David -

See http://www.vanagon.com/ and look in the Info section for tire
suggestions.

I just put on a set of Kumho 852s that I bought at Les Schwab (NW US tire
dealer) and been quite satisfied. They are still listed as current on
Kumho's web page, and there is a dealer locater section if you want to find
someone close to you -

How many miles did you get on your set?  They strike me as an excellent
value, especially for a tire with a load capacity of 104 (the Westy only
needs 97)

Okay, I have a 1988 Vanagon GL with the weekender package. I have a =
problem: I can't find proper tires. Apparently these machines originally =
came with six-ply tires. I have been running Kumho Commercial A/S 852's, =
but they are getting tough to find. What else can I use?
