    Im getting close to needing new tires and have
    been looking at moving up to MTs. I currently
    have the falken at3w and they have served me
    great, they have done everything I could ask for from an AT.
    But now I'm looking to get a more aggressive tire
    for more mountain adventures. The 2 tires I've
    narrowed it down to are the evolution mt and the
    geolandar g003. From the reviews I’ve seen they both seem to have good road manners in wet/snowy conditions (considering they’re MTs). The evos are lighter and cheaper which is nice and may allow me to comfortably run a 34 while keeping weight and cost relatively low but I haven’t been able to find much on sidewalk durability or treadlife. The geolandars are heavier so I would likely stay at a 33 and they are also more expensive but have been reported to have good tread life as well as a durable sidewall.
    I think either tire would suit my needs well but I would like some input from anyone who might have experience with one or both of these tires.

    I am very satisfied with the Yokohamas.

    They have surprisingly good road manners for an MT, and have been outstanding in every off-road scenario I've thrown at them.

    Tread wear has been pretty good, as I expect to get 45-50K miles out of them.

    Noise is reasonable, and it's almost soothing to me at the right speed. I might be a little weird, though. :D

    I have heard good things about the Coopers, as well.

    Sound isn’t much of an issue for me, I actually like the hum in the background lol and it helps put my kid to sleep too.
    Sounds like the Geolandars are the way to go, but if the Evos get close to the same tread life I might give them a shot considering they’re quite a bit cheaper.
