I purchased a set of Agillis 8 ply tires last fall and they have been
great.I have put about 3,500 miles on them so far.  My 91 Westy does not
follow trailer trucks all over the interstate anymore....even though I did
have a good aim....i dont have to hold on to the steering wheel for dear
life when a truck or bus passes me. I run at about 60-65 mph tops on the
highway. Cornering also seems to be more precice and the wind drift has
been cut by more than 85%. The westy still moves a little bit in real
strong wind gusts but nothing like before. I read all the tire stuff in
the archives before I bought my Agillis tires and i highly recommend them
as a westy replacement tire. Sure there are other less expensive tires out
there but these are as close to OEM as your gona get.Michelin only makes
so many a year in thier product runs...so if you want em order them early.
I odered mine in late August and got the last 2 from the US and the other
2 had to come from Michelin in Itally.
