I'm Switching From BFGs to Yokohamas on My Can-Am X3 UTV, It's Gonna Be Interesting

It's not often that a tire manufacturer enters a new market these days. Pretty much each one has its niche or already has a tire for every machine out there. But every so often, a new player enters the fray and does so with such zeal you have to stand up and take notice. 

Enter Yokohama's Geolander M/T G003 SxS tire. 

But more than just a new side-by-side tire on the market, and bringing with it the normal new market expectations, I'm switching my Can-Am's BFGoodrich KM3 tires, the go-to tire for nearly every side-by-side on the market for go-fast shenanigans, as well as rock crawling and more, to the Yokos. That means they have to compete against the best in the business. They have to compete against the tires that helped me get further into the backcountry than ever before. They have to compete against the tires that helped me find hunting success. 

That's a tall order. 

Yet, when they arrived at my house, and I stacked the Geolander M/Ts up against the BFGs, well, there might be a new big dawg in town. At least just based on looking at the Yokohamas sitting idly against the BFGs. But let's talk about the details of these new tires and see if there's a little more than just me being beguiled by the new-new.
