Subject:      Any suggestions on 15"  Michelin Arctic Alpin Snoo tires?
Content-type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1


Listees,


Just getting ready for another fine Rochester winter and looking for snow
tires.  Has anyone on the list with 15" wheels tried the Michelin
Arctic-Alpin?


I plan to put these on 15" steel rim from a 99 Passat.  What I found, at the
tirerack website is that there are several 15" sizes that will carry our
beloved Vanagons. (the 14" are too wimpy in max loading)




205/70QR15 rated at 95Q with a max load of 1521lbs.
215/65QR15 rated at 97Q with a max load of 1521lbs.
215/70QR15 rated at 97Q with a max load of 1609lbs.
225/70QR15 rated at 100Q with a max load of 1764lbs.
225/65QR15 rated at 102Q with a max load of 1874lbs.
235/70QR15 rated at 102Q with a max load of 1874lbs.
and so on.


I am leaning towards the 215/70R15 capable of 1609lbs. for my Syncro Westy.


Any input or insights on making a size selection will be welcomed.


Thanks,




Joel Cort
