>I want a tire for all conditions and the correct ply >yada-yada-yada. The Michelin MXT's are still out there. I have them on two vans and like them very much. They are not however rated M & S and in my experience are probably not the best choice for Winter conditions. I have not really had any worries in the snow with the Syncro but that 4wd makes up for the lack of bite. I have never tried my 2wd Westy in the snow so I can't say how they would work on your van. In dry and wet conditions the MXT is a superb performer on the Vanagon. Best wishes, Tony Anthony L. Mourkas Hampden, Maine, USA 1984 Vanagon Westfalia 1987 Vanagon GL Syncro 1991 Jetta Eco Diesel |
