I'm in the market for a new job and I might be appling at a Yokohama plant around the valley because there is a friend of mine that works there. I was wondering what everyones opinion is on the Yokohama MT vs BFG MT?

 

It's a cool tire I just don't like that it's directional.

 

I like the Yoko better, I have run both of them in the past and the Yoko seems to hook up a little better and last longer. Now all of this depends on your driving style and vehicle but on my 2000 4runner they lasted and hooked up.

I have Yoko geos on my GMC and they also wear great good traction in the snow and ice. Two different animals I guess but I just like Yokos better.

 

my buddy has 37" yoko mt's on his dodge...

They look pretty damn cool =P

 

bfg have the tri ply sidewall so its a little tougher

 

I know that the BFGs have that extra sidewall protection that would be nice but it seems that the Yoko's have a nice setup as well. I have only known one person around this way have a set and they were 35x12.50s on a toyota pickup when I was in high school.

 

Ive been running the Yoko MT's for a few years now and love them. I don't like the uni-directional part of them, but I just carry a general MT for my spare.

 

i want to get them or the geolander, i believe someone just got them in a 33x12.5 not too long ago. on this site. im sure he will chime in.

 

I run yokohamas on bith my 4runners, but they are the Geolander AT(see sig), never ran BFGs but my brother does and he gets more flats than me
