Hello to everyone on the list,
 how is everyone's summer going?. mine has been great so far. i just got
back from Fort Riley in kansas, i was there for an Army school  for 15
days, wish i could have taken my  87 syncro but the Army wanted me to
fly.
   Anyway, my question today is i am going to put some new tires on my
syncro and i have picked the BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A's size 27x8.5 14
C RWL and i need to  know how much power loss i will have  and how much
the engine rpms will drop at hwy speeds .  i think from what is said on
the list about the T/A's this is going to be one of the better choices
in tires for my van being from the Pacific Northwest.
