That tire is actually stock diameter, revolutions per mile so no speedo or
gearing advantage. However it really should be on a 7" wide wheel minimum.
Also, is it rated to be inflated to proper Vanagon pressures or is it
limited to 35 psi.?

Can someone tell me if my speedometer is off much since I put 245 60 14
tires on my stock rims? I wanted better handling and it definitely worked
but I really didnt think about the mph difference. Thanks!!
