     I'm wondering if anyone out there that has gone to 15" rims has a favorite tire to recommend?
    Particularly for a Westy. I've searched through the archives, but didn't find anyone recommending one tire over another. Any comments from those of you who have gone the 15" rim route would be greatly appreciated. What worked really well, what didn't, etc.
     
    Thanks,

    84 Westy
John,


Have an '85 Syncro Westy here, with the Audi rims.  I'm *super* pleased with the 'Trail Buster Radial APR'  215 75R15's I put on ~15K miles ago.  In addition to the weight of the Westy, I've carried 3,000 lbs of rock inside.  The tires performed great.  Load rating is 1,765 lbs @ 50 psi.  Price was about $375 for set of 4 - mounted, balanced, valve stems, & tax.
