Hey volks,


Michelin 205/75/r14's XCA's rock. Slightly taller than the poor 205/70's and
they ride very smoothly and quietly. 2200 load rating so I can now put about
10 people in my westy. Joking!!!


Seriously, now no worries about what I load into the van for trips, 8 ply
rating. Got 'em at Discount tire and they gave me the $93 tTire rack price.
The did have to order them though.  They are a truck tire and don't have a
passenger tire look. More like pickup 4x4 tire. They are 26.5 inches tall so
they drop the revs about 5%. I will let the list know how many revs @ 60 mph
timed velocity on the mile markers.


pmail me if you have other questions.




Cheers,
mark
87 westie
99 passat
93 cabrio


Finally,dDoes anybody have one of these tires fitting in the spare tire bin?
