Well I just installed a set of B.F.G's on my 1986 Syncro. It's my
  xmas gift to my Syncro! Isn't plastic great. GOt them at NTB,
  (national tire and battery, formerly Tire America), they matched
  the price a magazine add that the tire rack had. $80.36 + tax.

   Tire report- quiet, very quiet at all speeds except 10 mph, so who
   cares. Snow traction, (we got 4", the night I put them on) I would
   say average to good for an all terrain. Road handling is my
   only complaint. Ride is real smooth and good confort, but don't
   try any high speed stunts. Over 60 mph they are all over the road.
   Of coarse I have to give them a chance to were in a bit. Any Synco
   owner who don't do any 70mph runs should consider these highly!.
   I mounted them on the stock 5 1/2" wide rims. A wider rim maybe
   the key, to better high speed handling. After considering a 15"
   rim change , this tire mades me  recomend against it.
