For now... and i try a lot of Vanagon each week with all kind of tire, the
Continental Vanco are dificult to beat as for handling, even in heavy rain
and wind.

I have the 15in version,  different "shape wise" than the 14in.  I have the 205.


With the Subi engine i had no choice to go for a solid tire and 15 or 16in
wheels.


I also likie the Vred but they are more and more dificult to get.

ps.: i hate tire thread :-)

'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
