I've  been using 185s for a long time, and know other have as well. What
problem am  I having that I don't know about?

i used to run 205's  when i used to run 14"s .. the 185s are a  car sized
tire.. the same as on a Golf..    i know vanagons came  with them but ...just
not for me.. that's why i said " IMO"     :)
( would never run 14" wheels on a vanagon again...all mine have 15" and 16"
 now)
