Greg, I've run these on a couple Westys and a type II. Very good wear, not bad handling either. Off road, mud, snow, or ice, they're not too great. The highway tread design doesn't have a lot of grip off road. They are quiet on the highway though, and track well. I think I averaged about 50K per set on them. I'm using Big-O 27x850 LTs currently, because they're readily available, and no one locally (Phoenix) stocks the Yokohama's.
