We're meeting up with Dave, who has been testing Yokohama Geolandar AT G015 tyres for a long term tyre review. Dave has driven the Yokohama AT G015 tyres for over 20.000k's on the road, gravel and in the mud. In this video we're going to put him on our local 4x4 track to find out what he thinks of the @YokohamaMotorsports tyres.

- G'day, Jared from Tyre Review here. Today I'm sitting in the car with Dave. And Dave has been testing the Yokohama G015, all terrain tyres for about the last 20,000 Ks. These tyres are actually ones that we gave to Dave after our trip to the sand last year. So you might remember some of those videos that we did which we might be able to pop up here and tags. But Dave you've had them for 20,000 Ks now. In general, how have the Yokohama's been?

- They've been quite impressive actually. They're exceptionally good on the highway and good in the wet. and I've been quite surprised on the gravel roads that they've been absolutely fantastic. They come in I think it is a 70% on road 30% off road sort of tyre. So yeah, they've been really good in that regard.

- Of course so I'm thinking about on the road, start off with in the wet. You've got a dual cab you. Do you notice that they slip and slide a bit around the roundabout and that sort of stuff in the wet?

- Not so much. They've been a really, really good tyre in that regard. I carry a toolbox with some recovery gear in the back. I did notice once I had that out and after a dry period it did rain. A bit of grease on the road, I did lose a bit of traction. But overall, they've been a really good tyre. I think if you had a canopy on the back and had a bit of extra weight continuously, you wouldn't have any issues with it.

- Yeah. And just for reference, these are 265/70R17s you've got on the Hilux?

- Yeah, that's right. They're a 265/70R17s.

- Yeah. Awesome so and then you mentioned earlier that you tow a few bit so how do I do with towing?

- Yes I towed a up to two tonne trailer, tandem trailer and also a camper trailer. So in between it took the both of those and they rate it up to two tonne, have been exceptionally good in that regard, especially again on gravel roads, on wet roads, highway and so forth.

- Yeah, yeah.

- I do a lot of towing through Central Highlands of Tasmania have been through snow and pretty average gravel conditions. And they've been really really good.

- Yeah we went Dave came with us on that snow trip we did last year, as well, that was fantastic. What about on the gravel when you don't have a camper on? How do you find them on the gravel?

- Really good. Every now and again with other tyres you do feel your vehicle especially vehicle it's light in the rear with these dual cab Hilux that just dips out a little bit you don't notice it too much with this tyres.

- Yap

- They've been very reliable and confident

- Yap.

- Tyre on in gravel conditions.

- So I've got a challenge for you now we're actually sitting at the trial head of a fairly difficult trial. Okay, you to drive through while you talk me through how they're doing the mark. So we're just about to try this dirty bit, let's see how we go Dave.

- Alright I've just got it at a in high four at this stage--

- Yap, so--

- So we can actually put it in light to control a bit of the slide. So this is our local little test track, which has a good array of interesting parts. But this is Dave's first time on the track so--

- First time. Yep.

- Yep.

- Off you go though.

- Alright. So, how do you find them? On this sort of like we're going through a bit of a bogey pile at the moment? Do they sort of feel or are they? How do they go?

- I felt like just before I mind you, I was just using compression from the vehicle to sort of control that a little bit down that descent. A little bit of sliding there.

- Yep.

- It should be fun coming back out if we come back the same way. We are.

- I think--

- There we go then.

- Yeah, lets see if we get lost. We're just about to go up a muddy slope after a little creek crossing. It's beautiful in here. Let's see how we go on this next little crossing.

- Roger.

- Not a crossing sorry. Next little hill.

- Yeah.

- So again looks pretty slippery so we'll see how we go--

- Its been raining--

- It's gonna be bumpy.

- It's been riding downhill that's a hole. I don't think that hole was here last time.
