I am planning to replace the incorrect and woefully inadequate tires on
my '87 Westfalia with the correct tires. I have the alloy wheels that
take a 205/70R14 tire, and I'm considering the Michelin MXT. I just
visited my local Howard Tire/Wheel Works and was quoted $93/tire, plus
all the installation costs (mounting/balancing/extended road hazard
protection) and tax. Came to $505 total.


Does $93 per tire sound reasonable? Is this my best tire option? I've
read generally positive press on it in the archives and at the
Vanagon.com site, but I can't seem to find this tire listed at either
Tire Rack or even Michelin's website.


The considerable experience of the listserve listees is appreciated.
