Hello - I had asked about these tires a few weeks ago and some list members had requested that I tell them what I think once I got them. I choose this size because I have the stock VW alloys. I had the tires put on last Wed and then promptly made a 500 +/- rouind trip over the weekend. They are pretty great tires. Road noise is very low. We had a moderate head/cross wind on the first leg of our trip and I didn't have any problems with the bus feeling unstable or any feelings of squishy/wobbliness. (these tires DO have the proper load rating for our vans). I've read they can be lame on grass or gravel but I haven't experienced that - although I haven't done a lot of driving on either (most of our driving is on paved roads). So in a nutshell I highly recommend these. They run $59 per tire on tire rack. I was able to get Discount tire to order them for just slightly more. $357.00 for 4 tires (included tax, mounting , and balance). I know you get what you pay for but I'm on a budget and these are some great tires for what I paid. Thanks to Dennis Haynes for recommending these. My bus is very happy with these too :) -- Thanks, Jeff '85 GL (Gertie) '90 Carat (Grover - the noble parts donor) '86 (We call this one Scrap) '78 Bus (Melissa) Patty's Bus
