I like the yokohama geolandar mt g003 better than the Goodyear Kevlar MTRs. They ride better on the street, they are quieter, the sidewall is softer, they seem to last longer (TBD), they chunk less. Regarding off-roading, 4wheeling, they are about the same. The Goodyears do good at around 11 psi, the Yokohamas seem to like a little more - around 13 psi. Rotate them every 5K miles or less if you want them to last.
Copy that. I have about 20k on my current Yok MTs and just hitting 50-ish percent tread, which is why I bought them again. Have not run the MTRs yet.

Thanks again all. Will post up when I get these things installed.?

The MTRs are a little lighter. I think I noticed a little difference in acceleration when I first put on the Yokos, but, my MTRs were worn out, so, they were even lighter than when they were new.

Thanks again for everyone who chimed in, appreciate it!
What color are those? They look really good! I originally was looking at bronze but I kinda like this color.

Platinum. It's kind of Shade shifting. depending on what's around it sometimes it looks a little darker and sometimes a little lighter.

I have the 701's (17x9 -12MM) and had set of Yokohama Geloander X-AT's mounted up (35x12.5). Not sure how difficult it was for them, but the local shop who mounted them never said a peep about them being problematic to get mounted or balanced. I have about 2500 miles (Not very much I know) but no issues with balance, air, etc. Great wheels/tires so far.
Any chance you have a side shot of the rig with the -12 701’s? Or a guess at what your tire poke is with that set up?

Just got my MR705's in 0mm offset installed wrapped with 37 inch BFG Ko2s. I'm happy that my RokBlokz mud flaps still cover most of the tire. Couldn't be happier with the look! I do rub when turning full lock to the right. I think the front end sag from the Winch is what's causing that, bought some 1 inch front spacers to see if that helps.

The flat black (Satin) is easy to match and I have touched up the paint on all 4 of mine many times. In this pic, this 703 has been touched up with black at least half a dozen to a dozen times. I guess you could match the paint color with other colors, but, black is easy. Same thing with those RSE steps, I have touched them up with black paint many times...
Do you recall which paint brand you used For touch-ups? Thanks.
