My Yokohamas did not last long for my '84 Westy.  Tried them aout 8 years
ago and regretted not getting the Michelins.  Got a lot of side edge wear
and they seemed narrow.

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...

the list and the archives, all the
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?
