Have these ordered and on there way as recommended by some of the guys on here 225 70 15 Yokohama 354, (quote winter rated all year tyre almost as good as an AT and excellent on road) I can't run Goodrich AT as there not a van tyre and will fail the MOT here in Northern Ireland.

215 75 15 BFG ATs on these Audi rims from early 90s Audi 100 / 200.

Before anyone comments - I have longer studs on now. Its turned out that the vendor had some weird ideas about what constituted a "fully restored" Syncro - but hey, we live and learn.

To get back on topic, I've been impressed with the BFG ATs. When the VC failed open in the Picos we still managed to get just about everywhere that the others did just using the rear locker.

Thinking about the AT2s in this size, for our van, but a lot of places don't stock them that size. Where did you get yours from?
