Got the new Geolandar M/T +'s (PICS)
I've only had the new meats (305/70/R16's) on for a day so I can't give them a full review, but so far I love em.
I've had MT/R's in the past so it's great to have mud tires once again. The big difference with these is they are balanced (couldn't get MT/R's to balance for crap)
I can't wait to take these puppies offroad.

Buy a locker and pass on the designer tires. If it's rubber and round it will roll.

Nice. 305s... that's a 33x12, right, or is it a 35? They look good - I've looked at them before, but was concerned about the lateral traction from a directional tire. Can't wait to hear how they work for ya.

Like here:
(thanks for the pics Jackson)
Jackson made it up this slick incline with his Firestone Destination M/T's and some more momentum.
The guy who unsuccessfully attempted this before me, had a tacoma with a rear locker. Again, momentum was a huge factor because a chick driving a stock Rubicon couldn't make it either.
Back to the Yoko's, I just drove 52 miles into work today on the highway, and they ride very smooth. Next test will be wet traction. I have uni-directionals on my car which are very good in the rain, so I'm expecting to be satisfied based on that and what I've read from other Yoko M/T owner's reviews.
Thanks for the compliments.

I know the Geo ATs were very good in the rain and much better overall when compared to the BFG ATs on the street and over $70 a tire cheaper. I like the Yok M/Ts but they seem a bit much for a daily driver but they do look cool.

Oh yeah,if my Runner wasn't my DD I definetly get something that leans toward off roading more but for now I need a good all around tire and my choices were either the Geo AT+II or the Nitto TerraGrapplers and it's looking like the Nittos will be my next tire. I like the Revos but everybody has 'em already and I want to be different.
