kanulondon 0 Posted January 22, 2013 Hi All,So decided to ditch run flats and switch to this highly recommended tyre.But with so many variants, which one is recommended for all year use?Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted January 22, 2013 Factory fit on the XT-R is the G91A, works for me but I am down south :)Gus Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
silly sausage 161 Posted January 22, 2013 I'm with Gus, G91A's are very good as an all season tyre. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NMaria 0 Posted January 22, 2013 Another vote for the G91A. I find them absolutely excellent in the wet, in the dry, on snow and on ice.The variant with the 101 loading is made especially by Yokohama for the RAV4, so my tyre emporium owning neighbour tells me.

kanulondon 0 Posted January 22, 2013 Thanks very much for all the responses.I wasn't at all sure and was actually looking at the GO51 / G55 (For SUV's) 's and also the G012 (All Terrain)Any links for best priced UK Suppliers? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kanulondon 0 Posted January 23, 2013 Had a look and I can't seem to find the G91A's in 235/55/18, but the following link makes reference to this sizehttp://www.yokohama.co.uk/Tyres/OE-Tyres/ToyotaPlease don't make me go to Mr T to pick up these tyres!

Big Kev 513 Posted January 23, 2013 if you don't bear the same grudge as me against Bridgestone (due to Runflat debacle....), do not discount their normal tyres.....bloomin' marvellous mileage, all weather grip.....just make sure whoever sells ye them has not just coincidentally got high stocks of the Runflat symbol ones....same bloody tyre ,,,,,,that's me off again........Big Kev.

Guest Posted January 23, 2013 Kev, What is the factory fit on the SR as they are 18" not sure if they are the same size as the 180?Gus Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kanulondon 0 Posted January 23, 2013 Can't seem to find the 18's for these wheels anywhere. Oh well Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted January 23, 2013 Alex the XT-R is a 17" wheel which may explain the issue, not sure what the factory fit is on the SR which has a 18" wheel which may help.Gus Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kanulondon 0 Posted January 23, 2013 Ah thanks fella's. That would explain things then. So it's a straight up fight between these two (which are available in the 18's)http://www.yokohama..../(product)/G055http://www.yokohama..../(product)/G051Althought I just found a guy in Germany selling the 91A'shttp://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Yokohama-Geolandar-G91-A-235-55R18-99H-/181063197091?pt=UK_Cars_Tyres_RL&hash=item2a283521a3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
anchorman 276 Posted January 23, 2013 Standard fit is 18" Bridgestone duellers but standard without runflat gubbins. I can tell you that without any doubt, if runflats had been fitted I would definitely not had an SR (not putting up with that crock of ****). The SR comes with tyre slime and a pump. I personally found the Geolanders better than the Duellers for ride, noise and grip. They also last longer so no contest as far as I am concerned. I am currently alternating between winter and summer tyres with low annual mileage so it will be some time (I hope) before I need any. However, I will be seeking Geolanders based on my experience with previous 17" versions - if they are available in 18". Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SMH13 0 Posted January 24, 2013 Hi Yokohama Geolanders GO51, see below : Good afternoon Stella. Many thanks for your enquiry and sorry to hear that buying Yokohama's are such hard work. Please be re-assured that the only problem we have with this tyre is we have no stock. Demand has exceeded supply recently. The G051 is a current Yokohama 4x4 tyre. Best regards, Mark. Mark Griffin.

bigend 12 Posted January 24, 2013 can't seem to find it in 225/65/17. Keith Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kanulondon 0 Posted January 24, 2013 Thanks Stella. I ended up going with the G055 tyre, purely as it's the newer tyre and when reviewing the Yokohama UK pages it compares favorably against the G051 and it's Mud and Snow rated.I managed to get stock from Black CirclesKL Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
