My Westy has been shod with Continentals (OEM), Dunlops and Michelin
tires over the years. All were load range "C". The Michelin Agilis 61
tires which are on the van now are, far and away, the best of the three
brands I've experienced as far as handling under windy conditions. Of
course, the van still catches a lot of wind on the highway but, with
the Michelins, is much more sure-footed and easier to handle.
