed us to properly test the tires in terms of noise. Although there was a tiny hum, it was quite silent.

Overall, we were happy with how the tires handled practically all of the terrains we encountered. Through our review, we believe it is an excellent choice for anyone looking for an aggressive look as well as a superb off-road tire.

Yokohama Geolandar M/T G003 Management

Here are some crucial considerations for proper tire management:

Proper Installation

Have a competent technician mount and balance the tires according to the manufacturer’s guidelines. This includes double-checking tire size, load rating, and inflation pressure.

Regular Inspection

Inspect your tires on a regular basis for indicators of wear, damage, or uneven tread wear. Examine the tire for cuts, punctures, bulges, or other irregularities that could jeopardize its integrity.

Tire Rotation

Rotate your tires on a regular basis to maintain even tread wear. Depending on whether your vehicle is front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive, or all-wheel drive, the rotation pattern may differ.

Inflation Pressure

Maintain the recommended tire inflation pressure indicated by Yokohama or your vehicle’s manufacturer. Proper tire inflation guarantees improved handling, fuel efficiency, and overall tire performance. At least once a month and before long excursions, check the pressure.

Balancing

Balancing your tires ensures an even weight distribution and helps minimize vibrations. If you notice vibrations at specific speeds, it could be a sign that your tires need to be balanced.

Alignment

Wheel alignment is essential for even tire wear and optimal handling. Misaligned wheels can cause uneven wear and a reduction in tire longevity.

Off-Road Use

Because the Yokohama Geolandar M/T G003 tires are built for off-road use, it is critical to fully clean them after off-road activities. Removing dirt, mud, and debris will help them retain traction and last longer.

Driving Habits

Avoid aggressive driving habits such as forceful braking, sharp corners, and rapid acceleration. These behaviors can cause uneven tread wear and shorten tire life.

Load capability

Be mindful of your tires’ load capability. Overloading tires can cause excessive tension and wear, limiting their lifespan and jeopardizing safety.

Storage

If you have extra tires or intend to store them, keep them in a cool, dry spot away from direct sunlight and ozone sources like electric motors and generators.

Tire replacement

Even with adequate maintenance, tires will eventually wear out. Keep an eye on your tires’ tread depth and overall condition. Replace them as soon as they reach the end of their useful life or exhibit symptoms of damage.

Mileage of Yokohama Geolandar M/T G003

Tire mileage varies greatly based on driving conditions, vehicle weight, maintenance, tire pressure, and driving behavior.

Because the Geolandar M/T G003 is an off-road mud-terrain tire designed for rough terrain and off-road performance, its mileage may be lower than that of highway or all-terrain tires. I recommend checking with Yokohama directly or researching user reviews and experiences from other drivers who have used these tires to get a more accurate estimate of the mileage you can expect from these tires. Keep in mind that mileage can vary dramatically between vehicles.

Mileage of Yokohama Geolandar MT G003

Should You Purchase Yokohama Geolandar M/T G003?

In this review, With all of the benefits listed above, the Yokohama Geolandar M/T G003 is a tire worth considering for off-road enthusiasts.

The Geolandar M/T G003 will be a worthy purchase, especially if you want your off-road tire model to have a longer service life and still give a safe ride even if the tire is cracked or fractured.

This type is one of the few options to consider if you require an off-road tire that performs well on tough terrain and on the road.

On the street, it still has several drawbacks. However, it outperforms several other mud terrain models in terms of stability and performance.

If you expect too much performance on dry roads or faultless quality on the highway, Yokohama tires will most certainly fail you.

What are the Maintenance Indicators for the Yokohama Geolandar M/T G003?

The Yokohama GEOLANDAR M/T G003 does not include proprietary wear indicators for monitoring tread depth, instead uses industry-standard TWIs.

Tread wear indicators are narrow rubber bars located 2/32 inches from the bottom of the tread grooves. As a result, the TWIs will be flush with the surface when the tread reaches that level.

A tire with a tread depth of less than 2/32 inches should be replaced promptly because it will lose traction in wet weather. However, because the Yokohama GEOLANDAR M/T G003 is an off-road tire, you should replace it sooner rather than later, as you’ll need at least 5/32 inches for acceptable off-road and snow traction.

Invest in a tread depth measure to show you how much tread is left on your tire.

What are the Maintenance Indicators for the Yokohama Geolandar MT G003

How does the Yokohama Geolandar M/T G003 perform on dry tarmac?

Driving on mud-terrain tires might be exhausting, but the GEOLANDAR M/T G003 outperforms expectations.

Sure, the overall performance falls short of that of an all-terrain tire, but it’s good for the category. For example, you won’t have any troubles with straight-line tracking, which is critical if you cover a lot of highway miles.

Furthermore, the longitudinal traction is exceptional for the category, resulting in improved braking and acceleration. Given the aggressive tread pattern with a huge void area, the lateral grip is also very strong.

The steering is unresponsive, making the overall driving feel “truckish.” Still, when purchasing a mud tire, you should be prepared for these things.

Most importantly, the Yokohama GEOLANDAR M/T G003 will not have stability concerns on the highway whether towing a large trailer or hauling heavy freight in the bed due to the strong casing and high load ratings. It’s a tire you can rely on for anything, as long as you understand the limitations of mud-terrain tires and don’t expect a spectacular driving experience.

How does the Yokohama Geolandar M/T G003 perform on wet and slick roads?

Overall, this is one of the best mud-terrain tires for rainy situations on the market right now. It won’t perform as well as an all-terrain or highway tire, but it’s the best you can get in an off-road beast.

Mud terrain tires have enormous void areas that can remove a large amount of water per second. As a result, even when driving through very deep puddles, the GEOLANDAR M/T G003 will not hydroplane.

But wet traction is more than simply hydroplaning – road contact is essential, and mud tires aren’t great at it. Despite this, the GEOLANDAR M/T G003 provides safe traction in wet conditions, with the best overall traction in the category.

Yokohama claims that its improved compound and modified sipes allow it to brake 1.29 meters shorter than the GOO1 on wet roads. And I can affirm that the braking and acceleration performance is also great. The G003 can be pushed harder in the corners than its competitors because of its excellent lateral grip.

Importantly, if you overestimate the GEOLANDAR M/T G003, it will not suddenly lose traction, giving you time to adjust.

Is the Geolandar M/T G003 by Yokohama a run flat tire?

According to this review, Unfortunately, the Yokohama GEOLANDAR M/T G003 does not have a run-flat capability. To see if a Yokohama tire has been run flat, look for the Zero Pressure System (ZPS) print on the sidewall. Regardless, the G003 features robust sidewall armor to guard against punctures, cuts, and chip damage.

Yokohama was long overdue for a new MT tire in their inventory, thanks in part to all of the innovative technology that has emerged in recent years. As a result, the new MT G003 does not disappoint. This tire’s new aggressive appearance appeals to us, and the innovative sidewall armor significantly improves puncture resistance.

Off-road, the traction on dirt, sand, gravel, rocks, and snow is more than acceptable. While it is not suitable for serious rock climbing, it performs admirably in most conditions.

For most drivers who spend the majority of their time on the road, the G003 is a significant improvement over the previous model in every way. This tire easily outperforms its predecessor, from shorter stopping distances to a more quieter ride.

Overall, it’s difficult not to be impressed with this tire.
