Anyone running the Geolander ATS in 315 70 17? Looks like a pretty good tire. I do realize its it's D rated. Thanks in Advance.

I ran the M/T's on my jeep, and A/T's on my old Dakota. I loved both of them, but for a bigger truck I would steer clear, they Tend to have a fairly soft sidewall, really strong, but if your towing they'll weave back and forth on you.

i had those on my last ctd and couldn't believe how good a tire it was at a rediculously cheap price. would recommend running them at max pressure, as they tend to feel a little soft during break in.

I liked the Geolanders I had on my Ferd about a year ago. Great wearing tire and price was right. I think you'll be alright.

Great wearing tire at a good price. I'm running 285/75/16 AT+II, changed the first set at just over 100,000 kms.

I had a set of Yoko Geolander AT IIs on my 2004 Dakota Quad Cab 4x4, in the 275/70R17 size. I also had the treads siped.

The tires did great in rain and wet weather. Snow they were very good also. The rubber compound seemed soft, and I bet they would not last on a larger, heavy, fullsize truck.

you would think so because of the soft feeling but not so. i traded my '02 in with about 40,000 miles on them and they still had plenty left on them.

I ran the Geolander AT II's on my last truck and I would have put a set on this truck but at the time the weren't available for 17" wheels,...Excelent tire IMHO, great on the Ice/snow, moderate dirt roads and hiway...

I had those tires on my dually. Not that exact size, but I HATED THEM. Sent back and got Toyos AT. Felt like I was riding on half-flat tires. Weaved back and forth, felt squishy.
