I will be needing new tires prior to making my next long trip. A Discount Tire representative gave me this list of 14 inch tires that meet the specifications for our vehicles yesterday: 185R14 -- Nankang, Hancook, Yokohama, Continental, Kumho 195R14 -- Nankang, Hancook, Kumho The Hancooks are the ones we already know about, ditto the Continentals (Vanco). The Kumho is the Radial 857, which I currently have and have been very happy with. I could not find a Yokohama tire on the Yokohama web page, and have not yet looked up Nankang. I will check with the Discount Tire rep again for more specifics a bit later, as I have time, probably a few months actually, before I buy tires, unless something exceptional comes up. mcneely ---- Pat <psdooley@VERIZON.NET> wrote: > You made the cardinal sin of not saying where you are located. > > > > > > _____ > > From: Vanagon Mailing List [mailto:vanagon@gerry.vanagon.com] On Behalf Of > Harry Hoffman > Sent: Thursday, August 16, 2012 9:08 PM > To: vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM > Subject: Re: Tires > > > > I have brand new (well couple hundred miles in them) hankooks that I'd love > to sell. > 4 or 5 your pick, also with the 89 carat wheels! > > -------- Original Message -------- > From: ac butler > Sent: Thu, Aug 16, 2012 08:20 PM > To: vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM > CC: > Subject: Tires > > Is there any new information about tires out there to be found. > > 205 70 r 14 can be found but has slim pickings > > 185 r 14 is older and cannot be found. > > Curious what people have found, I am in the market for a van set. > > No virus found in this message. > Checked by AVG - www.avg.com > Version: 2012.0.2197 / Virus Database: 2437/5204 - Release Date: 08/16/12 -- David McNeely |
