Hi Michael,


Be careful with those 205/70/14's - last time I checked there was no
longer any such tire available that has the correct load range for
the Vanagon.  I'm no tire expert, but I do know that the 185R14 and
195R14 such as Bus Depot carries are reinforced tires which is what
the manufacturer originally recommended (I have the 195's and am very
happy with them even though the ride is not quite as sweet as it was
on the discontinued Michelin Rainforce 205's).  Don't forget, 14" is
a very small rim to carry all that top heavy load.


Sincerely


Steve, in Chicago with 91 Vanaru GL
