Need help and feedback, planning to buy Yokohama Geolandar H/T-S

[ZENMasterTYL]

yep, i was referring to your stock tires

actually, Geolandars are best for off roads, having said that, your ride becomes rougher and stiffer compared with P-rated tires. SUV suspensions are designed and better equipped to handle those types of ride conditions compared to AUVs (like revo and innova).

at least as a consolation, with geolandars you get a more puncture resistant tire and handle towing heavy loads

Thanks Sir ZENMaster for your inputs, now I understand better. After gathering all I've learned so far, here are the two tires in question and my reasons to get them:

Yokohama A-drive (215/55R16)
- Better ride quality for paved roads to compensate for AUV's rough and stiff suspensions
- Better grip on paved roads compared to truck tires
- Less tire and road noise
- Lower rolling resistance
- Same type as my AUV stock tires

Yokohama Geolandar H/T-S (215/60R16)
- Even if I'll only be using my AUV for paved roads, puncture resistance is always a plus especially for Philippine roads
- Even if I don't use my AUV to haul heavy stuff, there is such option open just in case without any worries
- This variant (H/T-S) is specifically made for on-road use and maximize on-road ride comfort
- Better tire in cornering, less sidewall flex, to compensate AUV's high center of gravity and also less squeal
- More aggressive treads look better
- I don't mind tire and road noise at all

if you're in my place, which would you choose?

^Go for the Geolandars.

Go for the cheapest one, as long as it will serve your needs, hinde ka naman mag race that you need special features that will help you win ng more expensive tires.

Papareho Lang yan. Stock tires nga nabuhuhay ng 3 years eh

Thanks so much guys, I'm now more confident in my coming purchase!

If you are choosing Yokohama, go to Yokohama Service Centers near you. You'll get huge discount plus you'll get the fresh batch. I always buy my tires from Yokohama Service Center in Commonwealth and I always gets the fresh batch and huge discount.

Bro if it's not late, BStone may promo afaik. Might want to check on it. Quality is on par with Yokohama naman.

Just my 2 cents.

Thanks Mile2, good thing you gave me a heads up, I almost forgot we have yokohama tire centers around, I was almost ready to get the set from Banawe.

You're right Ry_Tower, Bridgestone Duelers are good, my parents have an Isuzu Alterra with Dueler H/T as stock, there are pretty good. My only concerns are, first, Duelers cost a bit more, second, the tire size I'm eyeing for is 215/60R16, which Duelers and Latitudes do not have available sizes of, hehehe.
