I've had them on my 91 Syncro for several years and wouldn't trade them for anything! However my van has been slightly lifted and that may be necessary for wheel well clearance.

<p>I love mine (91 syncro westfalia). They aren't noticably noisier at highway speeds than other tires. And they are great on mud,sand,wet grass (festivals!) and snow. Had them on 2 years and 30000 miles so far. I have larger wheels than is standard (from GoWesty). I doubt that I will ever buy anything else.</p>

<p>I have seen alot of Syncro you tube videos that show clear pictures of the BFGs on many Syncros. Apparently they are very popular with the Vanagon crowd.</p>

<p>I have always liked the all terrain tire look. The unfortunate thing is that cool functional 14" tires are getting fewer and farther between. I figured that I should get the 14" ers that I like now with the prospect that I may not be able to get them a year from now, save a few bucks in the interuim instead of buying 15" wheels and tires at the same time.</p>

<p>By the way, you can tell by looking the lack of sidewall flex by looking. The "D" rating of the stiffer sidewall is very noticable.</p>

<p>I have been running 235/75-LT 15's for over two years now. I have not noticed any "problems", I just haven't calculated my speedo difference yet, I just go with the flow. I can also pass on the freeway now, it's amazing what an extra 3"-4" diameter will do for the top speed of an '86 Syncro. So, the extra weight only affects my takeoff speed, slightly. Once I am rolling, the extra weight isn't that noticeable.<br></br><br></br><cite>Kirk said:</cite></p>
