Any opinions on the best highway (rain) tires for an '85 Weekender that's loaded down like a Westy with
dual Yakimas on the roof?


When I had a '91 Westy, there was a Michelin MX L that
was designed specifically for Westies, but I understand
they are no more.


I put light truck tires on ~21K ago but the tread isn't
good enough for another winter (Portland, OR).


Also, any opinions on tire pressure? The sticker on the
door frame states 48Lbs Rear & 40 Front. I remember
reading something about a recommended change to
40 R & 30 F.


Thanks,
scr
