  Very happy with the Agillis.  Vancos are not bad for a Bay Window bus, either.

    Thanks, Pete!  I'm glad to hear it, but I have to wonder how much longer they'll be available.  Forever, I hope....'cause that's how long I'll (we'll) be needing them.

    Hey, Mike:

    The Agillis are still at Tire Rack.  If you buy 4, you get a road emeergency
    kit for free - very useful for a bus pilot!

    I have Agilis on my '87 and Continential Vancos on my '79

       The problem is finding any LT tire available anywhere by any manufacturer
      to fit the stock 14" rims on your '86.
       Lately, they're not generally available anywhere...........
       I like my Michelin Agilis tires, but I can't locate them anymore, even
      though I just bought some from TireRack less than a year ago (not that I
      need any right now..........)

      Good luck,

       Any suggestions from the list as to what tires to use on a 1986 Vanagon
      Westfalia?

      I have seen discussions about a load range C being required, which is
      understandable. However, how does this relate to the current sizes and type
      of tires on the North American market? I�m guessing an LT class tire should
      be acceptable, but what P size?

      Thanks

      Dave
