Bruce,

I’m liking my yoko go15. Much better than the previous version .
They aren’t noisy , well, you know, not noisy enough to mention. They have worked wel on snow and logging roads.

I’m running 215/75-15

Yeah, I pay the larger circumference penalty.

But like you , I’m wanting 16” rims. I’d use the yokos again in a heartbeat.

These newer versions are much longer lasting than the previous version.
