In a message dated 96-09-05 02:03:50 EDT, you write: << BTW 205R16 is the VW Syncro-16 stock size, diam=?? <28.5" I'd say, R+P gear ratios avail were: gas- 38:7 and 34:7(ours) diesel- 38:7 and 35:6 The 16" Syncro got diesel R+P, you may need to swap, but to which? >> Tim, Does Vw change to the 38:7 w/ the 16's? I bet they do due to the rolling radius.I had these 205x16 Michelins on my 1990 Range Rover I used to own and those tires were pretty tall, smaller than a truck tire ie:215 85 16, but much larger thab a vanagon.They are also skinny.
