Joe,

When I bought my 1989 Carat there was a set of the Yoko's on there, and
I agree with George, they SUCKED. Traction on anything other than dry
pavement sucked, and even on dry pavement they still did not instill
confidence. They were wearing fast too. 

I was able to get a hold of a set of Bridgestone Dueler A/T's when
Bridgestone was giving $50 off a set of 4, so I got a great set of tires
for less than $300 installed. I got them in 195/75r14, they are also
load range C, and man I LOVE them. I have yet to take them into the
snow, but from what I read they should do just fine. More tread patch on
the road too, and they just ride much better. Maybe a little louder than
the Yoko's, but I don't mind, they are much better built tires.

Do yourself a favor, got buy a set of Duelers today. I also have a set
of the Dueler A/T Revo's on my Ford Explorer, 235/75r15, talk about a
great tire, I will never buy anything less, they KICK BUTT on all types
of roads, snow, mud, rain, they just really do very well in all
conditions. If they made them in 14" sizes I would have gone with the
Revo.
