I've got the stock setup with the geolanders in the basement, only about 300 miles on them. I've been wondering if it makes more sense to sell the stock almost unused tires and try to get say half the msrp for them that I can put to better tires or should I wear them out and then get new tires.
I had Geos on my Sequoia. Former owner put them on as a cheap alternative to the stock Michelin LTs. I hated them had lots of quality issues plus for the heavy Sequoia they fell appart started leaking etc.
For the money I think there are better tires out there today. Geos seem to be priced too high for what you get. The lighter cuvs type vehicles Geos might be fine. But I lost interest in them really fast. These BFG Advantage T/A Pros so far have been really good near perfect match to the OB and our somewhat rough use if it.
The Geolander G015 are nice tires, a bit heavy, loud and not as good as winter tires in snow/ice but respectable. I have had mine for about 20 000 kms and they are not showing any signs of wear. They have increased my fuel consumption a bit and are definitely louder at 100 km/h. I went with a size larger at 225 65 17 on my 2010 3.6 Outback and I like how stable the car feels both on and off road. I like the peace of mind when offroad that I got a beefier tire. Snow performance has not been as good as my Blizzak's but it is definitely respectable and with the winters getting milder here in Ontario I did not bother changing this year to the Blizzak's.
I am not sure if these tires are not overkill for my use though, as the offroad kms are probably less than 2 percent. Nokian has a tire that intrigues me - WRG3 and I might go that route with my next choice after these wear out. Just my 2 cents...
