My mistake on the 70/75 deal.  In any case, they ride very well and are
doing the job thus far, and Bessie looks much better with them on.  I'll
report any problems that may arise...
By the way, does anyone have an interior sliding door panel, preferably blue
but not necessarily, that they're looking to get rid of?  thanks.

Hi,
According to my Goodyear brochure, this tire does not come in size
215/75R14, only 215/70R14.
Also, according to the brochure, the 205/70R14 is a passenger rated tire
(not light truck) and supports only 1412lbs at 35psi, which is just
barely adequate for a non-Westy Vanagon.

This past Friday I got rid of some old marshmallow Toyo's that came with
my
Vanagon and got the 215/75R14 Goodyear Workhorse radials, a light truck
tire, reinforced with A/T tread.  They are fantastic.  I haven't had a
chance to try them out in rain or snow, but on dry pavement they make
the
ride, handling, and overall feel much, much better than before.  And
they're
big and provide a higher stance and better look than the old ones.
