As I sent to Jeff separately, http://www.nokiantires.com sells tires in this
size, as replacement tires for the Syncro Camper.  Their load range is 95
vs. 97, but I don't think that would be a major issue.  I had heard that
these were good tires, at least the Hakkapeliitta CS tires (gotta love those
Swedish names!).  Those were the tires I was planning on putting on the '84
Westy, until I was outbid...

And yes, I am still looking for a Vanagon Westy wasserboxer with A/C, for
under $5500.
