Subject:15" Snow Tires
From:Fitz-Randolph, Douglas

I'm wondering if anyone has found a s-t-u-d-a-b-l-e LT215/75R15 snow
tire with the appropriate load rating, i.e. C / 6-ply or better?
There are plenty of choices in 235/75R15, but I don't want to go
any bigger than my current 215/75's. There are also several choices
in P215/75R15 with max load ratings of 1,742 lbs / 100S - Firestone
Winterfire, Goodyear UltraGrip - but as these are designated
"passenger tires", they should be avoided, right?

I'm currently using 185R14 Nokian Hak' 10's which are great, but I
need new snows for my Volvo 240 - which uses the same tire size -
so I figured if I'm going to get new tires/wheels, why not upgrade
to 15" snows on the Vanagon?

Sorry to be the one to bring up tires again...
