okokokokok  Hi Frank et al

I actually drove Eeore today so here's the info listed on the actual tire...

Agilis 51
205 65 R 15 C
1875 lbs max load

They do move a little in the wind but it's really not bad, only durring a
gust. It tracks straight but then again, I had a 215 xx 14 NON-reenforced
car tire on there from the PO before I put on the Michelins. Those 215s were
just plain dangerous. I found I could take turns 10+ miles an hour faster
with the reenforced side wall!

What is the load rating on your 81s? My guess is it's too stiff of a tire
for the van. I went with the 51s either on a post that it was the Eurovan
tire or on Tire Rack's suggestion. Don't remember which.

Oh, I have them on steel passat wheels with spacers and there's still not
really any wandering to speak of.

Mikey
`87 Westy Eeore

  I will now try 30# front and 35# and see what that does.  What do
you other Michelin Agilis users have to say about this ?  Are your Agilis
61's or 81's ?  LR/C or LR/D ?  Do you have any handling problems related to
your tires ?  All comments, advise or suggestions are welcome.<<

Cheers
