Subject:Re: Will 205/75/r14 tires fit on a 1990 Vanagon?

If stopping and steering is as important as going, then you really need
winter tires on all 4 corners. My guess is that you are considering
passenger car tires. If so, make sure they are rated to 44 psi. A 215/70
would be a better choice for capacity. Both the 205/75 and 215/70 are
slightly taller than the 205/70 tires. If using larger tires in the rear
than the front, have the front end realigned and the caster adjusted
with the larger tires installed to keep the steering feeling proper.

Hello all:

I need 2 winter treads and the only available are
205/75/14 (as opposed to 205/70/14 on there now)

Anyone know if they fit?

Kevin
