Joel,
My suggestion is to take those tires back and get your money. Put the money
towards some tires that have the appropriate weight rating for your syncro.
It is never wise to skimp on tires or brakes... you're gambling with your
life (and your family if you have one). Is it worth a savings of $200? Or
any amount of savings?

Also... you should be buying 5 tires; not 4. The syncro must have matched
tires (size, model, tread pattern, and wear) or you will blow your viscous
coupling.

P.S. if you read the fine print I think you will find that the guarantee
will not cover the tire if it is over loaded.

Good Luck
Bill
90 Westy Syncro
