<< Worrying about reinforced tires sure limits the selection. Did the Vanagon require reinforced tire, because mine sure never had them? >> Definitely. My '89 Westy's PO had shod it with a Sears non-reinforced LT tire and it's handling was positively squirreley on the Interstate if pushed above 55 MPH, even with no wind. Semi's passing me became a white-knuckle experience. I replaced them with 205x70 Michelin MXL reinforced and have been really happy with them. George
