We had Yoko Y370 LT tires on our Westy since '97 and just changed them. As we couldn't get the same tire we went to the Michelin MXTs. I think the Yoko has a stiffer feel, maybe a little harder ride but it is a great tire. The tread design is more aggressive than the Michelin so therefore I think better in snow. You will hear them more than the Michelins but it's a good trade off. They are both very good tires and I think it depends a lot on your style of driving. If I were doing mostly straight high speed highway driving I would go with the Michelins but for country roads and more challenging road surfaces (we live in the pot-hole capitol of the east) I prefer the Yokos. If Sears says they can get you this tire make sure to check the manufacturer's date on the tire before mounting them, you don't want a tire that has been sitting in some warehouse for four years. We got ours from Sears too, long after they were supposed to be hard to find. I called Yoko's customer Service Center to find out where I could get them they gave me three names, Sears was the closest but I paid a LOT more for them than that 3 years ago. Either way, both good tires, you can't go wrong. Wendy '85 Westfalia "S-Cape" '98 Passat "The Doo Dah Machine"
