Congrats on yet another Vanagon. For tires the place that I have scoped out to be the best deal in the tirerack at www.tirerack.com. What you want to get for our beloved Vanagons are the Michelin MXT 205/70R14 with reinforced sidewalls, if yours takes the 205 size (with the mag wheels) other than that you would take the 185/70R14 again with the reinforced. Michelin makes one and so does Continental - although the Conties are pretty crappy on slippery surfaces (from my experience in Utah in the snow) OK for the best carpeting deal try the GO Westy web site at www.gowesty.com They seem to have lots of choices and custom carpeting. Top notch quality for those tough wear areas. Good luck, Cheers, Joel Cort 89 Syncro Westy - Rochester NY. --- Joe and Sue Fleming <suefleming@MINDSPRING.COM> wrote: > Just bought another '84 Vanagon - this one WITH air > conditioning - the 4 > kids are very excited.
