Hey Folks -
What type of tire should I use on a 78 Westy? Any good/bad experiences with different types/brands?

Also - can a TOW BAR be used to tow a VW Van? (1978) - I see two large hook like things under the front.

You want to use an L/T (light truck) tire. They can tell you what size. Don't use car tires. L/Ts have stronger sidewalls.

I am happy with Yokohama Y356 tires (with a "C" rating) from www.tirerack.com

I put 185 R14 All terrain L/T's on my bus and I have been very satisfied. They have pretty chunky tread on them but they make for an impressively smooth ride.
