>Tim Smith was nice enough to recommend the Yokohama Y370G D rated tires. Says that he has good luck with them on his '87 Syncro. He also mentioned that they are a 195/70/14 size. I checked with the various local tire dealers and with the Yokohama 1-800-366-TIRE (8473) number and was told that the above described tire DOES NOT EXIST! The Y370g is only available in 195/70/13 or 205/70/14. Will the 205s be too much? Harry Yates, hyates@bcit.bc.ca, mentions the Yokos Y370 LT but didn't give vitals on specific size (eg 195 vs 185 etc.) Now the dealer is trying to shove me into a Yoko Y356 tire which is "C" rated passenger tire. Is this the hassle factor that Sami D was eluding to earlier in his search of the Michellin XZX 185/70 SR 14"s? Weird, huh? Sheesh, all I want is some danged tires!!! AAARRRGGGHHHHH!!!!!
