Why buy trailer tires when you can have a van tire
with even more of a load range like 1850lbs, the
Yokohama y356 has load range of 1850lbs. I run these
on my westy and i am happy with them, especially on
the highway. im running size 185-R14 D 65PSI. The ride
is harsh when inflated to the max (65PSI) and you will
feel every crack in the road unless you fill them at
45PSI for driving around town. I got mine at
tirerack.com, heres a link:
