The Michelin XCA 205/75R14 is still a top choice in a 14" tire for the Westy/Vanagons in my book. They ar readily available, but perhaps not through the likes of Walmart and Costco. You would just have to ask them. The tires are, after all, from Michelins truck tire line, not from their passenger vehicle line. of tires. But then the Westy/Vanagons need a tall stiff walled tire for best performance. Regards, John Rodgers 88 GL driver
