Actually, I have had good luck with the Hankook D load range tires. They
have been available on the West Coast for about 5 years. I drove a Westy
cross-country on them about four years ago, and they handled very well. Wore
well too.  I just put another set on my current Westy because I was happy
with the first set. (Besides, at under $60 each the price was right. :-)
Once again I'm happy with the way this van rides on them. Hopefully they
will wear as well as the first set did.
