My suggestion would be a 225/60-16. There are a lot of choices in this size
including extra load (XL) choices. Even a standard tire in this size will
have a 97 or 98 load index. Just make sure the inflation pressure can go to
44 psi. If you really want taller you can go to a 215/65-16. Avoid this if
an automatic. Nokian has some real good offerings in both these sizes if you
want to spend some money. I also now have a source of 17" wheels which are
working out real nice with 225/55-17XL tires. Make sure the wheel you choose
has adequate load capacity and proper offset.

Subject: Tires- 16" recommendations?

I'm going to upgrade to 16" tires on my '84 Westy.
Any specific recommendations?

Thanks
