Subject:      Re: Hankook tire query...update

 <Thanks to those who have replied so far on
my questions about the Hankook RA-08 tires in the 195 series, 14 inch size.  It
seems that out of all the comments that only one person actually may have those
particular tires on a Westy.  He commented that they were "squirrely on the
highway" - not what I really wanted to hear!  I'm still waitin>


Can't tell you about the Hankooks, but I put Continental Vanco 8's on my '84 Westy, got the 205 size, mounted on alloys, and I am VERY satisfied with them. No "squirrely" handling at all. I got them from Tire Rack, about $90.00 each   Jeff
