<snip> Does anybody have any suggestions in the realm of tire replacement or suspension mods that may help these vans ride more stable in windy conditions <snip> You didn't say what you're changing from. When I bought my '85 Westy, it had (ugh!) passenger tires on it and was all over the road in a wind. I put Hakkapeliitta C2 tires all around and the stiff sidewalls really made a difference. Getting the proper load range, no matter what brand, will really make a difference. Mike Houlton, Maine '84 GL 7 pass '85 GL Westy |
