Mine has factory 16" wheels on it... it originally came with 225/50 16s on
all four coners and a 225/60 16 spare - since then I have installed 225/60s
all around.  According to the tire dealer the 225/50s were in the area of
$300 new... some crazy V rated setup... wern't too much good for off
roading and there is no way in heck I would ever get the van to a speed
where I would need anything more than a Q tire!
