Greg,

I've run these on a couple Westys and a type II. Very good wear,
not bad handling either. Off road, mud, snow, or ice, they're not
too great. The highway tread design doesn't have a lot of grip off
road. They are quiet on the highway though, and track well. I think
I averaged about 50K per set on them. I'm using Big-O 27x850 LTs
currently, because they're readily available, and no one locally
(Phoenix) stocks the Yokohama's.
