I compared them, and Yokohama Geolander rates lower, and a lot lower in
snow traction. There was not a single category that the Geolander rated
better.
  Oh, BTW, I had commented on the Bridgestone Dueler H/T, and suggested
to get the newest style with the UNI-T AQ construction. This tire is
called the Dueler H/L. Pardon my mistake.
