I have had these tires on my '90 Westy for 40K miles (warranted for 50K and I will probably make that) now, with no problems. Well, I did just pick up a screw (in the tire) on a recent trip to San Diego. Backed it out (don't just rip it out) and had it repaired. They are a little noisier than the original tires and pick up lots of little rocks, but they ARE LT's. I run them at 38 front and 48 rear. Glad to know they are still available, especially since my local Big O store just quoted me $127 for the Michelin Agilis 61's.
