I am changing wheel size on my Vanagon to 15" and am trying to get the right size tire. Today at a tire store, I was having little luck finding what I want until I came across a "Vanagon repacement tire" in a Michelin catalog that was (to my surprise) a MXL 205 65 15. Is that the original tire for one of the Eruovans? The MXL 205 70 14 was the original tire for the Syncro Vanagons but they don't make them anymore. Has anyone had experience with these tires? BTW I was quoted 115$ each. Todd Francis Ridgefield, Washington USA '86 Westy Syncro '91 Tristar |
