Listees: I have 215/70R 14 Goodyear Wrangler Aquatreds on my 90GL with the 5.5" steel wheels and although they're awesome in heavy rain(eve after 25k mi.) and the fact that they are much better than the junker 185/70/14 house brand tires that were on there when I bought the van, they don't blow around on the roadlike the house tires, but hard cornering on our curvey highways really bears out the non reinforced side walls. Will replace them with LTX or whatever and my go to Benz wheels to get the speedo back to true. With the 215's, my speedo is only 1mph fast at 70. dimwitted Moose and Flying Squirrel. 90GL 138k LR< AR -----Original Message----- From: Stephen Arbaugh <sneakers@OZ.NET> To: vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM <vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM> Date: Wednesday, September 08, 1999 8:14 PM Subject: All those with 205 tires...
