Because if you do want to stick with tires that meet VW safety standards for Vanagon use, 14" tires that meet those specs are much cheaper than 15" or 16" ones that do. And there at least as wide if not an even wider selection. There are relatively few 15" tires that meet Vanagon specs, and scarcely any 16" ones. - Ron Salmon The Bus Depot, Inc. www.busdepot.com |
