No comments about the Syncro application, but I just put a set of Yokohama Geolander AT+'s on my '82 Westfalia in the LT 215/75x15 size and I have been very impressed. They clear everywhere and fill the wheelwell as if they were designed for the application. However, they just fit. The clearance to tie rods, fenderwells, brake lines is just mm. at full deflection. I would say that this the largest tire that can be fitted without cutting. The on road tracking is very good and by the seat of the pants, they appear more stable than the 27-8.50x14 's that I was running (Best 14 inch tire I ever put on this thing - at least in the last 18 years and 5 months).
