On a recent truck scale, my relatively empty 90 GL weighed in at 4200#. I'd venture to say the Westy weighs more than that. I'm also curious about the lack of reinforced on the Agilis. I'm not making the "tire mistake" on the second set I buy for this vehicle. someone else posted that they had 184-14/ 80's and I didn't see that si9ze listed for the 61 series. What gives?
