RE: Tires
I'm here to second everything Ron Salmon just said, he makes sense. I'm also
one that drove an '85 Westy for the better part of six years on the wrong
tires (combination of my ignorance and a tire stores mistake) and can
testify vehemently about the difference in ride and handling difference that
proper tires make on a Vanagon. BTW, although no blowouts, I did have two of
four of the wrong tires develop separations during the time I was driving on
them.
And being redundant here, but Larry is just presenting the data he has put
together, not trying to advocate anything but paying attention to what VW
has been trying to tell up for a bunch of years.
