Hi all you TireHeads, With the near continuous talk of tire on this list I've decided to take it upon myself to create a tire database that's accessible on the www for people to refer to. If you use a tire that you like on a Vanagon, please provide the following information. Most of it should be on the sidewall of your tire: Here's an example for the Michelin MXT: ---------------------------------------------------------- Size: 205/70-R14 Service Rating: P (P=passenger car, LT=Light Truck) Load Index: 99 Load in Lbs: 1709 Speed Rating: S Maximum Pressure: 50Psi Pricer Range: $80-$110 Optional if you have it: ---------------------------------- "Section Width" : Overall Diameter: Your Evaluation of: ----------------------------- Comfort: Tread Wear Life: Road Noise: Dry Handling: Wet Handling: Snow Traction: Off-Road Traction:
