Ok list tire guru's of doom-----
I have a question on this HD truck tire fairy tale's---
I'm under my 87 Westy today, changing the ATF, and cleaning the screen--
I'm all done, roll out from under on my creeper, and for some unknown
reason stop at the R/H rear tire, and start reading the sidewall----
Yokomamma, 205x 75x14 Van Special.
Hmmmm--Van special-----must have something here----
Load range D
1840lbs.@ 65 psi----
2 plys rayon
2 plys steel
2 ply sidewall----
Hey this is the same crap my "cheap Cooper's" are !!!
( except the Cooper's are rated at 1540 lbs. @ 36 psi.)
And they ain't no "Van Specials'"
So tell me O guru's of doom----what give's?
These tire's that are rated for vans, ain't no better than the car
tire's I have on my 85 GL !!!
How can they be rated at a higher load at a higher psi, when they are
constructed the same way?
NUT'S------
Later,
