Emmett,

        I've gone through 2 sets of tires, now on my third and have found the keepers.

        I ordered 4 Yokohama Y356 Load Range D in 185R14 from Tirerack.com and
am in love with them.  We don't blow around as much in crosswinds and the
camper handles 1000x better.  I had received notes of people not liking
the ride but as long as you inflate them to the levels VW states in the
door jamb they ride great.

        By the way, with shipping they cost $258 to my door and another $40 to
have my local shop mount and balance them.
