Just to add to the discussion about tires, I went to the local tire store: Wheel works and asked what they had in a reinforced 205/70R14. Their reply was that the only tire they knew about was a Michelin MXT (at $93 each) I did ask about the Yokohamas but they came up blank. They did offer to double check if I came up with the Yokohama model that I was interested in. The one hesitation I have about the Michelins is that my current ones (MXL) seem to have ultra flexible sidewalls which gives the van a driving feel not unlike being on a boat in rough swells. Is this a characteristic of the Michelins? The Vanagon? Opinions? |
