Anyone run a 205/90/15 on their off-road cars? It's a replacement for the 7.00-15 I was told.

That's a special trailer tire, It's construction and tread design won't let it work out to well on a road car, or buggy for that matter

They are going on a Volksrod that will be AWD.

I wouldn't chance it. They don't have the directional stability of a normal car tire

Trailer tires do not work on a vehicle, they are meant for trailers. As said, they don't have the directional stability meaning the way the belts are designed they do not take kindly to being used as steering tires and the belts flex and fold under and as for drive wheels, they will flex like a drag slick (and not in a good way) if any torque is put through them. They are designed to work running parallel to the road and no power going through them.

Nice. A bit pricey, but most Yoko's are. Being meant for heavier vehicles they should last forever.

I loved my last set of Yokos. Lasted forever on my little 4x4 and were pretty sticky. Dang I miss that truck!
