He said that the only "for >Vanagon tires" I will find are from Michilen. I bought the proper Michelin tires about two years ago for my '91 Camper after speaking to a person at Michelin about a replacement for the discontinued original MXL reinforced tires. The correct tire is the Michelin MXT reinforced 205/70R14, Michelin part number 73568. The tires have driven fine, are pretty quiet, and have held up well. I think they were about $75 or $80 each at the time. - Scott ssminkey@xyplex.com 91 Camper (for sale) |
