<< Tires, The Never Ending Story: Hankook 819

    This is the same problem I had with the Agilis 81's on my "87 Westy
(check the archives for the whole gory story).  The tires being load range
"D" are TOO HARD !  Vanagons do not like too soft a side wall nor too hard a
side wall.  Load range "C" is the proper tire for a Vanagon, don't let any
tire flogger tell you differently.  >>
