Hey Stan,

The Yoko Geolander AT/S tires have worked well on one of our Syncro
Tristars.  It is a good compromise between on and off road.

We're running 17's, but I doubt there's much difference between the 2.

Cheers,

Jeff

I would appreciate some input on tires.   I have a 90 westy  ( non syncro )
that currently has Michelin Defender tires 215/65/16.    I am looking for
something a little tougher, that would hold up on dirt, forest service type
roads - no off roading, just rugged, rocky roads.   The General AT2 and the
BF Goodrich  All Terrain are a little too rugged.  The Yokohama Geolander
AT/S seems like my current best choice, but is there anything even a little
less rugged than that, but still tougher than the Michelins??

Thanks
