I must have been re-directed there at some point. The official website recommends the same tire, and I chose the 87 model because that was as far back as the official website goes. I'm not advocating the use of these non-reinforced tires, just pointing out that Hankook does. http://www.hankooktireusa.com/support/tire_guide_display_final.asp

The domain definitely does not belong to Hankook Tire. The real Hankook USA site ( http://www.hankooktireusa.com/ ) doesn't even show the Vanagon under 1987 VW models. |
