Drew:

Until very recently Nokian made a 185R14 in the Hakka CS. They appear to be moving the CS tires to the new WR C design.

Anyway, they still list a 195R14 for the Hakka CS on their web site.

I have these tires (in 205/65-15) and think they are great on my Syncro Westy. I would not hesitate to put them on my 2wd '81 Vanagon.

Maybe your tire dealer can find a set of either of those sizes for you.

[Also, Busdepot lists the Hankook (which I have on my '81 and would recommend) and Comtrac--both in 185R14.]

Richard
