I have 185/70-15 Yokohama A321's on my BJ8, and I cannot count the number of comments and inquiries I received at Conclave about them. "Whata we gonna do?" tire conversations were common at Conclave.

I run 185/70/15 Yoko A321 also. Mine will have to replaced just about the same time as yours. I definitely would buy another set. Ticks me off as they still look new. Randy '66 BJ8 -- Vintage Sports

Randall and John, I too run the A321 on my BN7 and these tires are 6 years old. Great tire. Very good wet and dry traction, nice look, good wear behavior. However, these are approx equal in diameter

I'm still wrestling with this 5 or 10 year tire limitation. What exactly happens to the tires and what exactly causes it? Does it apply if the tires have been stored inside and not exposed to sunligh

This is from memory, but a few years back "they" came out with a recommendation that tires be replaced every five years or so regardless of mileage. What I heard or read is that that was a standard b

Hi Terry, There is little doubt that the tire aging process starts as soon as they are manufactured & is "the start of a clock". Tread hardening, & tread separation are the most common problems assoc
