When the going gets rough off-road with deep mud, rocks, roots, and tough obstacles, you need a tire that doesn’t just deliver unstoppable traction but is also durable enough to hold up to punishment. The Geolandar X-MT is at the top of the heap of Yokohama’s off-road-oriented Geolandar line and is ready for the toughest rigors of off-road utility without giving up day-to-day practicality on the pavement.

Features and Benefits

Like you might guess, the X in “X-MT” stands for Extreme, and that’s what the Geolandar X-MT is designed for. Here are just a few of the design features that make the Geolandar X-MT such a standout:

• Pincer-like side blocks for extra biting edges to enhance lateral traction in ruts or over rocks and obstacles.
• Staggered-pair tread block design with an extra-deep 21/32” tread depth that protects the casing from punctures, delivers great traction in soft soil or mud and provides long wear.
• Stone ejectors built into tread grooves to protect the casing from rocks, stones, twigs, and other damage
• High void ratio, meaning plenty of open space between tread blocks and lugs for good cleanout of mud and debris as the tire spins
• Durable, high-density triple-polymer tread compound for extra damage resistance
• Computer-tuned tread pitch to cancel out noise for a surprisingly quiet ride on pavement
• Multiple sidewall plies for extra durability against punctures and a higher load carrying capacity
• High turnup carcass with steel belts, full-width spiral-wound nylon cap layer that further increases strength
• Wide range of sizes for various fitments, 17” to 20”

Pros and Cons

PROS:

• Extremely durable construction
• Capable of aired-down performance as low as 9-12 psi for rock crawling
• Easily sheds mud and debris as the tire turns so there’s always a clear section of tire to dig in
• Tenacious traction in mud, sand, gravel, loose dirt, rocks, and other off-road obstacles
• Looks great on a variety of trucks, especially those with extra ground clearance

CONS:

• Not M+S rated, but performs well in snow and slush
• Tread pattern is quieter than most mud-terrain tires, but can be noisy on some pavement surfaces
• Workmanship warranty, but no limited manufacturer tread life warranty
