I would go to the 215/70-14. Capacity 1544 lbs. Remember that when using a passenger tire on a light truck, the tire should be de-rated by 10%. I would also consider the Pirelli APT-400. The APT is their truck tire line. I just installed Goodyear Wrangler Aquatreads on my Syncro Westy. So far great tire. Can also be inflated to 44 psi.

I need to replace the tires on my 85 Westy. I got a quote from Merchants tire here in Springfield VA of $76.95 per tire (includes mount, balance, stems, disposal) + tax. The tire is a 205/70R14, Perrelli P-400, load rang B (1433lbs capacity) with an 80,000 tread warantee. Is this a good deal or should I keep shopping? I called about 3 or 4 FLAPS and no one could find 205/70R14s in load rang C or D. Anyone in the DC metro area have any luck finding a good deal on tires? Thanks,
