It meets the load spec. Ok, but I have heard that being a hiway rib makes them no good for anything but pavement.
There is constantly chatter about bus tires on the Type 2 list, the only bad reports on the Y356 I have heard are related to this.
Reports of people being stuck on wet grass were all I needed to hear to steer me toward the Hankook RA08.
I run Yokohama's on the Mazda and really like them.
I don't know if anyone on this list is running the Y356's (If your out there, sound off)
I know several of us run the RA08, and like them.


Have you read these?:

I would call around to local tire guy's and see if they can get them for you cheaper than Bus Depot.
Don't forget shipping and mounting and balancing if you mail order. I think a local guy should be able to make the $4.00 per tire difference in price.
