<P>hi, </P>
<P>I have a question regarding tires for my 87' vanagon GL. All 4 tires on my van are about worn out and I want to buy a new set. I went on to tirerack.com and enter the information, it tells me that the original spec. should be 185/0-14 (these are reinforced, I guess). My VW mechanics (and I trust these people) told me that most owners they deal with use 205/75-14. I went to a tire shop and the people there weren't comfortable putting the 205 tires on because they are not original-sized and reinforced. The tires I have currently are 205/70-14.</P>
<P>I am little confused as to what I should use and just want to know what people&nbsp;have (if you have original wheels and rims) for their vans, and if any 205/75-14 tires can be used without sacrificing safety.</P>
<P>thanks,</P>
