I too replaced the Michelin LTX tires that were on my 88 Westy with Agilis 61 last spring, before our trip to Florida. I wish I had done it much earlier. The van handles better and is not subject to being tossed around so much in a cross wind. It even seems more nimble driving around town but that could just be my imagination.
