I have found what appears to be the best deal going on tires for
vanagons. COSTCO now carries a load range C under their house brand
name. I was told that they are made by Michelin. They look similar to
Michelins's LTX.  COSTCO item # 187448, 195-75-R14 ,60,000 mile
warranty, $48.49 each, $7 installation and balance. My friend just put 5
on his Syncro and they ride nice.
