My 87 Westy (Love Wagon II) has P20570R14 tires and I understand that the original tires were P18570R14. I suppose the only problem with that is that it means that the speedometer is reading too low. Now that I need new tires I am considering returning to OEM size but I want to follow the advice of the collective intelligence in making the choice. Some recommend reinforced sidewall tires...my local tire shop doesn't stock these and they are about twice the price of basic tires. If my Westy is used only for occasional camping, driving stability is fine (huge improvement compared to the 78 vintage Love Wagon I) and almost never off road do I really need reinforced tires? Ed
