Default Yokohama Geolandar A/T G015 Reviews?

I am researching new tires and limited in size. I would like to get an inch in height (not more) so I am limited to the following:

Stock: Goodyear Wrangler Adventure 31.9" 275/55R20

LT275/60R20 (a little narrow, but a lot of options) - 33", 1" height
LT285/55R20 Yokohama Geolandar G015 - 32.6" 0.7" height / 0.4" width
NOTE: The Yokohama is 0.3" bigger than any other brands same size tire per the tire specifications and a call to customer service confirmed the measurement.
LT295/55R20 Open Country A/T II Extreme - 32.8" height / 0.79" width

I think the BFGoodrich KO2 is a little too aggressive. I ran this tire on my Toyota Tundra and it had some road noise, but a great tire. It is my understanding that the Open Country A/T has more noise and heavier than the Yokohama, but looking for some feedback on Yokohama performance. The Yokohama is rated #2 just below the BFGoodrich KO2 on TireRack for A/T tires and $100 cheaper per tire than the Open Country.

While I am leaning toward Yokohama, a few real life reviews from a F150 owner is preferred over the random vehicles showing up on TireRack. My tire size preference is LT295/55R20; however, Open Country A/T is the only option in that size. The rarity in size tells me a flat could be problematic in getting a quick replacement. The Yokohama LT285/55R20 is of interest TireRack reviews seem good and the size is 0.3" larger than any other comparable manufacturer.

I don't have it yet, but I am looking really hard at it. For me it comes down to the Yokohama or the Cooper AT3. Here is the only review I have found that doesn't look too biased or unsubstantiated.

I'm buying the Yoko G015 E rated. I used to have the Yoko HT tires. They were by far the best tire I've had in 20 years of truck ownership and they went with my old truck when I sold it. I've been on the factory Wrangler SRA tires for 3 years and looking forward to getting the Yokohamas again..

Same here with Yokohamas. I'm leaning towards the G015 to replace the Goodyear HT's that came stock on my truck.

I will be the first guinea pig. A $60 rebate starts tomorrow for the G015, so I will place my order in the morning from Discount Tire. $215 per tire with rebate on LT285/55R20

Yokohama has a 30 day satisfaction guarantee, so I suppose if you hate them you could swap over to something else. Let us know how you like them.

I got mine today. 275/65/R18 E1 Rated 10 ply. I love the stiffer ride so far and they are slightly louder than the Wrangler SRA tires from the factory but not that noticeable.

I forgot to add, that size was $193 per tire before mounting and rebuild of TMPS, etc. I do get the $60 rebate on set of 4 and $50 rebate for using Discount Tire's credit.

Any pics of the tires on the truck, showing the whole truck? Keep the updates coming, I hope to pull the trigger on a set within a few weeks.

I ordered LT285/55R20 today. I measured the road noise in my cab at 63 dB with radio and ventilation off and dry pavement unning Goodyear Wrangler Adventure.. Speed 55 mph on a local 4 lane road. I will check after the install for any change.

$230 per tire before $110 in rebates.
