Sears can also order Continental reinforced which is what my 78 Westy came stock with. IMHO they are Michelin's equal. My newly acquired 89 is wearing Big O Big Foot 27X8.5LT. I think they're pretty good tires. If you ask one of our friends on the Type2 list, they would say Yokohama is the best-cost effective tire there is. A good rule of thumb is that the load rate be around 1500-1600lbs. There's my .02. Keep to the High Road Fred 78 and 89 Westys |
