In the quest for a tire that fits all the requirements of the vanagon (in my
case 205/70 r14 97R) I have tried bigger rims (audi A6) with a lower profile
tire to attain same circumfrence. and I have tried big Ol' 14" truck tires (BF
Goodrich all terrain TA) on my syncro. But I have yet to find a tire, till
last week, that really gave me the ride that I want for less than a house
payment. I have been working with my local tire wholesaler and he and I decided to
try a 215/70 R14 96S. this tire is a Lite truck tire with reinforced side walls
and it is not gonna take your summer vwacation $$ and they can hold the proper
air pressure. 30 front and 40 rear so you still have some fuel left. the nice
thing about these tires is that they fill the wheel wells and look really
proper, and I am able to keep my nice and simple alloys.

Hope that this helps some IN SEARCH OF...
