How much tyre pressure do you normally put ? With this hot weather maybe it got too high ?

Normal at 35 psi .. I cannot deny .. I saw some sort of debris on the road at the time and I ran on it and then this happened

Hey @J J thank God you are fine . How many kms done on these tyres?

You should take them back to the place where you got it fitted from I assume there was a warranty on these.

Yokohama Geolandar A/T G015

The Yokohoma’s Geolandar line-up is the most reliable and adaptable all-terrain line-up of the tyre, and its newest addition is Yokohama Geolandar A/T G015. The G015 was manufacture to supplant the first AT-S that is at present a top-rated model in its very own right, the new G015 is made to up the overall performance in a few key zones.

Yokohama Geolandar A/T G015 utilizes an intense Enduro all-season tread design that incorporates orange oil and one of a kind cutting edge polymers that are intended to convey expanded footing on rough terrain, as well as have a longer enduring treadwear.

This model is intended to give you a more lovely driving experience than you may suspect. Triple 3-D sipes prompt expanded footing on wet or snowy roadways. Yokohama engineers made these sipes to change their shape as the tyre starts wearing out so as to keep on boosting footing and safety.

This new model handles ice surprisingly better than the more seasoned AT-S. Actually, Yokohama expresses that snow braking and overall handling of the vehicle on the snow is improved over 25% in comparison to A/T-S. [Still waiting for opportunities to take advantage of this here in UAE!]

Yokohama Geolandar A/T-S G012

The Geolandar A/T-S G012 is entirely developed for splendid off-road experience thus giving the amazing off-road ability to 4X4. This tyre is truly a competent rough terrain tyre for regular driving.

The Geolandar A/T-S gives great off-road experience without prompting excessive noise or discomfort. 

Pros and cons

Here are some of the key pros and cons of both of the tyres:

Yokohama Geolandar A/T G015

• Amazing footing on both on and off-road
• Better performance in winter conditions
• Prompts well-mannered highway driving
• Longer enduring tread life
• Is not an ideal tyre for seriously muddy conditions

Yokohama Geolandar A/T-S G012

• Responsive Steering
• Amazing off-road traction & durability
• Longer lifespan of the tread
• Amazing comfort level
• Cornering while at high speed can be a bit soft

So maybe the differences are very slight and I should just go for the A/T instead? 

This is what i am confused of since last few days.

I was planning to change my super good onroad tyre Michelin Primacy SUV to an All-terrain one. 

The options which i had was:

1. Geolandar G012 AT-S
2. Cooper Discoverer AT3
3. Kumo Roadventure AT51
4. Dunlop Grandtrek  AT22

Finally decided to go for The Geolandar G012, Found G012 AT-S Japan (2019) & G015 Thailand (2020) in Sharjah for almost same price and the shop guys are saying go for G015 as G012 is discontinued, it will be difficult later if a spare one is required. 

Any difference between Thailand & Japan made 

Now the confusion is between these two
