I've got a question about load ratings on wheels. This thread is a very specific question. I am not referring to tires. I am not asking about experiences with vehicles other than Vanagons. My question is: Does anyone have any firsthand knowledge of a wheel failure on a Vanagon due to overloading? I am specifically talking about Vanagons. I am also talking about failures due to an overload situation. I'd prefer not to hear about wheels that have been drilled out to fit a Vanagon - I'm trying to eliminate variables here. So, how about it? Any first hand knowledge? Cheers, Bruce motorbruce@hotmail.com |
