Listees: I have 215/70R 14 Goodyear Wrangler Aquatreds on my 90GL with the
5.5" steel wheels and although  they're awesome in heavy rain(eve after 25k
mi.) and the fact that they are much better than the junker 185/70/14 house
brand tires that were on there when I bought the van, they don't blow around
on the roadlike the house tires, but hard cornering on our curvey highways
really bears out the non reinforced side walls.  Will replace them with LTX
or whatever and my go to Benz wheels to get the speedo back to true.  With
the 215's, my speedo is only 1mph fast at 70.
