Ours is an `88 Westfalia. We got the Bridgestones from Big 10 Tires in Tallahassee. I am told they were designed for the Toyota 1-ton pickup (not the new T-100, but a heavy-duty version of the small pickup). They were about $80 each, which is about what we paid for reinforced XZXs before. They're really beefy (as the specs would imply), but they're not too noisy, work pretty well in the wet, and are the same size as the originals.
