Hi All,
I have a '90 syncro. I have had a set of Yokohama
Geolandar tires I've been driving on for over a year
now. There are 3 versions that I know of, one all
terrain (A/T)& one all season type (H/T). I obviously
went for the A/T. There is also an A/T+ which is
slightly more aggressive.

They don't seem too noisy to me. Quite smooth on the
highway & great in the dirt & snow. I have 15x7 Benz
wheels, so it was easy to find'em in my size
(215-75-15), But I don't know which, if any come in
the tiny little 14" sizes ;-). They have the sidewall
protection ridges & have a C rating, not alot of flex.


Mine were somewhere around $90.00 ea.at discount tire
(www.tires.com). They are supposedly quieter than the
Goodrich all terrains & have big water channels, great
for this Northwest highway driving.

Just thought I'd throw in my 2 cents, since I haven't
ever seen the Geolandars come up here, or on the
syncro list.

Thanks,
David K
