<snip> The Volkswagen spec is a tire that has REINFORCED SIDEWALLS or a LT rating. <snip> I am really happy to be reading this discussion. I have looked at every tire on every vanagon I come across, And while all have been LT or reinforced tires i have not seen one tire with more than 2 sidewall plies - they all seem to be 2+2 tread and 2 poly side wall. · How are REINFORCED side wall tires different and how are they labeled. · Are there more than 2 brands. I want new wheels so that I can get a decent tire for less money than my High performance subaru tires ($600/4) - GoWesty has some good statements about tires, I just don't know where to put my life (and $$) steve-v |
