They are best described as being harsh; and I am being generous.  They wore
unevenly on a properly maintained (air pressure, shocks, alignment, etc.)
2WD.  At the hint of snow, they become useless, even on a Syncro.  As I said,
they SUCK.  I imagine the events that cause them to suck have something to do
with their being made by a Japanese concern.
