The most important thing to look for when buying tires for a vanagon...
especially the heavier Westy.... is the load index or maximum weight
allowed... other wise you might get a good deal and kill yourself... the
vanagon is heavy and not just any tire is safe... for a discussion of load
index see www.vanagon.com
