right now i have my 68 baja and its my daily driver. its in desperate need of new tires. i mostly tend to stay on the road but i do plan/like to go on the trails and have a little fun. i have 8 x 15 wheels in the rear and in the front i have 15 x 5.5. i dont need anything too extreme but i want it to look good and serve both onroad and off. any suggestions? pics would be great too! Thanks.

i am sure you have read the sticky above. http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=351210 a picture of your car or information on any mods (lift, stock, lowered,etc.) would help us. what size tires are you running on the rear?

I'm planning to get the Yokohama 742s for my fronts. It seems to be the only 7 x 15 that is a radial.

Its my understanding that the bias ply shouldn't be mixed with radials ( most rears) for street and highway driving.

You shouldn't mix types on an axle. Different on each end should be ok.
