I have a 90 Westy.  I need new tires and I am thinking of putting on the
Kirkland brand from Costco - a light truck tire - which is 195/75 R 14.
Right now I have 185 R 14 tires all round and that's the way she came
originally.

I know the late model Vanagons came with 2 different spare tire carriers and
tension rods depending on which size wheel was fitted.  Either 205/70 R 14
or 185 R 14.

So ... can I squeeze in the Costco tires that so many seem to like or do I
have to upgrade to the larger spare tire carrier and tension rods and sleeve
the rods or something to take the 195/75 tires??

Thanx
