I'm sure all of you know this already, but I just had a set of 4 Mich MXT
205s installed on my 87 Westy, and I can NOT begin to tell you the
difference in handling.


My old tires were fine, but they were NOT reinforced, and my van used to
sway like a sapling when any hint of a cross wind showed it's windy face.


With the new tires, the ride is quieter, more stable, tighter in the turns,
and the crosswind effect is minimal.


A MUCH IMPROVED RIDE.


If you are waiting to upgrade your tires for whatever reason, don't wait,
just do it.  Get the MXTs while you still can. The new tires will make you
drive your Westy with as much "PERMA-GRIN" as the day you first picked it
up.  Worth every cent.  Trust me.


- Peace


Steve in Columbus.
