A good 14 inch tire for your Westy would be the Michelin XCA 205/75/R14 - 8 ply Reinforced sidewall, Load Range "D". You will never go wrong with this tire. It has everything for the weight of the Westy, I have them on my 88 V-gon GL John Rodgers 88 GL Driver Ed Bass wrote: >My 87 Westy (Love Wagon II) has P20570R14 tires and I understand that the >original tires were P18570R14.
