Hi Todd, Although they are a bit taller than the old Yokahoma Y356 tires (25.7" vs 27.9"), I've been happy with the Yokahoma Geolander A/T 215/75/15 C rated tires. The tires handle great (even my wife commented on them), the load rating is good and they fit on my '87 just fine with the 15" mercedes ASA 8 wheels from Gowesty. They are ~740 rotations/mile. Old tires were somewhere around 800. While a bit slower accelerating, it's not unbearable. Places where I was barely able to maintain 4th gear on hills now put me in 3rd gear. Road noise is very good for an AT tire - better than the old "summer highway tread" tires, which as one would expect were terrible in the snow. I was shooting for something a little smaller, but after driving on the tires, it's not an unreasonable size. Price was somewhere around $115/tire.
