Fitment comes from each tyre's manufactured size list, and the sizes are the ones drivers reported when they reviewed. Check the size, load index and speed rating on your own doorplate before buying - a size a previous owner ran is not always the size your car left the factory on.

Yokohama Geolandar CV 4S G061 225-60-17 Subaru forester 158cv 2.0 auto 6,000 miles January 20, 2026
noise level ,reasonable low
compared to snow tire,s ,its a little glassy in the wet snow condition at first ride off ,later on the ride 10 minute,s+ more feeling is coming back,but stil
not as fine and grippe as compared to snow tire,s .(little less trust and sliding in to the "roundabout" wet snow corners on my Subaru Forester Sj )
in full snow they do fine ,as in the mud and summer conditions , at high speed 180 km/h they feel good .

The look is good ,the wear is low ,on the personal feeling the rubber is a little on the hard side of the spectrum the first 25+? kilometers in spring conditions after that the rubber feels more fine /softer.

note : not ridden the highway in full snow conditions.yet

Living nearby Gouda ,Europe.

Dry grip is excellent, can't say the same for wet. Road noise is quite noticeable.

Yokohama Geolandar G900 215-60-16-H Subaru forester 158cv 2.0 auto 50 miles October 2, 2020
i am writing this because i see a lot of negative reviews about these geolanders, and poor milage, and blaming the tyres, and not the car, or driving. on the originals, i had done klms 80,676 (miles 50,000 plus) i changed them because it was in the winter months, and i had driven more miles than expected , they would have lasted another 2000 miles at least. i am a bit of a heavy bracker. on motorways i nearly always drive at 80/85 mph. and i have driven as 100mph now and again, when road/traffic/ and weather permits. just to give it a clear out. i never had the first set rebalanced. when friends came for holidays i always increased the rear pressure by 2 pounds, and decreased when they went home. i check the pressure monthly when the tyres are cold, (at home) before any journey. my second set, i have now driven 60,000 klms, and it is not time for a change yet. and i did have this set rebalanced at 40,000 klms. not driven on snow/ice/grass/ forest trails. yes they are noisy when worn. and YES the car STOPS it it has too.----in SPAIN

Yokohama Geolandar G900 215-60-16-V Subaru forester 158cv 2.0 auto 50 miles January 17, 2014
I don't think you can edit a previous review, so this is an addition to the 06 2.0 auto forester below (in spain). I have changed the tyres today 17/1/14, at (80,767 kls)>50,186 miles. having the 2 front wheels off 3 days ago, for a look at the pads etc. I checked the tread depth. as I drive close to the kerb on roundabouts to keep a straight line. the nearside front had little on the outside 1/4. but the 3/4 of the tyre, plus the offside tyre, and the back 2, had 3 1/2 to 4mill. app 5000 more miles (I think). I have only ever done (1 ton) 100 mph, a few times, I think they stick to the road like s--t to a blanket. as I've just had another set fitted I can't say that I don't like them, cos I do. if there is any other news for these tyres i'll be back.

i drive an 06 forester auto. i have done 74000klms (45,981mls) in 7 years today (may/9/13)there is still about 4ml left on, but there is wear at the edges. ag, and the sun (live in spain)have taken there toll, there are hairline cracks in the sidewalls. time to change. i won't say i'm a hard driver, but i don't hang about either. i drive about 80% of the time without er indoors. our motorway speed limit is 120k about 75mph, i normally do 80/85mph without much noise. i have tried 160k 100mph a few times, and i must say it's not that bad. the best tyre i have ever had

Where this data comes from

Every rating on this page was submitted by a driver through the review form on this site, naming the car, the tyre, the size and the distance covered. Reviews are checked by hand before publication, and the page rebuilds automatically as new ones arrive.

About the TR Score

The Tyre Reviews Score rates each tyre out of 10 using independent test results and the full body of owner reviews, so you can check a car-specific ranking against the wider evidence.

Who does the testing

Every test published as a Tyre Reviews test is run by Jonathan Benson, who has been testing tyres independently since 2007.
