> Its a good report, Larry, but for two things. You insist that a >Vanagon is a "Light Truck" and needs truck tires, and that just ain't so. I >have used a 1984 GL as my contractor's work van for 12 years. I have run >only passenger car tires and have had no problems whatsoever. I don't >understand why you are so stuck on this. A 1982 Crown Vic runs passenger >tires and weighs more than my van, tools and all. A Mercedes weighs more >than my van and comes with car tires. Your Vanagon is a car, Larry. If you >want it to drive more safely, install wider rims to hold more volume of >air, and mount some nice modern car tires with modern tread design and a >modern compound. No really, don't just theorise, do it and see. Jake AMEN AMEN AMEN!!! |
