Fellows and Fellaws:
Just yesterday I bought two Michelin Weatherwise 205-75-14 tires for my '84
Westfalia.  I got two of this last year and had them put on the rear, and
was waiting for a chance$ to get the other two.  The new ones were put in
the front substituting two Whatchamacallit 205-70-14.  Price for the duo was
$186 including tires, lifetime wheel balance and road hazards (I know this
are a catch, but in the roads I usually used, you are going to use this
extra services).  They have a 1554# max carrying load at 35 psi.  Tire
store: Western Auto (Sears owned auto parts)

I'm sure glad I changed to this tires, they feel great and look good in the
wheel well.
Now I need help in adjusting the headlights because they are aimed way too
high.  Any help?
