<<  If you run 14" wheels, the tire for you would be the 27x8.5R14. I
know this will work on the Alloy rims. If you are running the 5.5 inch
wide
steel 14 inch rims, this might not be recommended (though I believe I
recall someone using them on the 5.5 inch wide rims.) >>




   One of those guys would be me.  I've run two different M&S rated
27x8.5R14 tires on stock Vanagon 5.5" wide rims, with no problems.


   BFG Radial All-Terrain T/ A's, (not ko) and now Multi-Mile Wild
Country Radial XRT's.  According to the DOT code on the tire, these
things are manufactured by Kelley Springfield.  The MM's are much quieter
than those BFG's were.
