Greg, I have the BFGs on my van, and have been very happy with them. Only been stuck twice, heh, heh! They're quieter than then old tires I had, wintermark 215/70 R (I think). I can't really compare them to other tires, but they've treated me well on a lot of pretty rough roads, especially when you drop the pressure a bit. Plus they look great!

Cheers, Jeff http://personal.riverusers.com/~kennedy

I need to replace the tires on my Westy and wanted to get the lists opinions on which tire is the best out of either the 195/75R14 Yokohama Y370 with a D load range and the 27X8.5QR14 BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO's with a C load range. Can any list members who have experience with either tire give me, in their opinion, the good and the bad points. Also, if anyone has used both tires, which do you think is the better tire. I plan on using my Westy for camping and fly fishing in the National Forest's and State and National Parks in WA, OR, and maybe some camping up in Canada.
