It starts off by excluding the 185R14C size that an '87 with steel wheels calls for, and instead mentions only a 205/70R14C tire - which is correct for an '87 with alloy wheels (although the 185R14C will also still work). To its credit, it DOES specify an LT or reinforced tire - the C on the end denotes a commercial tire, which would indeed be LT rated. So it is indeed recommending a reinforced tire. But then it links to several Hankook tire series that it says are "available in that size," and none of them are. In fact, Hankook no longer offers a 205/70R14C tire at all, to the best of my knowledge. - Ron Salmon The Bus Depot, Inc. www.busdepot.com (215) 234-VWVW _____________________________________________ Toll-Free for Orders by PART # : 1-866-BUS-DEPOT
