Seen on clients Vanagon, but also good specs for T-II.


JING LUNG
Made in China
Beijing Tyre Factory
(US/Canada Mkt)
185R14C
1872 lbs @ 65 psi cold
Load Range D
102/100N
8PR
Radial Tubeless


Cursory observations yeild no apparent fault or blemish.


Nice tread design looking like good for mud/snow. Client reports no road
noise issues. Not sure which vendor he got these at but they were special
order. If you can leave the politics out of it, it sure looks like the best
of specs for a loaded Westy or fully loaded delivery Kombi. Time will tell
how they wear.


So, anyone know Chinese?? Does "JING LUNG" translate to "Road Master" or
"Buried in the mud for 300 years" or what??????
