i have always been extremely pleased with every yokohama tire i have  ever owned, regardless of the vehicle, and always try to find them  first, worth a little extra money as is often the case in ri compared  to other brands...with that in mind, when my 84 westy needs new ones i  am going to go with the yokies...never had any dryrot or other issues  like i have had with michelines...

various failing points have been resolved, and today we found out that
it "passed, pending new tires" due to dryrot. I have the stock 14''
wheels, and am looking to buy either the Yokohama Y356 or the
Continental Vanco 8 's from TireRack. Costwise, they're very similar
and they both have similar specs. Reviews of both seem to indicate
they're bad in the snow.....ok. So, which do people use? 185/OR14 D or
195/75R14D?

Anyone have a strong preferance?
