Mark,

For the price difference, and the availability factor--I went with the
Yokohama 356--195 75 R-14's---

D rated, 1800 lbs,@ 65 psi---

I run them at 45 psi, and they handle well, follow the road well, and
the best part is they are only $61.00 per tire----

While I feel Michelin's are an excellent hoop--they are way over priced
for what your really getting----

Later,

Terry

Subject: Tires Michelin Agilis vs LTX M/S

This Michelin site is ranking the LTX M/S better than the Agilis. And
note that when you search under size 14 inch wheels, only the LTX M/S
pops up, and when you type in 15 inch wheels, LTX M/S, other LTX's, and
Agilis pops up. I almost ordered Agilis and I was told it would be a two
month wait, so I didn't buy anything. Note that Vanagon.com tire page
mentions the Agilis 81 but not the 61, this is a mix up isn't it? The 61
is made for the Vanagon, the 81 exceeds Vanagon specs, and made Frank of
Stebro unhappy, though he had bad u-joints..., some other guy said he
had 81's and he liked 'em.
�
Anyway, aren't the LTX M/S under-weighted for our vans? This current
version of Michelins site doesn't make this an easy answer. There are
more specs that don't mean anything to me than there are stars in the
heavens.
