Subject: Yokohama Tires RevisitedDear Syncronauts,
       I spent over an hour  reading thru the archives
about Syncro tires, and frankly, I'm more confused
than the last time I had to get tires and did a
similar search.  This time there were several
complaints about the yokos, which I had
previouslynothing but complements....
       I'd love to hear from any of you about your
experiences with the Yokos and any others that
youlike.  Thanks,  Peter

Hi All-
To respond, I'd like to say that I have a 1990 Syncro
non-westie. On it I have Yokohama Geolandar A/T's in a
215-75-15. They are "C" rated & have a very aggressive
tread that seem quiet on road. I have had'em for about
2 years & love 'em. They added a nice 1.5" to my
ground clearance & fill out the wheel wells nicely.

I see postings about other Yokos occasionally, but
never see mention of the Geolandar series. They have 2
other, more aggressive versions & one that is more of
an all season road tire more suited to the 2wd vans
out there. Here is Tire Rack's page for mine:

http://www.tirerack.com/tires/yokohama/yo_geolanderat.jsp

No problems with clearance anywhere, although I'm not
sure what a different offset would do. My wheels are
et25, but I have plenty of room all around. I bought
mine at Discount tire & they were about $80 each if I
remember correctly. I will try to get some photos of
my wheel & tire setup to have posted on the
vanagon.com wheel/tire page since nobody else seems to
have either of mine.

Thanks,

David K
