Hi Everyone. I wrote an email to Yokohama about the Y370 LT tires
that I rave on about for the VW vans. In response to many on the
list that have said that Y370 is no longer made, etc, this email
which I just received answers this question with little humour!
:)
Hope this info helps.
Harry.

Thank you for your interest in Yokohama Tires. We appreciate you taking
time to write to us. With regards to your inquiry:
I have received e-mails from the Corvette Owners Club, Club NS-X, the
DeLorean Owners Club, Land Cruiser Off-Road Club; heck, I got an e-mail
once from the Austin Mini Cooper Club.
I never, in my wildest dreams, thought I would hear from a group of
Vanagon owners. But, I'm happy you wrote, and pleased to hear of your
satisfaction with our Y370 tires.
Well, rest assured. The Y370s are still being sold and because they are
being offered in 16 different sizes, I can't see them being discontinued
any times soon.
As far as why they are not listed in our web site: that's a good
question. No ones actually ever written to us to ask. Actually, because
of Yokohama enthusiast tend to be speed demons who wish they drove for
our IMSA team (or whatever that series is called now), the focus has been
on our motorsports activities and performance tires. But in light of
your comments, I will suggest to our webmaster that they include the Y370
G in our next round of updates.
Thanks for your support of Yokohama Tires. We appreciate your business,
and hope our tires provide you with the strength and performance to get
you where you need to go.
P.S. I looked at your site. Very cool.
