Tyres again Yokohama Geolander A/T?
OK, so I have phaffed around deciding what to do for so long...


The 18" wheels I was looking at have gone out of stock and BFG's seem rarer than Elvis on red rum.


So PLAN Z.


Just change my current continentals 16" 235's for something...


I've found these, they look 'chunky' good make, good reviews and 3 peak star rating?


Anyone have them?


I can get 4 x fitted in Yokohama Geolandar A/T G015
265/70 R16 H (112


Total £582 fitted inc vat

Hi Stacey. You really want 265/75 not 70 for the standard LR fitment size. That might explain the price. Instagram: L90andy

Even better then!
No idea about the company, but price is suspiciously low though.

I just did a google street view and google reviews to check they actually exist...


Interestingly the google reviews seem much better?

Very odd?

As I tell the kids...



If something looks too good to be true then it probably is...


If I were local I would go and collect and pay after seeing them but not going to risk it. Sounds iffy... Thumbs Up

Dont do it they are a total scam! my friend ordered a set of tyres in November they strung him along with various emails saying there was a few days delay. Then gave him tracking details from Germany? They even replied when asked if there would be any import duty to pay. Then at the start of December disappeared without trace with no comms and tracking site disappeared. Had a look and Mr Ali and Mr Singh registered Trade Price Tyres as a Limited company in November. Total scum

I ran these on my 4motion T5 for a couple of years. Very good mannered tyre, nice and quiet, great grip and when called upon to get me up a snow covered hill where all else was in the ditch or sliding backwards they just got on with the job without any issues at all. I still have them in the shed. I only chenged to BFGs as I had a great NOFU deal and they do look the dogs on the van Wink
