I have these tires on two of my Vanagons.  I love them!  They ride well,
seem to be wearing well (about two years on one set) and were reasonably
priced.  Just to give a comparison I bought one set for a daily driver
then at the same time I bought a set of Vredestine Comtracs for my
Westy.  The Yoko 356 tires look like something you would find on a golf
cart.  Very narrow and plain jane.  The Comtracs were very pretty and
beefy looking.  Plus they were decently expensive.  However handling and
wet characteristics there is no comparison.  The Vstine tires stunk to
high heaven!  Just a small amount of wetness on the road and they would
spin out when leaving from a stop.  Forget about driving in the snow!
The Yokos do well in both.
So for a reasonably priced tire that is good all around go for these
Yokohama 356 super van tires.  I highly recommend them.

Just my opinion.

Thanks,
