Tires, Tires....I am the second owner of my 82 Westy. It came from the
factory with Continental 185R14 tires with a load range of 1720lbs. Does
that tell you something???? Why would VW put that load range on a Westy? Me
thinks it could have something to do with weight and safety?  So why risk
the life of your loved ones? The differences in cost between tires is mote.
Go for safety and stability.

BTW I put Yoko  Y370 195/75R-14 load range D 1710lbs on my Westy. Another
plus side to these tires is that they are M&S rated.  They cost me under
$60/tire on sale at Sears. :-)

My dollar two ninety eight :-)
