Subject:Factory Alloys-what brand tires will fit
From:Paul Bucco
Date:Fri, 7 Apr 2000 02:01:41 EDT

Hello List People,

             I know alot of you are sick of old posts but i searched the
archives and it mentioned MXT's, but are these still out there and are there
alternatives?   I would like to gather as much info as i can.  I am on the
Jersey Shore, which experiences every weather condition out there and then
throw in the salt air to boot!  My Vanagon is an 87 Wolfsburg Edition w/
auto. trans. and i think the factory tire size for this model is  205/70/14,
if that helps.  I want a tire for all conditions and the correct ply
yada-yada-yada.  My tires currently on there have dry, cracking sidewalls.
So, i will be buying two pair.  Any suggestions?  In a Vanagon related
matter,  I have finally picked up a used Bentley manual and it should be in
my possession by next week!

Thanks in advance,

Paul Bucco   ibuyvws@aol.com
