Yea I've got an 82 westy, I was looking at those altimax but it seemed too close to minimum load limit and from what I hear from a few others where the tread meets the sidewall they have deformed with indentions? Don't know on the cause or a defect?

This is a good tire for this van where most driving is 90-95% paved roads. I wouldn't recommend it for the Westies, however. Nor if you do a lot of dirt road driving.
