Tyre reviews Yokohama Geolandar CV 4S G061. Page 1 64

Excellent new-generation tires from one of the leading manufacturers.

I thought for a long time about what to put on my newly purchased XC60, so that I could drive to Ladoga and into the forest without any problems. The G061 has a tread pattern similar to that of an AT tire, with a tread depth of over 9 mm. Excellent.

According to the declared all-season technologies and properties of the rubber compound, the tire is at a very high and unattainable level for most (perhaps only Michelin, Pirelli, GoodYear, Conti, and Bridge are competitors). But the price for these tires in size 235-55-19 turned out to be adequate (70 thousand for a set).

I deliberately looked for all-season tires, as I've been driving on all-season tires (with 3PMSF) on my previous (and work) car for several years.

These tires are excellent. On the highway (St. Petersburg-Nizhny Novgorod), they are quiet, and at speeds of up to 170, they behave perfectly; 200 is also drivable, but it's already uncomfortable in the car.

I installed them at the beginning of April, and I've driven on them in snowy conditions and at -8°C, everything is perfectly predictable. I'm confident that there will be no problems with them in St. Petersburg in the winter.

In general, I highly recommend them

Before a trip from Moscow to Sochi in late autumn, I installed Yokohama CV 4S G061 in the standard size for Dargo - 235/65 R18 (2024, Philippines)
On this vehicle, I can compare it to the standard Giti Comfort F50.
Softer at 2.4 pressure, reaction to the steering wheel on dry roads, behavior on the road is about the same, definitely not worse than pure highway Chinese tires.
On wet asphalt, by all these parameters, Yoko is imba, much better than Giti.
Braking - without questions on any surface.
The size is quite narrow - it feels the rutting weakly, holds the course well.
I consider it important to note that when heating the tires to +40, the handling and braking remain excellent, the tires do not become plasticine-like. On the serpentines of the Jubga-Adler route with the speeds of local passenger cars - with a margin, there was not even a hint of squealing.
Off-road properties in deep mud could not be tested, but on wet dirt roads with steep angles - confidently and predictably, without skidding.
On the way back to Moscow in early December - a cyclone, negative temperature, snowstorm.
My respect, unpleasant moments were caused by lane changes during overtaking through large snowdrifts between lanes.
Moreover, at the moment the tires are still on the car, behaving normally in negative temperatures.
In winter on city asphalt (wet, slush, reagents) - not worse than winter tires, at near-zero temperatures, it will probably be noticeably better to steer and brake than soft friction tires.
In courtyards - on ice, as expected, so-so, few lamellas, brakes and accelerates poorly. On snow, average, does not particularly float and is good, there is nothing to paddle through deep snow - few lamellas, the tread pattern is not optimized for snow clearance, and there are no side lugs (the pattern on the outside is for beauty).
Comfort - softness is normal, considering the reinforced cord, not as hard as Chinese Giti.
Acoustics - at a speed of 80+ there is a rustling sound, quite uniform and not annoying. The sound is reminiscent of the sound of an oncoming air flow at high speeds (but not a squeal).
In summary,
The overall impression is super, suitable for travel and city in any season, except for solid winter, excellent on light off-road and dirt roads. Best on wet surfaces and in the off-season, allows you to change to winter tires later and to summer tires earlier.
P.S. There are summer tests from Tyre Rack on YouTube.
Thanks to Mosavtoshina for their promptness!

It's good for Moscow, but for Siberia, I wouldn't use it in winter. The road grip is good, I drove a lot and far in the summer, it didn't let me down. Now I'm not experiencing any problems, our winter is just enough for it. I recommend it.

The tires pleasantly surprised with their overall balance. Not too hard, but not too soft either, which makes them feel collected on the road. They handle confidently on wet surfaces, don't get nervous in ruts, and hold their course as needed. I also liked that after installation, there was no extra hassle with balancing, they fit normally and immediately provided a clear feeling of control.

I've put them on my Kodiaq and, honestly, I don't want to go back to seasonal fuss anymore. In winter, they drive normally - both in slush and on packed snow. In summer, too, without surprises. They don't make noise, don't become rigid, and maintain balance. It's just convenient: one set for the whole year

I've been driving on Geolandar G061 for about half a year, installed them from the beginning of autumn. I've long wanted all-season tires so I wouldn't have to bother with seasonal changes, and I really liked these tires, I don't regret it.

The first thing I noticed is the quietness, even on the highway it doesn't hum. In the rain, it handles great, hasn't hydroplaned even once. In turns, it's tenacious, no drifting. On snow, it's also okay, I drive without problems.

As for wear, I have no complaints so far, the tread is like new. It's a great option for city and highway driving.

Tires perform great. Rain, snow, and road grip are good. The rubber is soft, which will be a plus with a stiff suspension.

Took under the city and highway, because the weather jumps, then rain, then wet snow. On wet asphalt, braking is fine, does not hydroplane on puddles, no need to correct the steering wheel. By noise, closer to the usual summer one, on long trips it's okay. For the season, sidewalls are intact, did not catch any cuts.

I was skeptical about all-season tires because the rubber compound for summer and winter is very different. But in early December, I changed to Yokohama Geolandar, which was highly recommended by my brother. The winter was varied - snowstorms, rains, frosts. On all surfaces, there were 0 problems.

The winter was mild - there was little snow, and the temperature did not drop below -10. The tires performed well. In the summer, I drove them for only a month, but overall, I remained satisfied with the purchase, it was not money wasted.
