Todd, if you are going to drive your Syncro, get 4 new tires. Differences in
the rolling circumference will fry the VC in no time!! Ideally, you should have
5 new tires, and rotate them evenly. Sometimes functionality is more important
than being historically correct.

Btw, I think you are lucky owning a Tristar. I'm envious.
