I have these same tires - 205-70x14 tires from General - on my 88GL
and they are just fine. 99% of my driving is on pavement, and the van
handles well on these tires. But these tires DO NOT belong on a Westy.
They are, after all, a passenger car tire, and while they work OK for
the more lightly loaded straight vans, Westies, in my opinion are simply
to heavy. The tires also lack the stiff sidewall strength the Westy
requires for good, safe handling.

My $0.02.
