They were what the previous owner of my Westy Syncro had mounted on the alloy rims. Good enough (he had them inflated to a preposterous 48 psi which I reduced to 40 psi as soon as I drove it.) I had no problems with them. I've just replaced the wheels with 15" wheels and put 215/75R15's on (same tire just a different size).
