        If your tires are set to 35  then you have a problem.  The proper
tire pressure on a Vanagon Westy  is as stated here _Click here: VW  Vanagon
Tires_ (http://www.roadhaus.com/tires/Silver%20Sticker%20Info.html)    and
should be on the silver sticker on your LH  door jamb.  If your titres are
not rated for more than 35 then you do not  have the correct tires.  You
really need to read the entire story at _Click here: Tire  Guidelines_
(http://www.roadhaus.com/tires/guideline.html)    So, then on to your noise problem.
I'm guessing  it's one or more of the CV joints gone bad.  Nothing to do
with  the tires unless one or more of the tires has a defect.



>>>>>>He told me to
let it cool down and then  this morning to check the air in the tires (they
were a bit low - 29 to 30  psi and recommended is 35 so I filled them to
33).
I then drove to town on  the highway as he recommended to see if there was
any change in the noise  at higher speeds.<<<<<<<
