As I've recently learned alot about tires, I've come to realize that one
possible reason for my 83 Westphalia being so hard to steer when I'm parking
it is the front tire size.  I've been using 205-75-R14 passenger tires on
the front and rear and for years I've been wondering why it's so much harder
to park this car than it used to be.  It takes muscle to get into a tight
parking spot on the curb.  I even bought new springs on this list a few
years  ago, thinking that might improve the steering situation.  It didn't
make much difference.

I'm now thinking about using 185 width for the front tires, and 205 width on
the rear (which I need because I live on a dirt road and cross a creek
everyday).  Does anyone know if this is a good or bad idea.  The narrower
tires might make a big difference in the steering problem, but how would
they track with the wider tires on the rear?  And would it matter much if
there was a height difference?

Yeah, I know now about passenger tires on a Westphalia, but when I didn't
know the difference I had to believe the tire stores when they told me they
was ok.
