I had a very new set of passenger tires on my Van when I got it and felt the same way you do about wearing them out before I bought new ones. After driving 2000 miles here in the mountains of North Carolina I changed my mind. It was dangerous. I went to 5 or 6 tire stores with my info from the list. Nobody here had any of those tires. Nobody I went to would try to special order any of those tires. But I finally got a set of 185R14's and what a difference. Mark 85 Vanagon |
