Well, funny you should mention this. I'm running Yokohama 388 on my
stock wheels on my '86 5000s wagon. I plus sized them from a 185/70-14
to a 215/60-14. This ends up being within 2% size wise. They are 91H speed
rated. Who knows that that means? They do have a nice temp/traction/tread
rating of 240AA. Improved the handling a lot. Of course with the larger
footprint they are just great for dry weather and that's just how it is here
in Boise. Maybe 7 inches of rain this last 12 months.
