September 29, 2022 / Andy Lilienthal / 1 Comment
Subaru Crosstrek on Reika Seeker wheels and BFGoodrich KO2 tires

I’m a hopeless wheel and tire junkie. I absolutely love what a great set of wheels and tires can do to a car’s appearance. And, of course, we knew our Crosstrek would end up with a good set of rollers and shoes. Before making our selection, I did a bunch of research on which way…

Winter Road Trip Road Test: Toyo Celsius All-Weather Tires

Toyo Celsius All-Weather Tires

As you know, we recently got a 1998 Honda CR-V. In fact, we drove it from Oregon to Wisconsin and back and only broke down once. (That’s a story for another time.) Before leaving for the frozen midwestern tundra, we put some all-weather Toyo Celsius tires on. No, not all-season, all-weather. If you’re not familiar,…

Mitsubishi Pajero at 2020 Alcan 5000 Winter Rally

In March we competed in the 2020 Alcan 5000 Winter Rally. We drove our 1991 Mitsubishi Pajero, aka, the Terra Tractor, from Kirkland, Washington up to Tuktoyaktuk, Northwest Territories, and finished in Anchorage, Alaska. It was an amazing experience to put it lightly. The event’s tire sponsor, Nitto, put together this awesome video showcasing the…

Yokohama Geolandar G015 tires on Mitsubishi Delica

Words by Andy Lilienthal. Photos by Andy and Mercedes Lilienthal Admittedly, when I get the opportunity to get new tires on any of our vehicles, I get excited to see how they’ll perform. This holds especially true with tires that I’ll take off road because there are so many performance variables. It’s not just wet/dry…

Yokohama Geolandar M/T+ in the snow

During Portland Snopocalypse 2017, I’ve been driving The PDXJ (project 2001 Jeep Cherokee) quite a bit; it’s been pretty much unstoppable in the snow. Then again, vehicle is only as good as its tires. I must say, I’ve been very impressed with our Yokohama Geolandar M/T+ tires during this snowy mess.

Review: Yokohama Geolandar MT+ Tires

Yokohama Geolandar MT+ review

I’ll make no apologies: I like Yokohama tires. I first had  Yokohamas back in 2006 when I got a set of 205/50/16 AVS ES100 tires for my Scion xB . A couple years later, I shod my Toyota Yaris’ wheels with 195/55/15 S-Drives. In fact, I just replaced them last month with the same tires. So when…

LIfted Dinoot

Our Dinoot J-Series trailer just got new rolling stock. I mean, I just got done with putting them on. Previously, we had 235/75/15 (29″) Kumho mud terrain tires that matched our Suzuki Sidekick. However, since this is now going to be towed behind Cranky the Cherokee, it needed matching shoes.
