Question
I need tires for my '75 westfalia, i have 14 inch rims, what is the best size tire to get..? i have been told 185/75/R14 some others have said 195/75/R14.. what would you suggest?

Answer
Giuliano,

Westfalia's - and its brethren the microbus, Eurovan, etc. - are very special creatures and require special tires - Reinforced or "C" type tires (the European version of "LT"'s).

I suggest you read up on what an expert has to say on Westy's and tires:

This is but one page, but it highlights the need to get proper tires - and Capt. Mike, knows what he is talking about when it comes to tires.
