The specs they give there for that tire ( 8/D rating, 1874# load @ 65
psi) certainly seem correct for a Vanagon (but it's a 14" tire).  On
the other hand, their "find-a-tire" page gives totally ridiculous
recommendations for an '89 Westy.


The Kumho UK site refuses to recommend a tyre for any T3/Transporter,
says talk to the dealer.  However if you ask for a 205/65R15C tyre
with 97 load index, the only one they recommend is the 857 102 R.


Faskinating, these interwebs...I didn't bother trying to find the
Korean site, since I likely couldn't read it anyway (though I have an
ex-stepsoninlaw who is both Korean and in Korea, so if you really
want to know...)
