That's most likely a passenger car tire. According to their web site, http://www.goodyear.com, they don't make a tire for the Vanagon. You see the reason now why Goodyears are not recommended on the list, and I wouldn't do business with someone who would sell me an incorrect tire. If you have no problem with spending the money, go with Michelins. Most any shop or gas station will order them, probably even your Goodyear store, but I'd still stay away from them. They will probably try to sell you brakes while you are there too. -- Stuart MacMillan Seattle '84 Vanagon Westfalia w/2.1 '65 MGB (Daily driver since 1969) '74 MGB GT (Restoring sloooowly) Personal mechanic for: '70 MGB GT (Daughter's) Assisting on Restoration (and spending OPM): '72 MGB GT (Was daughter's, now son's) '64 MGB (Son's) Stripped and gone but their parts live on: '68 MGB, '73 MGB, '67 MGB GT |
